[It's been a long while since Leo's had to give Raph a boost - he's heavier than he remembers (or maybe it's the lingering nausea in his gut making him weak), and takes a second longer than Leo had anticipated to boost him up into the tunnel's opening. By the time his brother slinks inside and tries to turn himself around with the sounds of scraping shell, Leonardo finds himself outlined in the glow of the kedans' lanterns.]
[Raph's hand suddenly flies down from the opening; all Leo has to do is make a jump and grab it. He reaches up, leg muscles coiling as he readies to leap -]
[- but instead he finds himself dodging backwards, away from the thrown claw hammer that comes sailing between them. Leo's gaze whips towards the mob of kedan - just well-meaning civilians, stupidly loyal to their awful ruler, dammit -]
[No time. Leonardo glances back at Raphael, face grim.]
Go! I'll meet you back on the surface!
[And without waiting for a response, he turns on his heel down the tunnel, disappearing into the darkness.]
