in my defense I had intended to app like 3 months ago, not now, but /INDICATES ORIGINAL MISSIVE

[beknighted]

Yeah, that is really helpful. [That's gentle sarcasm.]

/LAMENTS REGARDLESS

[ichoosefight]

Batboys, I swear. And you're supposed to be the cheery one.

:'(

[beknighted]

Patch him up good, okay?

[ichoosefight]

I'll do the best I can. He was in a bad place to begin with, and this island is really good at messing with your head.

[beknighted]

So I hear. ... maybe it's for the best that I don't come. But I'm glad you're there.

[ichoosefight]

As much as I like you, I wouldn't wish this place on anyone. Although I would appreciate help.

[beknighted]

Best for Tim, I mean. I'd do everything I could for everyone else, but I'm not convinced I can do anything for him personally anymore, other than hurt him. I know I — I'm not helpful to you either, when I'm Batman. Or to Babs. And I'm sorry for that, Steph.

[ichoosefight]

[ ...Awwwwww. ]

Don't be. You had every reason not to trust me not to screw everything up. You came around, and that's enough.

[beknighted]

[His smile is still a little dubious, but it's nice that she said that last part, that it was enough. That's really all he can hope for when it comes to him being Batman, that it was enough.]

You take care of you, too. — And now a miniature Babs. You've just gotten the short end of the babysitting stick, here.

[ichoosefight]

If I've got the short end, then what end is Damian?

[beknighted]

[FORGIVE HIM, DAMIAN Dick bursts out laughing, just as much because the comment was unexpected after him moping re: Tim as it was because, well, hilarious.]

[ichoosefight]

Somehow I thought you might say that.

[ She has truly inherited the 'cheery one' role. ]
