You know I am a patient woman, and I have waited for my chance. Finally, it seems, it's my turn to be heard.

It does not mean I am happy with your plans, and I'm not sure you'll go through with it. Put me in any Hell you like. I am the daughter of Ra's al Ghul. You'll see what happens.

[ that smile, however small, is enough to make uneasiness coil in the pit of selina's stomach and a chill to straighten her spine. she knows when she's being assessed, when her usefulness is being gauged, and she knows what happens in talia's circle once they no longer have need for their allies. ]

I don't make a habit of it. But Gotham's doing a pretty good job of destroying itself.

That's the beauty of corruption: with a little encouragement it will destroy itself.

But Gotham's no longer a concern of mine. I believe that's something we can both agree on.

[brazenly]

One of few. [ but still more than she'd like to admit. ]

It remains a concern of someone else's, though.

[slowestknife]

How is Bruce doing these days?

[ don't encourage her, Selina. ]

[brazenly]

Healthy. Minus a few things he's still healing from.

[ both physically and mentally, both things they're at least in part responsible for. she doesn't like the road this conversation is leading down or the things it's making her remember, which is a sign she should probably leave it.

and yet. ]

[slowestknife]

Give him my regards. He's a very special man, isn't he?

[ in a another life, he could have been something truly great. her father saw it, she saw it. instead he betrayed them both.

it's too bad, because there's part of her that really did like him. ]
