Leo knows when he's fighting a losing battle; the moment his brother gives that flashing grin, gets that hard glint in his eye, he knows there's no chance in hell Raph is going to let this go. He's as busted as is humanly possible.
Great. Leo also knows his brother, and he knows that the second he lays eyes on Monet, his hackles are going to go up. What she and Leo have been building up to this point has been slow, fragile, and tonight is a milestone. He can't endanger that. Leo loves his brother, but he can be a real pain in the shell when it comes to playing nice with others.
He grits his teeth. "I don't think that's a good idea, Raph."
The words are forced and annoyed; he's not even pretending to bother with his lie anymore. If Raph is going to butt in no matter what he does, at the very least, he's going to make his displeasure clear.
