Was it too much? Donnie doesn't usually interact with kids so he's not sure how to gauge the response from them.
He shuts his mouth, suddenly uncertain, but not about his reasoning. But he does blink, surprised, perhaps, when Aira validates the things he'd mostly assumed, because these sorts of stories don't go into that much detail. Something in his chest aches a her words.
When he looks up as Raph speaks up, Donnie isn't sure what to make of the shift in his somewhat-brother's expression. Feeling Raph's arm loosen, Donnie shifts so he can get into a more comfortable position while he listens. He swallows the knot that suddenly seems to be in his throat then, glancing away as he rubs awkwardly at his arm.
