[BITZZZZZZ]

Argh! [An annoyed mutter]That's the last thing I needed.

[The feed is turned off, so Knux can lock it]

[70% Locked to Don.]

Donatello, I want to talk to you.

Er, of course you can talk to me. What about?

I can lock this up better if you'd like.

[Voice 99% locked from Shredder]

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

In my room.

...Thanks, I couldn't remember your code correctly.

[Voice 99% locked from Shredder]

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

Right, I'll be there in a minute.

It's no problem. Really.

[Voice 99% locked from Shredder] --> [Commentlog]

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

Okay

[When Donatello enters the room he holds his comm up.]

I guess we should take care of this first.

[Commentlog]

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

[Don nods, taking the comm and working on it.]

Better safe than sorry.

[A minute and then he hands it back.]

There you go. ... So what did you want to talk to me about?

[Commentlog]

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

[Knuckles nods and then when he talks he's looking down at his comm, rather than at Don.]

You drugged me.

[Commentlog]

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

[Don blinks at the subject, but on nods as a response.]

... I did. You were in a lot of pain and needed rest, Knuckles. Just some painkillers and some antibiotics. Nothing more than that.

[Commentlog]

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

...

You'll tell me before you give me any more right? Or anything else?

[Commentlog]

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

[Don actually looks... confused.]

Of course. You're capable of giving consent now, so it'd be wrong to do anything without it.

[Because you won't do something extremely stupid so that he'd have to do something without your consent. ... he hopes.]

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

[Trust Issues, Knux has them.]

Right, Of course. Thank you.

[Commentlog]

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

[Don is quiet, trying to figure out why Knuckles asked him that. It was odd, really. He blinks.. and thinks about it for a while.]

... I'm not that kind of person, Knuckles. And besides, I don't know your species that well--why would I risk harming you more by drugging you? Not to mention, doing that sort of thing behind your back... that'd be betraying your trust.

[Commentlog]

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

...I didn't mean it like that.


Sorry.

[Commentlog]

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it.

... Then what did you mean it like? [Don just looks at you with concern.]

[Commentlog]

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

...

I just don't like drugs. [Or Doctors, Or Hospitals, or...]

I didn't mean to suggest you weren't trustworthy.

[Commentlog]

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

... Oh.

[Don looks embarrassed for a moment, and then smiles a little.]

I.. should've figured that out. That's how Leo is. Hates drugs.

[Commentlog]

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

Good to know I'm not the only one...

So what do you do when Leo can't give you the okay?

[Commentlog]

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

[Donatello blinks in surprise and then... rubs the back of his head.]

He's.. never not been able to give me the okay when I've had medication available. Or other people were in control of his care. We're pretty good with handling pain, so it hasn't really come up all that often.

Actually... [He grins softly.] I sometimes suggest painkillers or medication with a second option so that he'll veto the meds but let me do the second. He hasn't figured that out yet.

Re: [Commentlog]

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

[That get's a smirk.]

You do realise that telling me that means you won't be able to use the same trick on me now?

[Commentlog]

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

[A chuckle.]

Yeah, I know. I'll just come up with something else.

[He's joking. Mostly.]
