[It takes Leo only a second or two to arrive after Raph, his feet splashing just as loudly in the murky water underfoot. He halts next to his brother, his breaths coming in quiet pants, and looks from Raphael to the gray expanse of light filtering through slits in the metal grate overhead.]
[Rain.]
[Leo likes the rain. He doesn't get to see much of it, living underground and all, but he likes the way it completely overtakes the seemingly never-ending sky. He likes the city-sounds, water splitting as it's parted by moving cars, and the tapping of raindrops on asphalt and metal. He likes the different smells, the different sounds. It makes the city seem like a whole different place.]
[Task temporarily forgotten, he looks back at Raph, sending him a small smile. As rarely as he gets to be near topside while it's raining, for his brother this must be like discovering a new country. Even when they used to play near the storm drains, Splinter always came to fetch them almost immediately when it began raining - the risk for flooding was too high.]
