[The choice of tenses don't go missed, Donnie's expression sobering a touch.
However being offered a chance to actually try out Cal's lightsaber easily banishes that brief cloud.]
Really?
[Donnie gasps eagerly, taking the hilt in hand, making sure to hold it in the right direction, even as he looks the thing over. It feels a little unwieldy to him but that's mostly because he's not accustomed to a sword. Once he feels he's ready to try, the turtle thumbs the lightsaber on, excited as he sees the blade thrum to life. But he can feel the difference, it's so strange, fascinating, even!
Making sure he's nowhere near Cal, he gives it a few swings. Wow, swords are weird to wield, he remembers trying Leo's blades once, back when they were tots and curious about each other's choices. Being so used to a staff, this feels so imbalanced, but Donnie can tell there's something else.]
Weird... It's... I don't know, like... You know with magnets? When they're turned in opposite directions rather than towards each other to attract?
