Rung walks closer moving up to be nearer Donatello and really listen to him. He takes a seat, watching the facial movements and takes in the words he says. Folding his hands in his lap.
"Back during the war, and even the Lost Light. Things could get out of hand at the prickliest impulse." He smiles fondly though. "There was wonderful moments of mundane problems though." He lifts a hand and waves it briefly side to side.
He just has his words to guide and protect, he's forgotten that they can cut to. He smiles softly and for a moment it seems he's starting to see better what he had been missing.
"I don't know if giving advice this moment will help. But perhaps, if anything... I can simply tell you, I've been there and it can feel so helpless." He sighs. He thinks of Whirl briefly and his face deepens in a moment of content, as deranged as he could be... some how Rung was considered a friend...
"I care about you Donatello, and I think that scares me most of all; it lead to me hurting you... because I was selfish and pushed too hard to make you see it my way." His glasses glint a moment as he looks around. "My professional and personal life has always been strange that way." He laughs...
"I will tell you a secret though. I almost ran from this, I almost hoped my ...condition... would make you forget me so that I wouldn't have to face this."
