"Ha-ha yeah no, I don't want to touch that place with a thirty-foot pole," Donnie said, the exaggerated smile flattening in an instant.
He stroked his chin as he thought about what Leo said. It was true enough, and to be fair he really still didn't quite have an understanding of all the mystic stuff they had access to. He hadn't even completely tapped into his own ninpō on that planet, but he knew that he'd felt Leo then, had reached out. That much made more sense now that he was connected with his brothers.
Frowning as he tried to puzzle things out, Donnie nudged his goggles down to have a look at the brooch Leo had, wincing as he quickly shoved them back up. He really had to figure out a way to tweak the settings when potentially viewing something at more powerful magic levels than the norm, otherwise he'd end up blinding himself.
"I mean... I'm hardly the expert on mystic anything," he said as he rubbed at his eyes. "Maybe ask someone who is?"
Donnie hesitated then at the question, shoulders hitching just a touch.
"...I think it was my fault." He grimaced. "Not that I knew what it was going to do," he hurriedly added on. "I just- I panicked. And then it said it could help if I opened it, and I just thought of all the times you were there, protecting us..."
