And The Hint Of His Old Smile - Tumblr Posts
1 year ago
![Just the sketch of a head of an old April O‘Neil is saying „Mikey … Please tell me this is not what I think it is …” Below her is a sketch of her smiling daughter saying “Sensei, did I just hear a meow?” Next to them is last Ronin Mikey, who stopped walking and now looks a bit nervous. He is holding three kittens and behind him is another cat.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6ee758da24ce90d99927e8dae9dc76d6/188cf1960b1c530a-a7/s500x750/18fa4b14131d7e810022001364a021e43eef637c.png)
Since some people seemed to be a bit sad about this Ronin doodle with the cat, I had to draw a follow up-

ronin deffo knows all the local stray cat colonies
just kinda keeps an eye on them from afar mostly
but it does get cold in the winters
cue cat smuggling
april grumbles but cant actually be mad
at this tiny tiny glimpse of mikeys old self
and the hint of his old smile
now im just imagining her catching him like chuckling to himself as a kitten plays/bats at his fingers
and she has to stop in her tracks cos that was /mikeys laugh/
quieter than it ever was when they were young
but his none the less
she used to hear it so often
every time she visited the lair
that mischevious giggle
usual followed by some sort of crash
and someone shouting MIKEY
then running footsteps and whooping laughter
its been decades since shes heard it
or anything even close
so for all she may gripe about ronin picking up strays
no… she cant be mad at all
(apologies if anything doesnt line up right ive not finished reading the last ronin comic yet)
(but i love this concept sm)
edit: IT ALSO JUST HIT ME THAT HES SNEAKING IN THREE LIL KITTENS
THREE SPECIFICALLY
THREE LITTLE THINGS COLD AND CRYING AND NEEDING HIM??? OH HE COULD NEVER LEAVE THEM BEHIND
