Out for trolling.

[batnanny]

Young Miss,

While I appreciate the enthusiasm, I do think it's a bit misplaced. And I don't much like being called a... "troll" as it were.

'Sides, you know very well the decisions Master Wayne decides t'make, and I hardly think my commentary is undeserved. In fact, I would even say it's needed given the amount of trouble he likes to get in.

At least reconsider th'name. I'm hardly a nanny.

Sincerely,
Alfred Pennyworth

It's definitely needed. But don't tell him I said that, okay?

[batnanny]

[....Well this is new]

I certainly won't. But you're going t'have t'tell me your name first, young man.

[hackingyoursensors]

[Well now he's all sad. Look at that face.]

Dick Grayson. I live at the Manor. Or, in your case, I guess I will.

[batnanny]

At th'manor?

Would that be a blood relation or otherwise... Master Dick, as it were.

[Leaving out the part where the manor got ka-bluied]

[hackingyoursensors]

[Damn it Nolanverse!Bruce, this is why you need him. Blowing stuff up without him, man.]

No, we're not related. Bruce doesn't have any relatives. Does he?

[snoring]

Witty remarks are needed for certain actions, I suppose...

...I may have just chortled at your user name. NGL.

[batnanny]

And it appears for certain people's actions more than others.

[Hint hint, Bruce.]

It's good t'see you well, sir.

I snorted at yours. I think we're even now

[snoring]

Well, I wouldn't go pointing fingers.

Good to see you too, Alfred.

and oh hei. I creeped on you and you're usin' some of the icons I made. GLAD TO SEE THEM USED.

[batnanny]

Gettin' into just enough trouble to keep yourself occupied as usual? Or have you finally managed t'settle down somewhere quiet?

Really? Which ones? You're now my favorite.

[snoring]

I can honestly say I'm somewhere quiet and settled. It's boring. I think I might need to crash a car.

[definedbydeeds]

Me? Get into trouble?

Never. I wouldn't dream of it.

[Yeah. Absolutely.]

[batnanny]

I know very personally the trouble you like t'get into, Master Wayne.

[HE KNOWS, BRUCE. HE KNOWS.]

[tinfoil_angel]

I have to say I agree, someone like Mr. Wayne needs a little bit of grounded perspective.

Myself and my friends certainly benefited from it.

[batnanny]

It's good t'see someone here has more sense than th'normal lot.

[What is his life, and who are the people he hangs out with? :|]

Perhaps you could talk some sense int'him.

[tinfoil_angel]

I really doubt it. Mr. Wayne and I don't have a lot in common other than feeling a certain sense of responsibility to people around us.

[In fact, by his own English accent it was clear they weren't even born in the same country.]

[batnanny]

Sometimes that's enough. A sense of duty is important, after all.

[savedhisheart]

If he's anything like Mr. Stark, I wouldn't worry much about being a 'nanny'. They need someone who isn't afraid to put them in a corner when they need a time out.

[If they stay there, that's another story]

[batnanny]

No, what they need is lots of counselling. And t'lay off the thrill seeking.

[HE KNOWS ALL ABOUT TONY STARK B[]

[savedhisheart]

When was the last time you were able to get them to see a doctor though? Stark only goes if he's taken by an ambulance. And then he's up and out before the ink's dry.

[And telling him she worries doesn't usually help.]

[batnanny]

Just because I haven't been successful once or twice, doesn't mean I won't try again. Somebody has t'be looking out for their best interest.

[savedhisheart]

Until then, while we look out for their best interests we're delegated the 'Nanny' role.

[flyingg]

Not nanny. You're 'mom,' duh.

You are the best troll out there. ... I'm sure.

[batnanny]

[...Oh good. Another "Dick".]

I'm far too old to be having any more children. Master Bruce is child enough.

I'm still not sure I quite grasp the concept.

[flyingg]

*You are lucky it wasn't Damian?*

Well, technically we're his, so you would be grandpa, except you're the mellowing influence as he tries to raise us who makes sure we mind our manners and take care of each other and ourselves. So, mom.

It involves doing and saying things that are... say, taking statements literally in a deadpan way that makes people confused as to whether you're serious or not. And... other things to get a rise out of people, because you can.

[batnanny]

[Oh dear lord.]

Fine then.

I don't think I like what you're implying.

[Which is his way of saying "it's so completely true"]
