<div class="floatleft">(http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/350/0/6/april_by_jennyverse-d8a4qi1.jpg)</div><br/>April approached Raph, though halting her slowing steps when he'd snapped at her right off the bat. She could tell he was upset and not just about what had happened a few moments ago, with the ladder near the two and the manhole above, April was just glad to catch him before he vanished into the night. April's hands took to her chest as if displaying a great deal of concern for Raphael's state of mind, stepping towards him every so slowly as he explained himself to her. April was a good medium between the turtles when the brother's/sister's didn't get along, Splinter herself could attest to her devotion and kindness in binding them together.<br/><br/><strong>"It's all right Raph, no harm done..."</strong><br/><br/>As Raphael took a position, somewhat facing away from April in shame and leaning against the wall. She'd felt bad for him as her features displayed nothing but worry and concern for a friend. He'd hear her footsteps, slow and quiet before they stopped beside him. Gently, April placed her hand upon his green-skin shoulder and rubbed softly to not only calm him but to reassure his place in his family. With a gentle almost sensual tone of voice.<br/><br/><strong>"Heyyyy..... Don't talk like that. Everyone cares about you Raph, even Leo. When times get tough you guys always bind together, you're a family who sticks it out no matter what. Everyone has their draw backs Raph, doesn't mean we don't care and love you..."</strong>
