At Nico giving their names, Jack looked over at the turtle on the floor, his eyes going wide with surprise and then with absolute delight.
There was no way you were a Guardian that played with kids without picking up on the fact that the Ninja Turtles were pretty much some of the most beloved children's characters of all time. What had it been, the late eighties, most of the nineties, and another series in the 00's? And he was pretty sure he'd heard some kids gushing about a newer series. And a movie.
Three decades. Three whole decades, barring a few gaps.
He laughed a belly laugh, the kind of laugh that was borne of delight and happy surprise, when something unexpectedly wonderful came along.
He bit his knuckle for a moment, as if he couldn't hold his delight in, then exclaimed, "Ninja Turtles!" He turned to Bunny. "I should've seen this one coming." He turned back to Raph. "Of all characters everywhere of course it'd be a few of you guys. I'm surprised we didn't get the full set! But then you two were always the fan favorites."
Leaping into the air and bouncing off the back of the couch he landed next to Raph, gently helping him up.
"Here, let's get you to the couch, big guy, that'll be more comfortable. Dipper, can you go wrangle his brother?"
