~<em>Splinter, with Allie, Fae and Saki on a couch</em>~<br/><br/>Splinter smiled at her answer and his gaze went to Saki without him realizing it. "Then... t... take... good c... care... of S... S... Saki." His words were true and worry shone through in his voice. "D... Don't let...  any... anything b... bad... happen... to him." He looked back at Fae. He was actually asking her a favor. He wanted and needed to know that someone would take care of Saki when he wasn't there. And with John and D around there were sure to be troubles at some point. And he was worried that he wouldn't be able to be there for Saki.<br/><br/>Mostly because if he worked John would watch over him as a hawk, and Saki would probably be at work then too. He winched at the thought of Saki with someone else, but rationally he understood that he couldn't get in the way of his work. And he himself couldn't really raise his voice to much. If he lost this job he would've no where to go. All he knew, his life, was inside these walls.<br/><br/>His eyes caught Saki again, knowing that he had probably heard what he said. He felt guilty for it, but it couldn't be helped. They both knew there was bound to be trouble if they got to close. Even though that was all he wanted.
