[is about to throw a HISSY. FIT over having his hand knocked away when he's trying to examine his brother but it's weird that raph is being so quiet about it. donnie opens his mouth to argue but then he catches it.
raph's lips are moving. he's definitely speaking, or trying to speak, but he's- there's nothing. not even the sound of his breath, a wheeze, anything to indicate he's having difficulty speaking, up to and including his face which emotes just the same as ever.
is it him? is it donnie, can he not-
donnie snaps his mouth shut and pauses, still hanging onto raphael's wrist; he thinks he can hear environmental noise, the far-off roar and honks of new york of traffic, the buzz of the old lights above them. just to be sure donnie wrenches his goggles aside to snap his fingers right next to his inner ear. he can definitely hear, and judging by the irritated confusion on raphael's face, he doesn't know anything is wrong so he must be able to hear himself.
-right. and maybe he can hear donnie?] Raph, I can't hear what you're saying. Nod if you can hear me still.
