Leo walked into the dojo. He was nervous about talking about this kinda stuff with his sensei. He walked in and saw Master Splinter meditating. Leo quietly walked in and got on his knees next to him. He sat that for a few minutes then spoke up. "Hi sensei," he said quite nervous.

  "Hello Leonardo, how may I help you?" Splinter asked paying the carpet next to him. Leo sat down and was awkwardly quiet for a while but then spoke up.

  "Well umm I know this is a weird question but,mare me and Karai technically, related, like blood, wise?" Leo said trying to sound like it was a general question, not like he liked her. I mean I do. He thought. But wouldn't that be weird for him to know. Master a Splinter arched an eyebrow at first, but then saw the Loe was just simply asking a question, or so it seemed. Then he stroked  his beard in though.

  "No I suppose not, why do you ask? Is this about that crush you used to have on her hmm?" Master Splinter leaned in closer, questioning him. Leo was avoiding eye contact and very slightly blushing. It was clear to Master Splinter now. But Leo felt he had to give him a straight answer.

  "I ...," there was a sigh, " I guess, I just end wanted to make sure it was ok with you or ok at all. But I also wanted to know if I should treat her differently." Leo felt relieved to get that off his chest. It would still be kinda weird. But he liked Karai and couldn't help it.

  Master Splinter sighed considering they where not remotely, or really not at all related, "I guess it is ok." He rose with his cane and toward his room.

  "Really?!" Leo was ecstatic.

  "I see nothing wrong with it. And I trust you. I just hope nothing changes with this trust." Splinter said opening his door.

  "Yes!!! Thank you sensei!!" And Leo ran off to Karai room. Splinter was secretly smiling to himself, thinking of the two.
