weekends do strange things

[brentwood]

So, uh, that's it?

You find out there's a video game about boarding school and then- poof- I show up? Not that I don't believe you but I'd personally like to think there was more to that thought process than you're letting on. I'm not that simple to conjure up, am I?

Also, that user name isn't great for hiding a secret ID. Just sayin'. And. If I could be back before curfew that'd be grea-- what? What do you mean you think you'll keep me around? You already have a me in your head! [ wow. weird. ] Just. Ugh.

Keep it to the small stuff, okay? Okay.

I don't know. I think you do very well with being summoned as easily as you're needed, personally.

[ Hi, big bro, hi. ] "Needed" being the key word here, Nightwing. I'm not some portable, pint-sized genie in a bottle.

[Hello, little brother!]

Well, no, of course you're not. But it's not like we're not used to being available on call.

[brentwood]

Did you know there's a little pug that would like nothing more than to bite my ankles off? His name's Cardigan. [ It makes being on call a noisy affair. :C ]

I've started to walk him and stuff so he doesn't give me away when I'm coming back to school grounds way late.

[flyingg]

Cardigan. And they say I'm horrible with naming things.

Don't dog treats work?

[brentwood]

That's because you are.

They might, but I don't want to reek of bacon and pig ears while in costume, too.

[flyingg]

Not that bad! Why name a pug after a piece of clothing?!

And, let's admit it. It's not the worst or the strangest thing our work clothes have smelled of. By far.

[brentwood]

Buttons would be kind of nice-- but admit it, you'd name a pug Buttons Jr or something as horrendous. Instead of Rex, like a normal dog should be named.

Ha! Considering the times we've gone dumpster diving, no, it's not.

[flyingg]

... come on, like if you call out Rex, half the park's puppies won't be confused! A little originality, please. I mean, even Rory would be better. Or Roxie, for a girl.

Or sewer strolling. Yep.

[ Tim's nose scrunches up a little. No Man's Land sure has. . . fun memories. ] We lead charmed lives.

[flyingg]

[And the concern is immediate and clear on Dick's face.]

Sorry. We sorta do, but - sorry.
