Where. Are. You?

Do not avoid this question Damian. I am in no mood to have you skirt this question.

[thebat_brat]

The third is certainly true. [His eyes flick from the book's cover, towards the empty rec room.] You're Batman. Stop it.

[notasidedick]

[He's finally gets back to his feet. Oh right. Being Batman. That thing he doesn't really like to do, but it isn't so bad with Damian around.] Right. Right. I forget sometimes when I'm here.

[His voice is a bit detached though.]

[thebat_brat]

Don't forget. Otherwise I'll take my birthright early.

[Shoulders are up, an angry cat.]

[notasidedick]

[Ruffles your hair a bit.]

Good luck with that one Damian. [How angry can the cat get?]

[thebat_brat]

[He ducks away, and one hand goes up to muss it up properly.]

I'll do it-- if you won't. Step it up, Grayson.

[Is this his version of a peptalk? dear god.]

[notasidedick]

[Raises an eyebrow.]

Oh And what am I not doing exactly?

[Damian. You're really terrible at this. I just thought you'd like to know.]

[thebat_brat]

You're not-- you're not being Batman.

[It's horrible and he feels horrible, and he turns his head away. Even if his father was here, there wouldn't be a 'Batman-way-out.']

[notasidedick]

Well Damian...

[Ouch. Way to kill the mood and make a guy think. It feels like all those stupid times he always thinks 'what would Batman do' scenarios. Except there isn't an answer.]

Right now, I'm just Dick Grayson. So right now I can only do things the Dick Grayson way.

[thebat_brat]

Which Dick Grayson? [Bruce-Blue eyes are glinting at him]

Tabloid-Dick Grayson? Sit back, 'look pretty'?

[notasidedick]

Just Dick Grayson. Dick Grayson doing flips and being stupidly witty Dick Grayson.

[Oh hey Damian. Suddenly pulled into the hug.] The Dick Grayson that does this even though Damian Wayne hates it.

[thebat_brat]

[He's about to throw a biting remark back when it's suddenly hug time./i> His shoulders stiffen, he's about to throw him off, but he stays put. It's with a massive amount of restrain that he stays put.]

[notasidedick]

Not going to throw me off this time Damian?

[Because he's not letting go otherwise unless you do try to throw him off.]

[thebat_brat]

Just get it over with.

[Remaining stock still.]

But hurry up.

[notasidedick]

And what if I don't feel like letting go.

[Pushing your buttons. He does it.]

[thebat_brat]

Then I'll end you.

[SAID. SO. SERIOUSLY.]
