[For anyone who'd be paying attention, Dick sounds a little more grounded than he's been over the last few weeks. Port was a good for him, even if he's not really up for being his usual chatty self.]

Funny how these things always seem to happen in groups, isn't it?

[Private to Sara]

Thanks for making me take a night off. I had a lot of fun.

[Private to Rorschach]

I know you're probably going to brush it off, but how are you doing? [What with Claire leaving and all.]

[Private to Tim]

I've got something for you.

[psychic_hotline]

No problem. Been a while since I took a real break myself.

Private

[batmanschmatman]

I guess that's one of the hazards of our line of work.

Private

[psychic_hotline]

At least now I've got an Inmate I can feel like there's something to take a break from.

Private

[batmanschmatman]

Have you talked to him yet?

Private

[psychic_hotline]

Working up to it.

Private

[batmanschmatman]

He seems like an interesting guy. [If by interesting he really means good luck with that bro. :|]

Private

[psychic_hotline]

Yeah, 'interesting'. Is this Barge talk for 'you're screwed'?

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

Fine.

[Not that Dick expected any other answer.]

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

[No, no he did not.]

Claire called you Walter.

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

[He gives a verbal shrug, although his words are a little less unconcerned.]

Moment of weakness.

[Implication: he shouldn't have told her.]

[Private] excuse me as I abuse my new icons /o\

[batmanschmatman]

[Oh, he hears that. What happened. :|]

Why would you say that?

[Private] eee keywords. <3

[wemaketheworld]

[Claire. Claire is what happened. :/ ]

Shouldn't have answered. Wasn't...relevant.

[Private] I thought you might appreciate them c:

[batmanschmatman]

[That both does and doesn't answer the question at all.]

But you did anyway.

Private - abusing new icons you say? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

[gotgreenmagic]

You sound better.

[Shego....doesn't.]

Private - It's the best kind of abuse :c

[batmanschmatman]

[Dick noticed. :C]

I think I've more or less got my head back on straight. How about you?

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

I dunno. Just bored, I guess.

[Also MANY OTHER EMOTIONS but they're hard to talk about :C]

Private

[batmanschmatman]

After everything that's happened, you're bored.

[Translation: NOT BUYING THIS IN THE SLIGHTEST.]

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Key word: after.

[Because this is totally 100% over and she has not left any horribly dangling threads at all.]

Private

[batmanschmatman]

[Yeah, and Dick's a totally normal, healthy human being.]

Did you guys talk?

[Private]

[peektuttut]

If it's from Risa, I don't want it. I saw that episode. It was creepy.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

No, from back home. I'd been meaning to hand it over a while ago, but stuff kept happening.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

Yeah? [Curiosity: piqued.] I'll come by.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Door's open.

[Spam]

[peektuttut]

[And a few minutes later, Tim is opening the door and peeking in.] It's not a surprise party, right?

[Spam]

[batmanschmatman]

Well, it is July 4th, but I wasn't planning on doing much beyond telling Steve happy birthday, so. [He's grinning and putting aside the book he was thumbing through.] I think you're safe.
