[Private to Costigan]

I'd like to talk about Nygma.

[Private to Bruce]

You busy?

Nothing. Just bored. And we don't want to get lazy while we're here, right? [Also he wants to ask you ALL THE QUESTIONS about what you're doing with Nygma.].

I really doubt that's all of it.

[ Pause. Then: ] Fine. When?

private;

[batmanschmatman]

When are you free? My evening's pretty open, besides training with Steph.

[fivestepsahead.livejournal.com]

Any time is fine, really.

... Can we use the Cave? [There's just something special and homey about it. c:]

[ Pause. ] You want to use the Cave. To spar. [ So much dryness. Then, he shakes his head. ]

Fine.

It could use some airing out anyway.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

Be there in fifteen minutes? [So much happy. c:]

[ Awwwww. Also, quickspam or assumeeee? ]

Come on over.

[batmanschmatman]

[Quickspam okay with you? We can take it slow. <3]

Thanks, Bruce.

[ ooc; I am slower than a snail. ]

[ So he's still up in his room, sitting on the bed and thumbing through a huge tomb talking about quantum mechanics. Hi. ]

[ooc: But we love you anyway. c:]

[Dick is just letting himself in, because your son is feeling kind of peppy yet restless, Bruce, and is eying that book.] Doing some light reading?

[ ooc; ;+; ]

Sure. [ Looking up and closing the books. ] It's interesting to see how it applies to the Barge, given that its very existence seems to completely defy physics.

[ Pause, and he stands, moving to the clock. ]

[batmanschmatman]

The Barge? Defy physics? No way.

[And he'll let you do the honors, boss man.]

[fivestepsahead.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see your sarcasm drive is still working.

[ And he's opening the door~ ]

spam;

[batmanschmatman]

Yeah, it's doing pretty well, I'd like to think.

[But he's quiet while they actually head down to the cave, but that lasts for about fifteen seconds before yay more talking.] So, how've you been?

spam;

[fivestepsahead.livejournal.com]

Fine. [ Yay evasive answer, and he's swinging down the stairs, la di la. ]

You?

spam;

[batmanschmatman]

Fine. You still taking Nygma home for a few days?

spam;

[fivestepsahead.livejournal.com]

... Yes. [ Eyebrow cock. ]

Why, do you want to follow?

spam;

[batmanschmatman]

Well, I won't lie, I'm a little homesick, but no, I'm good. My place is here right now.

spam;

[fivestepsahead.livejournal.com]

[ Sharp, sharp glance. ]

Why do you say that?

spam;

[batmanschmatman]

... I made a deal, I want it to be fulfilled and I care about my inmate?

spam;

[fivestepsahead.livejournal.com]

It means that you have a job to do. Not that you belong here.

spam;

[batmanschmatman]

Bruce, you know what I meant.
