Maaaaybe going back to Haven, hmm.

[suchaprince]

You will regret sending me back there, Mundane. I will make sure that you do.

We'll see how well you write after losing a few fingers.

[Well, okay, maybe he won't do that. But no one else has to know that, right? When he thinks about it, though...]

...but if I must go, I suppose they could benefit from being in the presence of a real Robin. It's almost a miracle how the others manage to survive by themselves.

[hexappeal]

You know, you catch more flies with honey...

[suchaprince]

When has politeness ever changed their minds?

[hexappeal]

I'm sure it's happened once or twice!

[suchaprince]

Tt. If you want to get things done, take action.

[Not that... it's going to help much, either, but!!]

[hexappeal]

And what exactly are you trying to "get done" in this case?

[No, it won't. Ickle baby Robin-chan.]

[suchaprince]

[He is a MANLY Robin, okay.]

Being kept out of that "game." Or being kept out of any "game," for that matter.

[hexappeal]

[If only blinking text weren't such a pain on DW, amirite?]

So, what? You'd rather just roam around doing nothing and being ignored?

[suchaprince]

[Good thing we still have our imaginations!

Also, that isn't fair. When she says it like that, he kind of starts to think that maybe that isn't what he wants.

...but he is stubborn. And his answer clearly says as much.]

Yes.

[the_hit_list]

You never learn.

[suchaprince]

...on second thought, being free of you might be worth the trouble.

[Yeah, no, never learns.]

[the_hit_list]

The best part about the game my mun sent me to? You aren't here, and I don't have to babysit you through the arena to keep you in line.

It's like a vacation.

[No Bat does.]

[suchaprince]

You seem to have that backwards. [It is clearly Damian that does the babysitting. You know, in his head.] But I'm not surprised you don't have your facts straight.

[the_hit_list]

Right. Because you're so much more informed than I am.

Because we're all so inclined to give information to the kid we can't trust to not cut our grappling lines.

[suchaprince]

You deserved that.

[He'd do it a hundred times over, too, except he is trying to be good. Alas.]

It isn't my fault that the rest of you don't know what's good for you.

[the_hit_list]

Damian, you have to stop proving my point. That's real advice.

[He could do that and worse at the Games with Tim. Tim would like to ask Damian's mundane to make sure this never happens, but his own mun is keeping him quiet with threats.]

[suchaprince]

[You have no idea how tempted I am just to ruin their day—]

You're the last person who should be giving me advice, Drake.

[the_hit_list]

If you have something to say, say it. Since Dick thinks everything can be worked out if we just communicate more.

[I support this. We have comics Tim and Steph, DCAU Bruce, and Barbara is from The Batman. There is also comics Harley and Wonder Woman.]

[suchaprince]

[I'll think about it! Actually, I'll PM you in a bit if you don't mind some questions!]

You wouldn't listen if I did. You don't "trust" me, remember?

[the_hit_list]

I trust what you say. I don't trust what you keep to yourself, because I worry about what goes on in that head of yours.

Can you say that's completely unreasonable? I had a lot of people in that file, Damian, including my best friend. It wasn't as personal as you think.

[Anytime you like, even if you decide against it for now.]

[suchaprince]

Then Grayson would be wrong. [He doesn't think communication can fix that. Knowing what went on in his head wouldn't mean Tim understood what went on in his head.] And in case you haven't noticed, he isn't here, so your excuses are entirely unnecessary.

[Because. It still feels pretty personal to him.]

[the_hit_list]

And he's not infallible, so what difference does it make if he's wrong?

[Tim would be more understanding if he didn't feel like he was getting shoved aside and replaced with a loose cannon. Also, he's a hypocrite, because he's turned into one himself lately.]

They're not excuses. They're reasons. I don't answer to Dick.

[Because Dick didn't want him to.]

[suchaprince]

I have no interest in "communicating" with you, Drake. It's pointless. [Especially since he feels like he already tried.

...besides. He thinks discussing feelings is for girls.] And they're excuses no matter how you dress them up. I will not justify your excuses as "reasonable."

[the_hit_list]

Stop trying to argue semantics with me. It's contradictory and avoidant. If you wanted to walk away from the argument, you would. But you don't know when to shut up when you've got steam to blow off.
