I won't keep you, I just want to give you something to think about.

What does scouring the internet for Rachel say about your ability to take me on? [ This may very well be a roundabout way of saying, he doesn't hate that his mun wants to find Rachel, but maybe that shouldn't be their top priority. ]

What do you mean?

[gothamsheir]

I mean that my mun has her priorities confused. But from what I gather that's not exactly uncommon around here.

[hackingyoursensors]

Yeah, it's pretty everyday. But your mun could definitely do worse than trying to find your, uh, friend?

[gothamsheir]

You don't want to give her any encouragement now.

[hackingyoursensors]

For finding your friend or for doing worse than finding your friend?

[gothamsheir]

[ Either? ] In this case, the latter.

[hackingyoursensors]

Bruce, do you really think I would do that?

[gothamsheir]

[ It's a very sad fact, but he doesn't know Dick, and it shows in his expression. ]

Just don't tell me you're one of my sons. [ Bruce is joking of course... mostly. His Robin experience thus far has been all Damian. Not that he necessarily believed what the kid was implying. ]

[hackingyoursensors]

[Welp, now he knows.]

It depends on your definition. But no, not biologically.

[gothamsheir]

So you were adopted by some alternate version of me. [ It feels strange talking about this kind of thing so casually. ]

[hackingyoursensors]

[He's trying to be casual, but Dick is more than a little weirded out and a little sad.]

Yeah, four years ago. Does Gotham have its Dark Knight yet? [Trying to be all sneaky about secret identities.]

[gothamsheir]

Oh, sure.

Seems pretty irresponsible to have a kid running around.

[hackingyoursensors]

[Well now you've gone and offended him]

I trained hard to become Robin. It's more irresponsible not to have a partner.

[callit]

If you spot one, mind giving me a head's up?

[gothamsheir]

What kind of man would I be if I didn't? [ That lie is built around the truth. If Bruce did run into Rachel first and she brought up Harvey he could feel obligated to say something, leading them to find one another without actually doing what he implied he would. ]

[callit]

Thanks for that. [Harvey trusts you as far as he can throw you, Bruce.]

Rachel aside, I assume your mun's been keeping you busy?

[gothamsheir]

Not busy enough. [ Or at least, not at his pace. ]

[callit]

I should have guessed that. I can't imagine a guy like you would enjoy being cooped up for too long.

[And by 'guy like you' he means 'jerkass playboy'. c: ]

[gothamsheir]

No, not really. But my mun's taken a greater interest in me than expected. [ He says that almost sarcastically, but it's true. ]

oh hey. totally not stalking you... just tripped over this post....

[nottheshoe]

[Snnnnrt.]

Sounds like somebody's a little lonely.

i totally set up the trap that tripped you.

[gothamsheir]

Oh, you think so?

knewit. Also I feel I harass you enough that mebbe we should be plurk buddies?

[nottheshoe]

Oh c'mon. I know the whole act.

[She deepens her voice for this next part]

"I'm not lonely, don't drag anyone I know int'this, I'm fine on my own."


[A hand wave]

They'll just find some other way t'torture you.
