[...]

I am not inclined to go along with any "games" you might have in mind. We have been together for many many years now, and the sudden urge to do this has me confounded. Why now? You were close to something greater, and now...now, I'm simply this.

I dislike this entirely, but I am certain you could have guessed that much by now.

[edit]

My soul as an animal counterpart being the name I have been given by those who would undo me? I thought we enjoyed each other's company more than that. Please pick something else, I would rather not have to see that every day I may be there. There are plenty to choose from, and many places upon this strange device to research such things and mull over it.

Do not act rashly, and do not do anything out of the idea that harming my mentality would be enjoyable, for it would not be enjoyable for me.

Ain't fun for anyone, why should you be special?

[rinse]

[That face isn't something one sees every day. It is not the worst injury she has seen before, but there is a momentary pause as she sees him. Ill times with leprosy, perhaps?]

I didn't mean to make myself sound special. I thought I was to her, unlike the others she has running about. We've been through a lot together.

[getmygoodside]

[Guh, he gets that look so much that it's stopped being a huge deal anymore. There's a grunt of mild irritation, but that's it.]

She and everyone else. Then there's those who get it worst.

[rinse]

[She can tell from that grunt that he gets it often, and she knows she should apologize (or at least look guilty), but that's not really her thing. She'll offer a slightly sympathetic look, but it's obvious that that's the most she can give.]

And are you one of those who has it worse, Mister...?

[getmygoodside]

No one has it worse than me. Comes with life in Gotham, kid.

[rinse]

[Did he call everyone kid, or was she just lucky?]

Now it sounds like you are the one aiming to be thought of as special.

[getmygoodside]

[If you don't look twenty or older, expect to be called that.]

When life deals you hard, you gotta be a gambler.

[Coin flip.]

[rinse]

[It's not her fault she looks young. Call it "healthy" living. Her body certainly doesn't look that way, not that anyone but her husbands and captors have ever rightly seen it.

She spots the coin, and without delay:]

Tails.
