Mike is in his element: Surrounded by happy family.
It doesn't matter that he's elbow-deep in dishwater with a stack of plates and flatware nearly taller than he is to his left, his family is here and safe and happy, and that's all that really matters.

"Of course."

Or that he wouldn't understand why I would even ask.

"I know that he would understand the concept. But he can't be beholden or somethin', sayin' yes without meaning to and such."

"I am not questioning that a jot."

Except for how, now that Sallie's thinking about it, isn't she? In worrying about Splinter having some sort of bad reaction to her even bringing up the idea?

That's uncomfortable, she thinks at herself.

"Would you have a problem with it?"

"Is it the," Counting down the reasons, "being from two different worlds, or the two different species, or the ninja versus farmer showdown we are inevitably causing?"

Or a million other things?

And then, faded and gray, is an image of Sallie and Splinter, walking around New York City.

"Only one o' those adversaries gets hot pokers." Perfunctory.

Sallie knows that Mike 'gets' it, for as much as Sallie herself understands wherever the hell this line of thinking has been coming from. But, somehow, Mike became one of the few people that 'gets' the inside of Sallie's head. It's not fair to hope that he can magically translate anything, but that didn't stop part of her brain from hoping he'd be able to do so.

"'Tis what 'tis, I suppose?"
