dear_mun | Having just seen you know what NO SPOILERS

Well, you've just succeeded in making my mun feel a lot better.

Well I wish your mun all the best as they watch it tonight.

Thanks Alfred. She appreciates it.

All talk about movies aside, how've you been lately? I haven't seen you in a while.

Very well indeed, Mr Dent, and thank you for asking. I must say Mr Wayne does keep me busy.

Yeah, I'd imagine. He seems like the type of man that requires a lot of....cleaning up after.

[aka man does Harvey dislike him]

[Hahahahaaaaa ;A; harvey

Alfred chuckles good naturedly all the same.] Well, you're not wrong. When one has an inordinate ammount of money at one's disposal, one finds rather creative uses for it.

Creative's a nice way of putting it.

Your word's as good as any.

[He trusts you with his life, Alfred. More than any other person on this whole damn planet. Surely slightly nervous movie fans will too.]

It's very kind of you to say so, Master Wayne. You'll excuse me if I don't say more than that, because as much as my player wishes to have me talk to you all, I'd rather keep my mouth shut so as not to accidentally spoil any of it for you.

[A smile. Hey, he remembers how. ~~Sometimes.~~]

I'm sure she'll appreciate that. Might make my life easier too. [... You know. Fans.]

You picked the wrong careerpath for an easy life.

[Significant pause. Hinthint it rhymes with hatman]

A billionaire playboy has duties to uphold. If the word gets out he's not wearing the latest fashion all those lovely supermodels and russian ballerinas seem to dissapear into this air.

[Even so, point still stands. (And believe him; if he could find a decoy for those "billionaire playboy duties"....)]

Is it so wrong to hope for one aspect of it?

Well that's the trick, isn't it? Getting only the things out of life that you want, without all those other responsibilities which we tend to accumulate along the way.

[Responsibilities. Yes, he knows all about those. Self-assigned duties. To Gotham. To himself.

But maybe it occurs to him in this moment that he's not the only one to have acquired such responsibilities. Suddenly, this conversation is taking on a whole different weight. He falls silent for a time before--]

What about you, Alfred? What did you want?

[It's not often Alfred's without a quick or witty response, but Bruce's question catches him off guard.

When he finally replies he tries to keep his tone light, but there's a heaviness to his words.] Your father took a risk when he took me on to care for his family. He was a great, influential man, but not always a popular one- and we both knew that my position within your family could have been a weakness to him if I had chosen to betray him. But he took me on all the same and opened his family to me and- in time- I came to view the Wayne family as my own.

[He pauses, leaving unspoken that he has never had a wife or child of his own. He gave up that opportunity to better serve Bruce's father and then Bruce himself.] I want the same thing I've always wanted, Master Wayne. To see you live a happy and long life.

I suppose it had its moments.

Were there any you particularly enjoyed, Miss Kyle?

I'm a girl who likes to make her own good time, Alfred.

[ and then a devious little smile quirks the corner of her lip. ] Although, the look on Wayne's face every time he thought he was getting the better of me had to be near the top of the list.

[He can't help but match it.] It is nice for him to be reminded every now and again that he's not quite as superhuman as he likes to think.

[ the smile twitches off her face at the memory of watching bane prove that point with ruthless efficiency. ] He's not the first or only man to fancy himself beyond the rest of us mere mortals.

[ and, with a certain grudging air at admitting this part out loud: ] But he does seem have to a remarkable capacity for... resilience.

The Wayne family has a reputation for stubborn men. If they think there's a wrong out there that they can right, I'd think twice about getting in their way.

Some people would call that 'stupid' -- not stubborn.

My mun can't agree anymore than she already does.

Hi, Alfred.

Hello, Miss Dawes.

[Oh, has he got something in his eye? Must be some dust.] How have you been?

[Stay strong, Dawes~]

How've you been?
