"He doesn't know, you know. Leo, I mean. I didn't tell him anything, and...it's not like he was asking. Well, not before."

His outsides were hurting as much as his insides, and so long as there were no uncomfortable questions he would probably have kept on it until something broke. ... Or Raph came back. Though, admittedly he really wasn't expecting that second one.
