[Extremely Broad Friends Filter - if you've had a single positive conversation with him over the past year and a couple months, you're on it.]

So, has anyone noticed anything different about themselves?

[Private to Tim]

How do you feel about sparring later today? [This is totally not code for I'm checking up on you and if you choose to read that into it well. Dammit Tim. Why would you ever think that? It's not like that's something he would do. >>]

[Private to Buffy]

So. [This is a little awkward. :c] Should we maybe talk about what happened?

[Private to Jim, added later]

Can I come over?

[ooc: Dick's totally unaffected. Come bother him though. c:]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

That's really all any of us can do. [He heard it. :V] And there are bright spots. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, or fun, but we'll all get through it.

Right. Remind me to come to you first when I need my day brightening.

I've actually been told I can be quasi useful for that.

By someone who was afraid to flatter you too much?

How did you know?

Well. If anyone called me quasi anything as a compliment I'd ask if they wanted to take it outside.

I'm just surrounded by emotionally stunted people who have a hard time giving compliments.

Sounds like they've been making a real effort for you.

Shockingly, yes. That would be effort.

Sounds like the Barge is good for something after all.

[Well he was mostly talking about Bruce BUT SURE WE'LL GO WITH THAT.] It definitely has its good points. If nothing else, you get to meet interesting people.

Yeah. 'Interesting' is one of those words that can mean a lot of things.

I've made some good friends here?

See, I'm much more reassured by that.

...

You mentioned sparring. How about training?

What kind of training you got in mind?

I've got all the NYPD unarmed combat training I had time to show up for, and I've been kickboxing since high school. But it doesn't hurt to see what else is out there, right? Not that I ever plan on leaving my weapon at home but the more I can do before it becomes the only option, the better.

[Also she has been made aware - or at least, enabled to remember - that you are/were Robin. Were? You're a little old for the booty shorts there.]

So do you know anyone who can help me out with that?

[Tim this is why we don't tell people we're from Gotham. WE'RE FROM NEW JERSEY.]

I think I could probably lend a hand. Not to brag, but unarmed combat's kind of a skill of mine.

I won't ask to see your credentials. When's a good time for us to see what you can do?

Whenever's good for you works for me. I don't have anything in particular planned today.

I can meet you in the gym after lunch.

I'll be there.

[Sara's workout gear today is a threadbare White Stripes T-shirt and tired-looking black sweatpants because she has never given less of a shit about how she looks than when she's at the gym. Since her lunch was a cup of coffee, she shows up before Dick and hops on the treadmill to warm up a little.]

[And Dick shows up a while later in a white t-shirt and dark shorts - normal shorts, not short pants, apparently the distinction needs to be made when it comes to Robin, the Boy Fashion Disaster, who does know how to dress himself properly these days - looking around for Sara as soon as he enters the gym, smiling when he spots her on the treadmill.]

Hey.

[She smiles back and switches off the machine, slowing to a halt and stepping away.] Hey.

[Maybe she should be embarrassed about asking a guy so much younger for help, but she isn't - partly because she has a vague idea of how long those 20something years have been, partly because it'd be damn near impossible to peg her at 32, and partly because she needs the help and doesn't care where it comes from. She figures the more she can do without 'backup', the less 'backup' she'll need. The Witchblade - which is privy to every thought in her head - is muttering disconsolately about this at the back of her head but it's not actively complaining.]

So how do you want to play this?

[Dick doesn't find it particularly strange at all, considering he's been used to most people treating him like a capable adult since he was about twelve, so if there's any reason to be embarrassed, he doesn't comment on it and just shrugs a little.]

Whatever works for you. Got anything in particular you want to brush up on?
