[Dick's voice is very flat and very depressed. He can't really deal right now.]

Costigan's gone. Off the Barge. I'm not - I'm not sure if he's coming back.

[Meaning, his item's stopped responding to him and there's no sign of him anywhere, and Dick has so many sads. He pauses for a moment like he's going to say something else, but turns off the feed instead.]

[Martha's fingers glistened with the oil and then she applied it to his jaw quickly but carefully, soothing the bruise away.]

Anywhere else, Dick?

Spam.

[batmanschmatman]

[He was probably bruised in other places, but he didn't feel like pulling his shirt off and checking for the rest of them, so he just shook his head.]

I'm good. Thanks, Martha.

Spam.

[Martha's expression says that she very much doubts that's true, but there's no point in fighting him on it.]

Cake. And tea, I think.

Spam.

[batmanschmatman]

That would be great. How was back home? [Because he is happily grasping for a topic other than Tim, Costigan or that he was an idiot.]

[toldastory]

It was lovely. [Martha stood up and she headed in the kitchen, returning with a piece of chocolate cake with white and purple fondant and a cup of tea.]

I've got wedding video if you're interested.

Spam.

[batmanschmatman]

[Both of which he's taking with a grateful smile. Chocolate cake and tea are basically the best things ever.] I'd love to see it.

[toldastory]

Well, good thing I can do that then, yeah?

[Martha sat down with her own cup of tea (she was pretty much done eating cake for a while. Possibly forever.)]

[batmanschmatman]

[After this many weddings, Dick really can't blame her.] So, which wedding's been your favorite, so far? Or is this one of those they've all been so awesome, it's hard to choose things?

Spam.

[toldastory]

They're different really. One was just for us, and one was for everyone else. I can't chose.

[Martha smiled quickly, and then she took a sip of her tea.]

Spam.

[batmanschmatman]

I guess that's probably how it should be. [And he took a forkful of cake to have a good excuse not to fess up about his own disastrous experiences with weddings.]

Spam.

[toldastory]

Probably. Most people don't have two weddings I suppose.

[Have a little bit of a smile, before she hit the button on the remote which turned on the movie of her and Snape dancing to "You belong to me."]

Spam.

[batmanschmatman]

You got him to dance? [SOMEONE IS AMUSED.]

Spam.

[toldastory]

More than once. And smile, and be exceptionally happy.

Spam.

[batmanschmatman]

I am very impressed, Martha.

Spam.

[toldastory]

You should be. It's a major feat that.

[Martha grinned at him for a moment, and then she smirked.]

Couldn't get the top hat and tails though.
