"Take my scarf. It's cold." The leader blinked twice, confused, stuttering as she leaned closer.

"Are – are you…sure?" Karai slipped off her knitted scarf, placing it around his neck and tucking it in his coat.

"Don't be rude. I offered." Patting her gloved hands along his shoulders, she smiled as his cheeks reddened.

"Wow, Fearless. Gotta have your girlfriend take care of you?" Leonardo glared at the chuckling sibling, regretting letting him come along.

"Come on, Raph," April interrupted, coiling her arm with his. "I thought it was kind of sweet." Raphael irritatingly rolled his eyes, fists shoving in to his pockets.

"Why did we even come to this place? It's freezing!" Grumpily exhaling an annoyed sigh, a puff of air left his mouth.

"It'll snow soon. Don't you want to stick your tongue out to catch them?" The red masked turtle slowly turned his head toward her direction, flabbergasted as wide green eyes gawked.

"What?" The red head pulled away, mitted hands placed firmly on her hips.

"You know what I mean." Raphael groaned, hunching forward to crouch. "It's for fun."

"I wanna go home."

"But, we just got here!"

"My toes are frozen!"

"I'm sure you can manage."

Leonardo and Karai watched as they continued bickering, standing by the dock of Coney Island, waiting. Leo nudged her once April stomped her foot on the snow.

"It won't last long. They always seem to argue over the dumbest things." Karai smirked at him, golden orbs focused as he adjusted his navy colored beanie.

"It's entertaining," she flatly admitted.

"Not when you listen to it all the time." Karai's gaze averted from the heated couple to the iced water, but turned back as the faltering crunching of the snow captured her attention. Leonardo began to walk towards the end of the dock, sitting down for his legs to dangle over the frozen water. Karai soon followed, leaving the duo behind.

Noticing his stern appearance as he locked eyes at the ice, her palm ran over the upper ridges of his carapace before sitting beside him. Leonardo reminisced the days he used to visit, alone, after she vanished from Shredder's lair. He had let her escape, feeling hopeless every day she wasn't found, wondering if she would ever return home. All those late nights of tossing and turning, feeling at fault for not helping her reunite with her father. But at last, Karai was finally home.

"You alright?" He broke out of his thoughts, and nodded.

"Yeah. I was just thinking." The leader tenderly smiled, massive hand reaching out to place on top of hers, before both stared into the gloomy view in front of them. She leaned against him once snowflakes began to descend, making them tilt their head up toward the light grey sky.

"Maybe we should head home. It is getting cold out," Karai whispered, pulling away to stand up. Leonardo took her hand when she offered, holding hands while walking back.

Once returning to where Raphael and April were, they searched around, seeing they weren't there anymore.

"Did they leave without us?" Leo pulled out his T-Phone, ready to speed dial Raph's number, but Karai soon pointed at a set of footprints which lead to a secluded booth a few feet away.

Leonardo tiresomely stepped forward, but stopped as her grip held him in place.

"Let's just go."

"Won't they freeze?" Karai smirked at his worried expression, shaking her head after dragging him away.

"I think they're warm enough to handle it."
