Mike looked from the knife in the wall to the huddled form on the sofa and back to Machias.
M: um. (whispered) why don't you go make some tea or something, ok? (Machias nooded and left Mike to deal with the girl on the sofa.)
Mike moved up to the couch with a sideways scoot.
M: kya?...
Leo walked into the room with a barely hidden smile plastered across his features.
L: Vespera's on her way safely hom--
He took in the set of Mike's features and Kya's posture. His grin fell away.
L;(grimly) what now?
Mike pointed at the knife in the wall with his eyes.
L: Kameko's knife?... Mike. What happened.
M: Raph and Kameko blew up about NOTHIN. an she threw the knife at him. He refused to give it back and that's (banging and obscene lyrics from Kameko's room... something being whaled on in the dojo in the other direction. Mike winced) that's why, um... (he glanced at the Kya-ball on the sofa.)
Leo grimly pulled the blade from the wall. and wordlessly headed toward ground zero of the offensive music. He opened the door without knocking. She wouldn't have heard him. He stopped in the doorway, though. She was staring at something in her hands. He waited for her to notice him.
