I finished season 1 of tottmnt on netflix

I might try writing for it like, without the annoying

namedrop some famous people I don’t give a shit about or other references to something (the 3 Akira mentions on one of the episodes sort of got on my nerves…)

I’ll probably stick with mikey, donnie, or raphael because I don’t want to tap on the glass with how most people feel about leonardo’s crush on april (like I have personal reasons why I WON’T write for 2012’s iteration and please don’t pester me about it)

I might make a new pinned post later in this month if people want requests for this iteration as well

Holiday Themed Oneshot - Putting a Star on a Christmas Tree (separate)

A/N: I mostly had this idea recommended to me from someone on wattpad [close to a previous year or two, I don't really remember] (they're no longer in the tmnt fandom but, I still greatly appreciated their help when I struggled with finishing my second x reader oneshot book.)

No warnings to this since its just fluff and an established relationship with the turtle of your choice

Midnight Glow

You held an instruction manual to Donnie's spare tech bo and tried to follow said steps. Adjusting the device as a makeshift weight to the ladder, hoping that it wouldn't tip over.

"I would advise against that if you want to spend the rest of the holidays with a potential injury. And possibly into the new year with how the human body doesn't heal overnight."

"Could you at least hold the ladder since you don't seem bothered by the winter cold?"

Donnie ignored your slightly annoyed remark and held your waist as small neon bright purple rockets lifted both of you off the ground. His left hand grabbed the star on top of the ladder and carefully placed it in your hands. Then placing his chin above your head.

"Does that solve your predicament of finally placing the star piece ornament on top of the christmas tree... I just barely woke up because you almost snuck off with one of my emergency tech bo without-

The star decoration illuminated the festive tree and the handmade trinkets, he and the rest of the turtle fam made from yesterday's unexpected snowed in event. His eyes slowly widen at your well made accessory beside his rushed attempt at one.

"Not my fault that you fell asleep early because you didn't charge your heater ahead of time. Plus, I wanted to see if the star piece really had colorful auras since it was from the Hidden City. Despite losing half my money to that and getting your surprise santa gift..."

You felt Donnie hid his face on to the back of your neck but, still squeezing you tight as both of your feet reached the ground floor.

"You still stole one of my inventions without my permission but, I'll let it pass because you made an effort to bring an instruction manual."

"I might need your assistance to make a few simple ones because its a headache trying to explain some to the dumb dumbs."

You slightly adjusted out of his grasp to kiss his lips as part of the deal then letting him holding you again.

The following afternoon, he still clinged to your side claiming how his heater suddenly has a faulty battery and added that to the endless list of assistant duties. You managed to sneak a picture of him taking a nap on your shoulder while you two made a trip for a replacement battery.

Last Minute Evening

Leo caught the star's piece ornament handle by the teeth as he spotted one of his portals near the kitchen ceiling. Seeing you distract Raph who was holding a few holiday decorations and groceries. The red slider turtle then focusing on taking hold of the nearby ladder and placing the last piece on the christmas tree.

Just as Leo was about to breath a sigh of relief, he winced accidentally tasting the leftover glitter from the decoration. Causing him to lose his balance on the last three steps of the ladder. You quickly rushed over to the sudden noise as the blue hero gave a thumbs up despite a small bruise forming by his ankle.

"All that matters is that we finally finished decorating the tree!"

"Close to 2 hours because a certain turtle wanted to poke fun on his least favorite Jupiter Jim movie..."

Leo hopped to the living room couch and took out the first aid kit underneath the chair.

"You barely saw half of the movie while sorting through the boxes. I still did my fair share getting the blue ornaments up."

You helped holding his leg by the couch's arm as he tied the long bandage wrap over the bruise.

"If we get stuck again to decorate next year's christmas tree, would you actually be more interested if its a Jupiter Jim themed or Lou Jitsu one?"

"Wait, is that actually a thing that exists?!"

You immediately blushed the instant he held your face, too excited at the mere thought of making that idea into a reality.

"N-not that I know of but, I'm not doing it if you gonna pull another last minute lazy Leo moment or expect me to distract Raph again."

Leo noticed you lightly pulling his forearms down with a blushed face. However, he still kept a firm yet gentle hold by your chin with a sincere grin on his face.

"Then I guess I have to be more serious to get what I want..."

After a few minutes, you were a bit lightheaded from his forehead kiss as both of you helped Raph with another holiday chore.

But...

"Hey (Y/N), why do you have glitter on your forehead-"

The red slider turtle ran past his two younger brothers carrying a bunch of rolled up wrapping paper. And you immediately running after him while Donnie was the only one with no worried reaction.

Afternoon Decorating

Raph steadied his breathing while his larger bright red form acted as a ladder while you set the last few decorations on the christmas tree. He hasn't tried this sort of trust exercise with you and can feel his focus slipping with the amount of worry inside his mind. (potentially causing another chasm on his forehead.)

His shoulders eventually relaxed as you placed the star safely and the other Raph mimicking the same movements as well.

Once you reached the ground floor, both Raphs blushed pink from your surprise thank you kiss on to the transparent figure's face.

"I wanted to try a spell from a book I snuck into Donnie's library card tag. And how much do you think it will cost if I want to keep it for myself?"

The alligator snapping turtle shook his head but, lightly chuckled at your idea.

"Guess Raph has to keep a closer eye on (Y/N), the next time they hide a smile or crossing their fingers behind their back."

Raph bridal carrying his significant other and returning a bunny kiss back at them.

"Boo, you're no fun~"

Early Morning Furnishing

You barely kept your eyes open while being under Mikey's fluffy pajama jacket over his shell. And normally you would squint because of the star and its bright lights but, you had enough energy to be in awe of the decorated tree, now shining more because of the box shell turtle's overly optimistic personality. As he greeted you with a kiss to your now blushing face.

"Sorry for the extremely early wake up call but, I thought it would be a nice change of pace to see the tree before the morning sun arrived."

You held onto his arm with a yawn, nuzzling close to his cold-blooded temperature.

"It does look sort of pretty but, please don't do this all the time. I'm not exactly a morning person..."

"I could make it up to you, a souffle pancake just for sweet ol' (Y/N)!"

You smiled wrapping his jacket around the both of you.

"I almost feel spoiled getting the breakfast in bed treatment any time I sleep over here."

"You're cute when you do it! I mostly get some whines from two turtles who know how to cook but, chose to be stubborn in the most petty way possible."

You kissed Mikey's beak before your face landed on his pillow.

"I guess I got very lucky dating a patient turtle..."

Mikey blushed as he tucked you into his blanket. A one lovesick sigh at your sleeping form before he heads out of his room to make the family breakfast.

Misc mini-oneshot 1 (Mainly platonic)

Warnings: None

A/N: I didn't make any edits so if some of the dialogue feels wonky (I had to deal with some annoying real life stuff which sort of influenced to writing this)

This is probably shorter than what I usually write so, I don't want to jinx myself with other stuff while I'm busy with classes

The three turtles hovered over the softshell turtle's shoulders as Donnie looked over (Y/N)'s new phone and the phone case covering it.

"For something that's supposed to protect the phone, Raph doesn't get why it has to be close to 50 bucks..."

"Its mainly because of the phone case, also acting as a charging system for some wireless ports."

"I still don't believe its quote on quote 'made of recyclable material' from what the packaging box says."

Donnie hands back your phone to you as you sighed.

"I kind of got rushed to pick a case because apparently there's also a difference between the regular and pro versions."

"I didn't want to stick with a bland basic color one but, the other options were either really tacky stuff. Or just random flower decorations."

"I think the flowers look really nice!"

"We could surprise you with a different phone case for your birthday!"

You smiled back at Mikey as his brothers were slightly humored at the idea.

"No offense, still insane that you went a week and four days only using it for assignments."

"And when you spent an entire Sunday waiting on a replacement battery from the store. Only for it to be a waste of time, realizing how old the phone really is."

You winced looking at the new phone just as Raph lightly smacked Leo's forehead from his comment.

"The old phone was a gift from one of my aunts but, since it takes like an hour to get there. Including her being busy with work, where it took until this Monday where she finally got the transfer pin..."

"I don't want to drive the same bad luck at Donnie."

"I dunno you were pretty lucky that your teacher got your email about the sudden situation. And she didn't mind the small updates in case the phone battery got in the way of your assignments."

"Also you got to see an old favorite character of yours from an unexpecting place regarding this year's halloween theme."

"Donnie would have gone into mad scientist mode if he got stuck with the situation you were in."

Donnie furrowed his brows at the box shell turtle in annoyance as you quickly changed the subject.

"Part of me was kind of stubborn not wanting to start fresh with the new phone."

"Like I was realizing how much I saved a lot of goofy photos of stuff I like and eventually..."

"The good times we have hanging out together."

"I might have gone on my parents' nerves about it but, I don't regret making that decision. Even if it felt like a witch cursed me with the worst tech issues."

Gentle smiles brightened the lair as Donnie scoffed.

"A cybernetic witch is nothing compared to my superb tech ninpo!"

"She could not handle the arsensal of various weapons aimed at her or making the worst mistake of picking on (Y/N)!"

"Mikey was right about the mad scientist part, just under a different context."

Donnie then proceeded to chase after his siblings as Raph saw a glance of your phone's screen.

The alligator snapping turtle grinning at the same photo that finally made you part of their chaotic friend group. Almost squished together in a group hug with April but, you hugging back at them.

[sealofarchives]

I might be late with a halloween themed oneshot because

I had to deal with tech phone problems almost halfway through this month so

hopefully around thanksgiving break I‘ll be in a better mood to write

[sealofarchives]

idk why but I really can’t think of anything new for x reader prompts (like my mind is just blank trying to think of ideas)

I don’t want to annoy the tags with this so I might send these kind of updates during the middle of the month

[sealofarchives]

Could you do a headcanon of the Rottmnt Leo of how he would react when he realizes he is in love with the reader? (neutral gender)

Headcanon/Oneshot: The slow realization of Leo falling in love with the reader. (Requested prompt)

A/N: Accidentally went with a slight oneshot but, hopefully this has what the request is looking for.

Insomnia won another night as Leo gave up trying to stick to a normal sleep schedule. Now scrolling on his phone bored from the lack of funny videos on youtube. And decided to try and organize the photos he saved on his device. Until he found a few photos of you two together.

Going backward from the most recent picture and then eventually. Seeing the first photo of you with him.

You weren't really one for photos so... Your face had a bit of trying to smile like what you usually do at awkward family gatherings. But, still had fun around this self confident red slider turtle.

A digital memento of the white lie of

"I was supposed to check out this place ahead of time but..."

"Naaaah, where's the fun in that!"

"Might as well hang out with (Y/N) for a bit so it doesn't seem like a boring escort mission."

His focus now taking mental notes at the later pictures where.

You felt comfortable enough to speak up about your personal space and sometimes not in the mood for a hug. Which he, Raph, and Mikey are guilty of giving surprise affection and very much took the issue in a serious manner.

Resulting in you sometimes out of your comfort zone and taking the lead when something has your full attention. The pictures almost being subtle examples where you can finally be yourself.

Memories of a safe and mutual trust built between you and the turtles' small friend group.

Even joining in on some goofy poses that he can't help but, tease you about it on some random night out.

His heartbeat almost stopped at a past video where he surprised you with a plushie of your favorite character for your birthday.

.

..

...

He saw himself blushing being pulled into your bear hug that almost choked him out of breath. While Donnie recorded the said video as the softshell turtle snickered at his brother's obvious sign of a crush. Leo gave a light glare at his brother until seeing the sweetest smile on your face. The video ending just as the blush deepen close to spreading acrossing his light blue mask.

He remembered how Donnie immediately went with a dating survey. The what type of person you date icebreaker. And a bit of payback of Leo stealing the second slice of your birthday cake.

"Totally not taking notes for your potential future spouse."

Leo facepalmed how much he had to hide any bit of jealousy to avoid ruining your special day. But, it stung hearing you laugh at Donnie's idea and going along with it. Thinking of it as a fun what if game.

Since you almost give the same attention to him. His snarky attitude is rarely at you with how often you're never bored by his routine techno babble. Along with how much patience you have. Dealing with two turtles who deny having some ego problems.

Leo lazily put his phone away on top of his bed.

With a slow sigh to relax his nerves, he replaces his sleep mask with a fresh light blue mask and stood up to wear a dull blue hoodie.

Holding one of this signature swords as he opens up a light blue portal.

("Sorry Donnie but, I'm not into the idea of sharing (Y/N) with you.")

("I feel more at ease with them by my side...")

("Even if I don't have the words for a proper heartfelt confession...")

("I know they can help with me with that.")

Leo held onto to his phone staring at the new phone wallpaper.

Just the two of you. Almost posed together like a couple while attempting to stay focus for a boring grocery shopping list.

He shook off the embarrassing feeling and will pick a different one later but, for now.

The instant text message reply of you still being awake at these late hours gave him another push to ask you out on an actual date. As he jumped through the portal to your room with no hesitation.

[sealofarchives]

Is it Too Late?

It was the monthly movie night as a break from the usual routine.

The softshell turtle would usually expect your arrival, looking over his shoulder, on whatever work in progress invention he was working on.

However, by the time you and the others were waiting for the pizza to arrive.

You didn't sit near him. Mostly across from him as you listened to one of his brothers. Talking about something that happened earlier in the day.

And most of the interactions you gave to him were just a smile. A different one he wasn't used to.

You might have been true to your word with giving him space.

Since he was surprised that you wanted to ask him out on a date last Saturday.

It might have been that same smile that appeared when he rejected your feelings.

.

..

...

Saying how you weren't his type but, still appreciated your company nonetheless.

It almost felt insulting that he got to eat his favorite pizza. While you try to eat a fresh slice despite your broken heart hiding those crushed feelings.

The Jupiter Jim movie playing in the background just felt like a white noise as you tried to seem interested in the movie. But after the first movie was done, Donnie overheard a conversation between you and Leo.

"Hey Leo, can you portal me home?"

"Something came up so I can't really stick around for the rest of the movie night."

"Sure but, kind of missing out on Donnie fanboying on the next movie because."

"We would have sneaked away to let you two lovebirds have that special moment."

"Those words from Mikey and Raph because you saw how they panicked. Trying not to spoil their plan out in the open."

Donnie felt horrible seeing you lightly tug the shoulder straps of your backpack, that was intended for the movie night sleepover.

You still kept up the facade as you politely smiled back at Leo. Slowly heading towards the light blue portal.

"You usually avoid these sort of plans. What changed your mind about it?"

Leo pretended to stretch his arms but, still grinned at you.

"With someone like Kendra being his type, its not gonna last long."

"You're the exact opposite and I mean that in a good way."

"You're like a personal cheerleader for him."

You were inches away from the portal. Stopping your steps close to tears in your eyes. But, held back trying not to crack under pressure.

"Guess I have to be careful with any of your matchmaking ideas."

After hearing you two go your separate ways for the night, Donnie's shell lightly hit the wall as he sat down. Horrified at the thought of his brothers eventually finding out that he broke your heart. Or attempting to rebuilt that friendship you had with him.

finally recovered from co/vid so next week I should have some prompts ready!!!

[sealofarchives]

turns out I got tested positive for co/vid so…

writing is on hold until I make a full recovery…

I’m just mad as hell at the person who got my brother sick because if you cared more about your job, wear the right type of mask and stick to it (even if there’s a heat wave)

like jfc pretend to care about other peoples’ well-being and not the usual last minute bullshit >:[

[sealofarchives]

accidentally got sick because someone from my brother's program probably didn't bother to wear a mask soooo...

there might not be another update until I'm feeling better...

Probably not gonna update this week due to an appointment tomorrow but, idk hopefully while I’m waiting I can think of some ideas so I just don’t do a once a month headcanon/oneshot on this blog…

A different version of the silly post I made for this month’s splatfest (read more with the original post)

[sealofarchives]

Beach/Pool Headcanon Mini-scenario

A/N: Another one of the wip drafts. idk I want to go out but the heat wave is like nah TT A TT

Warnings: some mention of suggestive scenes (more towards light teasing fluff so get your head out of the gutter >:[)

Donnie

He'll be in slight denial that he doesn't need your help with his unfortunate fear towards beach balls but...

- He will at least cling on to you once or twice during the trip. (especially when some group of kids accidentally toss the ball near him)

Has a separate battle shell mainly as an extra beverage storage space. (he did lie about having extra ice during that one man vs sewer episode from one of his other battle shells so... He probably made this one as another bored invention idea until some heat waves finally gave a good purpose for it)

- He'll still ask for something in return so just be aware of that, if you really want a cool drink from him. Just be glad he's somewhat nicer to you and April because, there were a few times where the power slowly got to his head during a heat wave where the air conditioner was broken for a few weeks...

He will definitely bug you about putting on sunscreen. (whether or not, you already had some before the road trip started)

- But the moment he sees you struggling to put some on your back, he'll silently help you despite his discomfort with the lotion's greasy texture. And his curiosity gets the best of him, briefly catching sight of your bare chest once you put your shirt back on. As he uses a towel to get rid of the leftover sunscreen on his hands.

"I don't mind you looking respectfully~"

"Please do not suggest such thoughts to my mind. Since you forgot to apply said sunscreen before meeting up at the rendezvous point..."

Sometimes observes marine life by the beach. Following the usual guidelines at a safe distance but...

- Very much glares at seagulls. One of them will always steal some french fry or other piece of food from him. You pretty much have to hold him back before he starts causing a scene at these feathery fiends.

Definitely takes naps on one of his float rings or inflatable pool float rafts.

- His brothers will always try to stack something on his shell before he wakes up from the giggling or the weight annoying him in his sleep.

He doesn't mind either the pool or beach and will probably list the pro vs cons towards those two.

- However, if he has to be the one to balance out a potential tiebreaker. He slightly leans in favor of pools. Easier to sneak into at night and replace the security footage with his edited video of no one in sight during the time frame you guys were there.

Leo

One of the few times, he'll help Donnie with planning ahead for the beach and/or pool trip, because he's excited to go there.

- A little more towards the beach than the pool. There's more sights to see near the beach and while he likes the lazy approach of the pool. The beach just fits that part of the aquatic turtle in him.

If everyone ends up lounging around the pool, he'll easily get bored of it.

- He'll likely bother you first so his brothers can enjoy the chill vibe. Before Raph gets the uneasy feeling, you somehow got wrapped up in some part of the red slider turtle's scheme for a playful prank.

Slightly decent at beach volleyball but, still not the greatest at surfing.

- Sometimes includes mystic powers into beach volleyball but, only when the coast is clear. (Often being around the late hours which is very rare.) Doesn't practice surfing as much he wants to and will often have some seaweed on his head after crashing from a bad wave. A few bumps and bruises on his knees when he's not that careful. And sort of gives up after a few hours before focusing his attention on something else.

Likes to pretend he's your personal tour guide. Knowing the ideal places for the best time, well spent for these summer getaways.

- He tries to keep note of the upcoming events so he can surprise you with something different to end the night with. Granted he might slip up on some details since he's a bit busy with the leader duty so... Its one of the rare instances he's nervous around you.

Sometimes a little thief when it comes to your food. Sneaking a bite from a sandwich you've been craving for in a long while or swapping a bag of chips he's almost done with yours that you just opened.

- Used to take a few sips from your drink. Until Donnie had a smirk explaining...

"A big shame that's your first kiss with (Y/N)."

"You could have easily gone with the classic kiss on the lips but..."

"Nardo decided to settle with an indirect kiss-"

The red slider turtle sat in the turtle taxi with a 30 minute timeout. No regrets or shame yeeting a beach ball via a surprise portal behind his softshell turtle brother.

Has a really bad habit staring at you whenever you're in awe at some event taking place during sunset or the night sky being generous enough to send a cool gentle breeze in your direction.

- You literally take his breath away sometimes that it can almost feel suffocating, when its just the two of you together. In full denial while having a blushing face saying nothing's wrong. Really hoping you don't notice how much these moments really mean to him.

Raph

Tries to end the evening with a beach bonfire with just the two of you. Often with him starting a friendly competition of who could gather the most driftwood. So he doesn't accidentally stumble on his words in an attempt to ask you out on an actual date.

- Sadly, the moment doesn't last that long with his family surprising you guys with s'mores and other treats before Raph lets you win.

However, Leo sometimes helps out through a subtle manner so he's a bit of a wingman to Raph. So Raph's slightly getting better at this plan.

Sometimes leans into you because of your body heat and the hot weather making him a bit sleepy.

- Regardless how you feel about your skin, he still thinks its really soft.

He almost wanted to throw Leo or Donnie into ocean because... According to Mikey, one of them got a photo of Raph's face almost a little too close to resting beside your thighs. You still reassured him not to worry about it. Especially getting back at those two with a little prank you have been wanting to try on them.

Whether you're short or tall, Raph wants to make sure you get the best seat in the house. So you're sometimes sitting on his shoulder to get a better view.

- He still asks if some of the spiky scales are hurting you but, you usually use your hoodie/jacket or spare towel as extra protection to avoid hurting his feelings.

Very much sneaks up on his brothers while pretending to be shark whenever he's swimming (both pool or beach)

- Almost got in trouble when Mikey's scream broke one of the glass windows at an indoor pool place. So he only wears the fake fin on his shell unless they're sneaking to a pool at night.

Really likes the crunch sound from biting into crabs and/or lobster shells.

- While his wallet will take a hit, the alligator snapping turtle is just very happy to enjoy the once a year surf and turf restaurant experience.

And very much unaware of his brothers and Splinter's expressions, with a tiny bit of worry how strong the red one's bite really is.

More likely to pick the beach and might be slightly indifferent to pools.

- He can sort of tolerate the overcrowded energy from the beach but, the pool might be more unbearable if the place can't make room for him. Similar to Donnie's choice in favor of the pool, its better at night especially when surveillance cameras are temporary on hold by the purple turtle's tech.

Mikey

Given how he's the shortest of his siblings, he prefers to stick by the shallow waters of the pool.

- And a few horror themed movie nights along with some documentary videos of his turtle counterpart not being the best at swimming, kind of made him afraid towards the idea of swim training at night.

Likes to wander around seaside themed shops for potential souvenirs.

- He tries to limit himself to just one. Or at least something that captures the vibes of the trip. And when he can't, he's more content to put that idea for the next art project.

Instantly picks the beach over the pool. He still doesn't mind either of the two options but, he can probably name more fun ideas close to the beach.

- Especially more excited by new or returning events near the boardwalk.

Even if you're wearing the most tackiest or boring swimsuit, Mikey will still give a heartfelt compliment to your beach/pool outfit.

- Although he'll really blush more if you go all out with all sorts of vibrant orange colors.

Always likes to get you snacks or a few drinks by the boardwalk.

- He might have said a few white lies to get a discount for couple's only ones but, all that matters to him is that you're having a good time!

Since you gave the okay that he can draw you sometimes, the beach setting is where he truly shines in his artistic vision.

- But, there's been times where he's hesitant to show his sketchbook to you. Often blushing at you when the sunset gives the perfect angle showcasing your beauty. Or his brothers giving him embarrassing feedback mostly at his work in progress sketch, not at you.

Rise!Dredge AU sketches #2

I looked up a few references towards fishing waders gear. I want to focus more on getting an idea how these will look on the guys. So I left out the beanie hats from the first sketch. For the sake of it being easy to draw. Also forgot to draw Leo's bandana mask but, I rarely draw him without it so... I just left it as it is lol.

So for now, I might just stick with this because this recent heat wave is a struggle trying to draw anything in this weather ; _ ;

Extra details in the read more

I started with Raph first because I wanted to get better at drawing the rain hat on him and the clothing also fishing rain gear themed with his fishing wader. He still has his left hand, I just didn't know what hand pose to draw and just left it as a curled up fist hiding him lol.

Leo almost has the same outfit as the in-game fisherman you play as. But, small details like the cloaking brooch with the Hamato insignia and a triangle shaped lucky rock by his belt. The lucky rock might be changed to something else once I get used to drawing this outfit and the others. So its just there as a placeholder.

I wasn't sure how to draw the popped up collar shirt for Donnie and just went for the simple look. Well minus part of his plastron peeking out of his shirt. You know just to keep his bad boy image. And he might not be out in the ocean for too long if his luck for dredging for various materials or aberrations is really bad. Also probably whines about the heat if it really annoys his softshell and scales.

I referenced a bit of his future!self's outfit with the rectangle detail on his fishing waders. And mostly the h-back suspenders still consist of rectangle shapes as well.

He'll still slightly pester Leo and Raph to wear gloves (fishing or decoy) while handling aberration fish. A previous trip where Raph with max panic and a banged up boat left the softshell turtle in a terrible mood while trying sort through storage.

I sort of kept Mikey's outfit simple since his beanie hat (from the 1st sketch) can act as the focal point with the Hamato symbol. However, there are some little details I would like to add in the future. Like the suspender buttons with reference to his paint symbols from the show with the mix of in game paint the Painter npc gives to you from crab pot aberrations.

He used to get pestered by Donnie to wear gloves but, since he sometimes visits the Marrows and Gale Cliffs as a part time cook and delivery boy for food. It doesn't happen as much.
