vivalaWho: Raph, Donnie
Where: Subterranean Farms - Donnie's Garden
When: Some time after the Maleficent Rescue Mission
What: How to check on your brudder while checking in on your brudder :(

Despite having the slightest clue about how gardens work, Raph readily volunteers his time by prioritizing certain things over other things — spending it by hanging out with his younger brother, for instance.
Not in a clingy kind of way, but more in line with just physically being present now that the rescue mission is behind them. And maybe it is kind of clingy. Still, Raph has his reasons and he's sticking with them. Donnie needs the support, and he wants to continue being there for him, helping him in any way that he possibly can.
Weeding becomes one way he can be productive while hanging out with Donnie, quickly running into an issue with the flowers being, well, flowers. These are small and delicate. In comparison, his hands are large and laden with sausage-like mutant fingers. He doesn't let it discourage him completely, though, figuring out a way to work around the problems so that he can carry on with the task.
It's the application of what dad has taught him:
...Slow...
...Motion...
...Jutsu.
Hunching over, the large turtle controls his movements, making smaller, slower gestures that gradually pick at the tangled weeds among the petals. He squints as another weed is plucked, letting its roots drift in the air before dropping it into a little basket.
He then turns partway to look for Donnie's approval.

Date: 2025-06-25 04:24 am (UTC)Being in the garden helps. Being with his brother...helps more. Here he doesn't have to think too much, and can actually get away with it. Handling plants is a different process, and there's something...entertaining, about watching Raph try his hand at weeding.
"That's good, Raph," he chuckles, brow arching as he counts the sprigs in the basket. "You don't really have to go that slow though. I've already gone through two rows here."
