purplexing: (just like we planned)

His smile is almost a smug one, a hint of his usual ego that's been tentatively packed away in the face of a dire situation. "Of course I'm right. There's enough proof of that simply based upon the difference between how you acted before and after that fight just now, and in what you've told me. And you've said so yourself, you don't like it when you're that way, which would make sense because that's not who you are."

The concern that there might ever be someone she knows is a valid one though, and not one Donatello will overlook. He looks a little sick at the possibility that they'd have her 'self-terminate', and the notion that what might happen otherwise would be worse just makes him shiver. So he nods, his face grim, but he's not going to put Li in danger like that.

They head back towards where those they'd been escorting have been left, those who've remained anxiously looking to them once they come back within sight. Some have pressed on, not something Donatello is going to be upset about, and he would have rather they all kept moving although at the same time he can understand why they wouldn't want to. He heads up to start helping the children down from the roof, trying very hard not to look too uncomfortable as some latch onto him. Transporting them back down by flight had not been his intention but it proves to be at least a quicker way to get them off so he can head back up- a double-edged sword as the other kids see this as a much more fun option than climbing down the fire escapes.
