...perhaps I miss the old routine a bit much. This new one, while nice and cozy, makes only for a decent vacation. Yes, even despite the odd happenstances here and there. It is too...boring.

[He pauses. He's complaining. And he realizes he's turned the communicator without much thinking about it. He was past due for an update anyway, before he discovered for himself just what sort of energy the device packed, and had been thinking about it before he started in on the complaints of this place. Ah well.]

Boring. Listen to me--complaining like some sort of youngster who has nothing better than to get into trouble every day. I converse much too often with giovani here and start to reminiscence on my old lifestyle as if I could get away with what I used to.

[He sighs.] I am getting old. When you start saying 'I'm getting too old for this' it is well past time you are too old for...things.

...Ugh. Now I'm using circular arguments and boring unto death those silly enough to listen to these devices.

[...]

Though I can't help but to miss the action back home. Not just the routine... but the purpose. What purpose is there here?

My purpose here is to help people, rebuild what I can, and be there for my family. And with what time I have left.. well, I make good use of that, too!

[He doesn't even have to think about it. Busy as a beaver, this one!]

It sounds like you really need to find something to do, Mr. Auditore. There's plenty here that needs to be done... it just might not be the type of work you'd like to do.

...I suppose I just needed a reminder of that.

I have plenty to keep myself occupied, Donatello. It is just...not the same. Do you understand?

[A chuckle.]

I do understand. I don't have as much to work with here as I do back home, so it.. isn't as intellectually stimulating in some ways. And it isn't home, and Master Splinter isn't here.

But there's a lot of new people to meet and some are smarter than me! It's pretty exciting.

I am glad for you.

[But he is no less better off than before.]

[A pause, and then Don grows a bit quieter for a moment.]

... Sorry, I tend to run my mouth off sometimes. ... If there's anything I can do to help, you'll let me know, right?

It is fine. I will.
