Man, you're so clingy. ( she grins. )

My mun was wondering if something was going on with you.

[batfail]

Oh, don't you worry, Little R, I'm still here. Bored outta my skull, but here. Life gets to 'em sometimes, you know?

Long time, huh?

[demon_brat]

Long time, I guess.

[Long time since he's been gone, and a little less since his mun stared at what Bruce did to Jason in Ethiopia and kind of gave up on new DC for a while.]

I've been a bit out of touch. But not bored. Though, yes, life does get to them.

[batfail]

( she knows all about that; hers hasn't bothered for quite some time now. )

How are you? What have you been up to? ( with a soft smile: ) Anything good?

[demon_brat]

I'm on the back of a turtle, most of the time. There are gangs in the city there. What do you think?

[batfail]

So, what you're saying is —you're actually having the time of your life. ( sarcasm, littlest Wayne. )

[demon_brat]

...

[He sort of gets the sarcasm. He also... hhhn.]

I must admit that it has been far more peaceful than I've been used to.

[So, kinda?]

[batfail]

( Harper grins. )

Still fighting the good fight? Sorry for the third degree here, it's just —( her sisterly instincts kicking in? the fact that she cares about Damian? ) something I do.

[demon_brat]

[... he's still weirded out that people care about him. It's almost unnatural (or he feels like he should hide that so that nobody makes him hurt them).]

What would I do if I stopped?

[It's only a little dry.]

[batfail]

Let's hope we'll never have to find out.

( and she means it, too. )

[demon_brat]

[That surprises him, and not in a bad way.]

I appreciate that you're not starting to list off options.

[batfail]

Not yet. ( a smirk. ) Day's still young.

[demon_brat]

It's a little futile, is all.

[batfail]

You've got a point there. Tigers and stripes and all that.

[demon_brat]

... I am finding it more and more regrettable that we didn't get a chance to actually meet, before I was taken out.

[batfail]

Right there with ya, kiddo.

[demon_brat]

... it'd have irritated Batman, wouldn't it.

[batfail]

Ooooh yeah. Big time.

[demon_brat]

You sound like you're enjoying the prospect.

[batfail]

Sometimes. He could use the change of pace.

[demon_brat]

... the... one who's left after me can.
