[It's more of a quiet laugh, nothing super boisterous. But he takes both the potion bottles offered and sighs looking at them, feeling them pulse with his own ninpo, and the blue edges surrounding Donnie and Hunter.]
You guys found the stuff I put out. Good. [Gonna start downing one of them. The burn scars start gradually healing over with the first one.] I did what I could before he cut me off from everything.
You know how nosy I can be. [Sometimes being nosy is a strength!!!]
[But really, Donnie plans to stay right here, even if it puts him more in the center of the group hug than he usually wants. Nothing dangerous is coming near twin until everything is settled.]
[ Doublestrike of having encouragement turned into joke and being the guy who was too polite to go digging around in the brainspace for helpful hints. Oops.
But this is what teamwork is all about, really. Having people who cover your blind spots and do what you can't or, possibly, won't.
Raph is keeping his rightful place as the careful outside layer of group hugging. What if family and friends... all in arms? This turtle dares to find out. It's also a handy spot to keep an eye out just in case atomizing Belos once was not enough. ]
[He's in the center of this little hug pile, just holding on to that last ninpotion he's got in his hand. But he's relieved, and that feeling is all around them. Relieved and grateful, though he'd never say it out loud right now.
(Even if he feels that little blip from Raph, trying to smooth it over with equal measures affection and reassurance. It's just how he copes, something horrible was just happening for countless days to him, he just has to process-)]
[ Atomizing Belos seems to have been enough; there's no sudden sneak attack or anything. Hunter laughs a little at hugging AND being hugged at the same time. ]

You helped a lot. What do you need from us now?
Re: THE PIT
We found them. Yeah. Of course we did.
I'm glad you managed to do that.

And you guys did most of the work.
...It's.... Really good seeing you guys.
Re: THE PIT
It was a group effort. [Tell him he's wrong, Leo. TRY IT.]
[But...]
[He can feel it now. That lowkey anxiety that had refused to leave him for days finally unravels. This is Leo. Things are right again.]

Are - are we ready to wake up then?
