There we go. Aira nods along with Raph's thoughts, quite pleased with what he has to say. Not that she's unique in this experience, but she's been burned before at times when she didn't prioritize enough clear and healthy communication. It's a good lesson, and a few of the kids are looking positively thoughtful.
... Most of the ones who are still engaged, anyway. Since kids will be kids, more of them are just looking antsy at this point. It's probably time to start wrapping this up; in the meantime, she can consider whether to apologize to Donnie or not. Belatedly, Aira is realizing she might be giving him too much crap—just, like, in general.
She offers some closing thoughts, and then the kids head off. The more polite ones say thank you, and quite a few of them smile and wave goodbye to Aira and the turtles. Once the three of them are alone, Aira sighs and stretches a little.
"Whew! That was kind of tough. So thanks for sitting in, you guys, it was nice."
