"Dude, I get it," he promises. "One time, there was this baby bunny in my parents' backyard, and I'd decided to keep him and name him Raphael- shut up, I was into TMNT- and I went outside to give him a carrot, and a freaking hawk swooped down and took him. Scarred me for life." A nod, like he'd made his point. "We'll make sure Barney is top of the food chain when he goes back."
