Like you two haven't always been the hardest ones to please? [Granted, when the competition is Raph that isn't actually saying much.
Mikey steps aside just enough to make room for Leo at the counter. He might be too much of a kitchen control freak to let Leo do more than follow his instructions, but the thought is (more or less) there. The dad-like mannerisms are a little weird, sure, but it feels like an improvement over their first interaction where Leo was calling him kid and distancing himself. Being allowed to help, even in such a small way? That's something Mikey can work with.]
I'm keeping it simple for now since I bet Old Donnie is even pickier than ever.
[Years of the Apocalypse Diet would do that to anyone.]
Miguel, I can't help if we have refined tastes naturally. I know you can keep up, though. [Enough time to settle, and have more than a few heart-to-heart talks with Casey have done a number on Leonardo.]
His diet is... interesting. We'll say that. [Someone was eating a can of corn earlier today, his name starts with a 'Dona' and ends with a 'tello'.] Am I allowed to pass you things, or am I just on watch?
[He accepts his assign task, dropping veggies into one of the pots.] Love to tell you this, I'm in great shape. I can handle any dish I set my sights on. [The Leonardo Bluster hasn't changed, apparently.]
While, I'd give you a maybe. [Wow actual progress.] I don't think that'll work out. The two Donnies got into some physical fight, and I'm not sure that we want a repeat over mashed potatoes.
They can't just avoid each other all the time, either. It's not good for anybody, and a supervised environment is the best way to ease them into getting along.
[Twirling a spoon around in his hand with a knowing look.]

You can help. We've gotta get you back in top shape if you're gonna be out there cooking for other people.
[He turns to go back to work himself, but hmm. As long as Leo is being indulgent, he'd might as well push his luck.]
...Not that I mind making house calls, but you know you guys could come eat with the rest of us sometimes too, right?

The two need to be on... better terms first.
