Chapter Text
Raph had always been wary of Draxum, after all, Sheredder, gram-gram… Kraang … it would be a lie if the snapper said he was reconsidering. For the past few days, he's been sleeping in the lair to help them recover, in keeping with the sheepman's words "rewarding for not helping the invasion" and Mikey couldn't be happier!
Rapha still had one foot behind Draxum, always had, but that night, he found himself rethinking what he saw.
Maybe, just maybe, his change was real, he wouldn't go that far to try to trick them, that had been too genuine.
That night changed a lot of Raph's thoughts, or at least made him rethink a lot of things. He then decides, he needed to talk to Barry directly! On an impulse of encouragement he leaves the room and goes to the room where the Baron was.
“Uhn… Barry?” the snapper approached, sitting on the ground next to the goat-man.
"I'm listening" He replied sitting on the couch with his legs crossed reading a newspaper. "Something happened?"
“I wanted to talk to you about yesterday”
"Yesterday?" He raised his brow, looking away from his newspaper and staring at the red turtle “What happened yesterday?”
“Last night with Mikey”
“But what are you….”
The same looks at Raphael amazed, with a deep sigh he closes his eyes putting the newspaper aside and looking at the snapper again.
“How much did you hear?”
"Every word"
Draxum drums his fingers against his leg, wondering what to say from there, I mean, how could he explain that? No one else was supposed to see it.
"Barry."
"Yea?"
“That had been very beautiful”
He flicks his ears towards the older tortoise in surprise without replying. He didn't expect this reaction. Raphael just flashed a big smile and got up putting his hand on the sheep man's shoulder.
"You're really trying to change, that's really good"
Raphael walks away leaving the Baron there to process what happened, he didn't expect anyone else to have seen his lullaby.
