[ The fact that Donnie does not immediately throw a hissy fit to be fended off is concerning in its own right. Raph is no stranger to what happens when someone pokes that particular bear. Due to having poked it several times in recent history, probably.
It's so cool how this ping of concern only goes more downhill by the second. Like his brother isn't absorbing something. But not in like the "makes it frustrating to try to corral his little brother because his big brain latched onto something four blocks and a left turn away" way, just... a weird way. A something is obviously very wrong way.
The cause for which becomes EVIDENT (when Donnie literally says what the cause is).
So worrying really can take the front seat, its default position, now. Donnie gets his nod and then Raph goes ahead and walks a frenetic little circle around him. Like he will magically find evidence of a way to fix this by punching something into the upper atmosphere. This is cool. This is great. No one wants to panic at all.
When his circuit ends fruitlessly, he stops in front of Donnie again and offers very clear sagely brotherly wisdom. ]
Home. Now.
[ POINTS IN A HOME DIRECTION FOR EMPHASIS.
His vision's on the fritz and Donnie is apparently going deaf, so maybe they just co-limp back to the lair to work on all that before something gets even worse.
And no one leaves home again until they're thirty. Decision pending. ]
