[Leo wouldn't want him to feel anything close to guilt, since it's not like they left him alone on purpose. But still, it means a lot to him that Donnie is willing to say that; it's quite the olive branch, given some of his tendencies.
He grins big at that.]
Of course. I'm gonna drag you out for movie nights and skateboarding time, after all.
[And plenty of other things too, if he gets his way. He was serious that as long as they're here, might as well experience some normal human things. Though really he doesn't care what they do as long as they're doing it together.
[That grin says plenty enough. Donnie smiles lopsidedly at that.]
Well I guess I can suffer through that.
[A blatant lie since it's been well-established that there are plenty of interests they've all shared, movie nights and skateboarding among them.
Truthfully it would be good to get him to take a break from all the things he's been amassing to work on, not that it's something Donnie realizes until he's doing things aside from work. It's funny how easily he can forget he likes having fun for all the boasting he does about his brain.]
[Donnie may forget, but Leo won’t. He knows Donnie likes goofing off with the rest of them, even if he wants to act like he doesn’t have time.
Getting a safe place for themselves and studying the Confluence are both important, but he’s not going to let Donnie work himself to the bone over it.]
Speaking of, I think we earned ourselves some couch potato time with our pizza tonight. [He stretches.] I’ll even be nice and let you pick this time.
[Leo heads him off on any scavenging plans for the night...well, there's always afterwards. But Donnie grins at the "generous" offer. Anyway, who's he to snub pizza and movie night?]
[Maybe without Raph falling asleep or Mikey to fight with over the JJ helmet he'll actually pay attention all the way through this time. Or not. He's not as big of a fan of the musical numbers in Pluto Vacation IV as Donnie and April are.]
So sweet of you. [Said very deadpan!] But alright, let's get our pizza and get home.

Leo rolls his eyes, but he doesn't push the issue.]
Once we make you this lab you'll never come out... Just give me proof of life sometimes, huh?
[Shoulder bump!]

[He says this solemnly, although it does make him pause a moment.
After all, it would be pretty dumb to be here and leave Leo still feeling like nothing's changed from the past several months he's been on his own.
...ugh, he hates this feeling that is probably guilt that he otherwise has no previous experience of whatsoever.]
...but in the event that I might lose track of the time- which I never do- [lies] -you can just tell me or something.

Behold Leo: giant sap at heart.]

Jupiter Jim's Pluto Vacation IV??
no subject
[It's actually no surprise at all that this is his choice but he has to razz him for his very incorrect Jupiter Jim opinions anyway.]

No takebacks!

Okay... but next time we're watching Jupiter Jim Sails the Seven Galaxies!

I am willing to allow for that concession.
