A few minutes later, Raph slowly stood up from the desk, arranging the papers in order.
Jane and the others looked up from what they were doing towards him.
"Monitor duties?" Jane asked, and Raph nodded in reply.
He slowly turned back, only to widen his eyes in surprise. He had wanted to attempt asking Elsie to come off once again, but it seemed like there wasn't going to be any need for that.
Elsie calmly and quietly slept with her head on his shoulder, her shallow breath sending soft ripples to his skin.
He sighed deeply, turning towards the guys on the sofa.
"Can you guys…." He said, but they were both aware of his predicament and were already on their way out of it.
Raph smiled in satisfaction. "Thank you".
He slowly dropped the papers on his desk, walked up to the Couch, sat on it, and calmly released Elsie.
