The longer the lack of response the more antsy Donatello can't help but feel. Why are humans so complicated? Why can't they all be like April? Crazy and completely casual when things get weird?
He carefully lets out the breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding when Dustin starts to speak again, chewing on his lower lip when the other falls silent again, looking like he's going through some kind of internal conflict. Maybe this is more than Donnie's bargained for. Go figure, you're getting excited about tech things and then the guy goes insane.
Which is why he's hesitant to let himself be relieved or excited when Dustin gets around to extending an olive branch. Yep, called it. This time when the guy threatens him, Donatello's more prepared. Kind of. He frowns at Dustin, brows coming down hard as he doesn't take threats very kindly. He's the one with the weapon, after all. He highly doubts that Dustin would be able to find him if he really wanted to hide. Of course it seems pointless to outline all this, and the turtle manages to head himself off before he digs a deeper hole than the one he's unwittingly found himself in.
"All right, all right. Really, I don't know what you're worried about- I just got there," he does feel he has to point out. "Who am I going to tell? Anyway, it's not hard to keep things a secret if no one bothers to ask about it, and unless you've got people specifically trying to dig into your business, I doubt anyone's gonna track me down and demand I spill everything we've talked about."
