[lamnia]

Look, take it easy. I'm not going anywhere, and even if you are doing this because of- and these were your words, not mine- "horrible enablers", I'll cut you some slack.

That gulch place will still be there once you get these nerves out of the way.

Let's not make things too easy for them now, Dent.

/shakes a fist as you and your enabling ways

[lamnia]

She seems like a good person, decent head on her shoulders and whatnot. So why make it difficult?

[battyman]

Masks seem like a really big thing nowadays. You can never be too careful.

[lamnia]

So far it seems like there's only a handful of people who can pull that off. But I'll keep an eye out.

[Oh Bruce, you silly little rich boy. Why should he listen to you?]

[battyman]

You do that.

[Don't be rude, Mr. Perfect District Attorney. You're talking to the man who pretty much holds the key to every fun thing in Gotham and the motherfucking Batman who knows where you live.]

[lamnia]

[He smiles- a quick flash of straight, white teeth.]

I plan to.

[battyman]

[Okay Harv, we get it. You're perfect.

He continues with much less superiority than their conversations usually go.]

Good.

I think you're being a little too fair.

:3

[lamnia]

There are those who deserve it.

:>

[adapted]

If you aren't a little forceful, how can you ever expect to get anything accomplished?

[lamnia]

I've never had a problem getting plenty accomplished without force. Leave that to the cops and vigilantes.

[adapted]

That depends on your particular brand of force. You are were? are Gotham's White Knight, after all. You just don't use force the way the rest of the criminal underbelly - and borderline psychotics in bat costumes - do.

[lamnia]

Well, looks like you're catching on to me, Miss-

I'm sorry, I don't think I caught your name.

[adapted]

That's because I didn't give it. Cliche, but true.

[lamnia]

Hm. You know, I'm not a really big fan that game.

[adapted]

I gathered as much. Golf seems more your speed.

[lamnia]

[He frowns at that, lips pulling into a thin line.]

Ever tried the game yourself? More complex than you'd believe.

[He's actually not a big fan of it. Just plays it in order to humor the Mayor.]

[adapted]

[Now she's talking to a dead man about playing golf. This is not the life she imagined for herself.]

Can't say I have. I'm not really a big fan of all the pastel and plaid. Although I understand that some percentage of deals are made on the golf course, so I can understand why, as DA, you'd be invested in learning how to hit a tiny ball into a tiny hole.

[lamnia]

[The eyebrows go up somewhat at that, and he chuckles.]

Interesting way of putting it.

[adapted]

[One of her eyebrows arches in return, and she smiles, slowly, but she doesn't chuckle.]

I wasn't going for euphemisms, if that's what you're getting at.

[lazarustaxa]

There can be no growth through coddling, Mr. Dent. A bit of stage fright is hardly dangerous.

[lamnia]

I wouldn't call it coddling.

[lazarustaxa]

You'd be a poor politician indeed if you couldn't manage a more favorable term.

But that does not alter the reality.

[lamnia]

And which reality is that?

[gothamscop]

...Horrible enablers?

[he is wary. Curious and wary. The last thing he remembers of this man is...a holiday he celebrated throughout his years at the academy.]

[lamnia]

Her words, not mine. I think it's supposed to be endearing in it's own way.

[gothamscop]

...I'll say sir..the city could use a positive face. [Who's not Andrew Ryan.]

[lamnia]

Then I'll try my best to provide one.
