[Leo puts his hand on his brother's shell, shaking his head. Of course they're not going with him. It's a nice offer, and he's far more willing to trust this man than he had been previously, but it could just never happen.]
[Unlike Raph, Leo doesn't doubt his story - it sounds weird, sure, but they fought a giant white alligator in the sewers once. Humans would be among the least weird things living underground. He's never heard of a community like the Professor is describing, but it sounds kind of nice. Helping each other, staying together, sharing what they have... it sounds like a family. And Leo already has one of those.]
[He smiles again at the Professor, but it doesn't quite reach his eyes. The truth of the matter is that they'll probably never see him again, much less meet his people. Sensei would never allow it. As much as Leonardo is encouraged by the idea of so many kind humans living together, it doesn't mean he wants to pack up and go live with them.]
Thanks for the offer, but... we already have a home. [He pauses, eyes dropping to his hands as they fiddle with the pillow case, then looks up and gives a firm, decisive nod.] That's where we belong.
[Not with humans, however nice. With each other and Sensei. That's all there is to it.]
