OKAY WELL NOW THAT I FINISHED THE MATH DUE TONIGHT

[battothefuture]

[Terry, being one of the ones left untouched by this latest madness, was out buying milk and bread.

Which was when he saw him.

It'd been a little while, and he wasn't that close, but the street was almost empty and Terry was trained to observe - besides, his senses here were better than normal.

He almost dropped his groceries.]

Oh my God, Matt? Matty, you twip, what-

She grabbed you too?

How long have you been here?

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS INSPIRING

( It takes Damian a moment to realize that Terry’s words are directed at him. There is a moment when he gives a classic double-take, looking for the true recipient, and then realizes he’s the only other person on the street. Awkward.

His response is to scowl. )

What the hell are you talking about.

ACTUALLY IT'S MOSTLY JUST THAT I DON'T WANT TO FAIL

[battothefuture]

Ha ha, Matt. Seriously, what...

[His voice trails off as he looks at him a little curiously, because he did look a little different. But it wasn't much, and that could still be explained by a difference of a few months since he'd last seen him.

Kids grew, after all.]

THAT COULD BE INSPIRING...I GUESS

[xuffasch]

( Damian is now looking at Terry as though he might be insane. )

I'm going to assume that you're just a simpleton, and that's why you insist on calling me that.

( He's thoughtful for a moment, and then something clicks. )

Oh, don't tell me. You're actually supposed to be eighty or something and now you're not. Perfect.
