On NOT getting sent to a game. Any game.

[peckish4action]

... am so not sulking! I get it, too much on your plate, and the place that is familiar, the kid needs more.

But KF--

Never mind. No, still not sulking.

That's why I try to avoid where it matters? I mean, discussing things between you, other-me, and a puppy... how much less important could my opinion get?

... *smirks* Now that somehow doesn't surprise me.

[backwordscompatible]

Hey, your opinion totally matters. Don't even say that.

[peckish4action]

I... uh... Thanks. Though in this case, not me-me. But thanks.

[backwordscompatible]

Yes, you-you. Yes, in this case.

You're the one I'm talking to right now, aren't you?

[peckish4action]

... um.

[Open mouth. Close it. Open mouth...]

I think I ought not to be jealous of a puppy. If I am, I should be rethinking things some.

[backwordscompatible]

[This earns a genuine laugh]

I'm just teasing about the jealous part, you know.

I mean, Robin Jr. can get pretty possessive...but, in the end, there's really not that much competition.

[peckish4action]

*and he definitely likes the laugh. A lot.*

Good. And I'm glad you have both, you know? All three, I mean. Both Robins and Wally. All alone just doesn't work, especially in such places.

... and I'm still kind of pissed about anybody putting you in prison. On general principle.

*she wanted his opinion, right?*

[backwordscompatible]

Both Robins, a Wally, and an Artemis. [And a Partridge in a Pear Tree] She just recently showed up. Twice, in fact. Because once just wasn't enough for her, I guess.

[She did want his opinion. It was a valid one, too.]

I kinda figured as much. But it could be way worse, right?

[peckish4action]

Yes. *soft, but certain.* It could be a lot worse. And I am very glad that it isn't.

[backwordscompatible]

Yeah, so am I.

[peckish4action]

So. Other than making sure we stay reasonable and taking care of Robin, Jr., what do you get to do, there?

[backwordscompatible]

Pretty much whatever we want.

Right now, we're in the middle of planning a laser tag outing. You, me, Wally, and Artemis.

[It's definitely not a double date. Nope.]

[peckish4action]

*blinks. And then actually laughs.*

All right, if that's the kind of thing, I suppose I shouldn't be too terribly upset about the place.

[backwordscompatible]

Good.

I don't want you to be upset just for my sake.

[peckish4action]

You're my friend. You are all my friends. And... me. How wouldn't I be upset for your sake?

[backwordscompatible]

Because I'm not upset anymore.

I mean, it's not the ideal situation...but it could be way worse.

[peckish4action]

It's still not fair to sentence you... any of you. But, yeah.

[backwordscompatible]

Nothing about my life is fair, Robin.

But at least I got you out of this deal. Wearing a bell.

[Because, in laser tag, being Robin is cheating otherwise]

[peckish4action]

Hey, it's not all been quite so bad, has it? Because that would be just... too sad.

*beat. Blinks. Stares.

And then starts cackling.*

Good. That's one for you.

[backwordscompatible]

[She takes a light bow]

Thank you.

[peckish4action]

The first of many, I'm sure. Or one of many. However you count it.

[backwordscompatible]

Actually, you agreed a little too quickly to that one. Very suspicious.

[peckish4action]

Maybe not-I's got some ideas about it that are similar to your own?

[backwordscompatible]

Like what?

Either you like the idea of the challenge, or you just wanted me to wrap my arms around you when I put it on.

[peckish4action]

... both of those are highly possible, really. Add the part about trying something... unusual - and that's separate from a challenge, and, yeah.
