<div class="floatleft">(http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/350/3/b/leo_by_jennyverse-d8a4zeh.jpg)</div>Leonardo blushed as Splinter briefly laughed at his fall to the floor, now wishing that he could fully retreat into his shell as a normal, non-mutated turtles often did whenever they felt threatened. He always hated looking foolish in front of Splinter. Their mother was so beautiful and wise, and he only wanted to do what would make her proud. But sometimes that was difficult to do when his brother and sisters seemed determined to step in it at every turn and get them all into trouble. If it wasn't Donnie nearly blowing the entire power grid for the city with her crazy experiments, it was Raph trying to start a fight with everyone who looked at him the wrong way. And Mikey...oi vey. But at least she didn't laugh in his face for very long; instead covering her muzzle and giggling softly until she calmed down to listen to him.<br/><br/>He expected her to say something harsh and reprimanding as he told her what had happened. It would almost be welcomed, with as tied up in knots as Leo had made himself about this whole thing. But instead, she only rose and walked out of the room. Leo watched her go silently, only becoming more befuddled as she revealed that their training would continue as planned while they spoke further on the matter. "Y-Yes, Sensei." He rose and moved to follow her, pausing for the briefest of instants as she reminded him to remove his shell. He had hoped that she might have forgotten herself. Without his shell on...it would be...difficult to conceal certain things that seemed to be beyond his control. But directly disobeying Splinter was never an option in Leonardo's mind, so he continued walking into the training room.<br/><br/>His eyes widened at the sight of Splinter without her kimono, but he quickly averted his gaze as he removed his shell and placed it aside. The shell did little to hide his masculine form anyway, but without it was impossible not to notice his physique. His body was toned and firm, well-muscled from years of rigorous training as a ninja. He had the kind of build that many would be jealous of, though Leonardo wasn't vain enough to think of his body in that matter. It just seemed natural that he should be this way. Splinter's lithe and graceful form was another matter entirely though. Seeing her without her kimono on only made it more obvious as to how attractive she was. She was mesmerizing. If she only knew how many times Leonardo caught himself thinking about her in a very sexual way. "I'm ready, Mistress Splinter." he said as he stood before her, doing everything he could not to have those very thoughts right now.
