[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.

Comments

[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]

[wemaketheworld]

Didn't think she would use it. Thought she understood.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Did she say why she was doing it?

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

[Consideration.]

No. Only said she appreciated knowledge.

...loses some importance when have already had it plastered over news and newspapers for all to see.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

I understand. Did you explain to her why you were uncomfortable with it?

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

Yes.

[A long pause.]

Has a habit of trying to fix people. Assuming she thought it would help somehow.

[A scoff follows; as if that had been necessary.]

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Are you mad about it?

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

No, not mad.

[Disappointed. Irritated. Not really MAD. It's not like this is odd behavior coming from her.]

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Well, even if she kind of didn't get it, I'm glad you trusted her with it. She really cares about you. [And maybe it was a good thing you were pals with someone who had a very different concept of boundaries than you. :v]

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

[He makes a noise that's somewhere between a grumble and a grunt.]

She said as much.

[There's "very different" and then there's "OH GOD WHERE DID MY SPACE GO". :/ ]

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

[Dick would argue that hugs are good for you, Rorschach.]

What did you think of port?

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

Was...interesting.

[That's one word for it.]

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

In what way? [Come on Rorschach, what other words would you use. C:]

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

Might have preferred depravity.

[Just because he reeeeally cannot handle that whole...happy thing. At least horrible he knows how to deal with. :/ ]

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

[Dick just laughs a little disbelievingly, because holy crap, Rorschach, WE DID NOT NEED TWO GOTHAM PORTS IN A ROW, TYVM.]

Why? I know it's what you've been wrapped up in for a long, long time now, but isn't it nice knowing there is something worth fighting for out there?

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

[YES YOU DID. :( ]

Already know. Believe. Has to be. Don't need to see it.

Always have hope. Have that, don't need to see.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

[LIESSS.]

Sometimes it's nice to take a step back and have a reminder of why we do what we do.

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

[But you can't ruin it if you don't come in contact with it. :/ ]

Your opinion.

Don't need that. KNOW why.

[He's got plenty of faces that haunt him. He doesn't need the happy things too.]

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

[You're not going to ruin it. :c]

What's wrong?

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

[You don't know thatttt. Superheros have shitty lives, they don't get to be happy. D: ]

Nothing.

Opinion indicates something wrong now? Hasn't changed that significantly.
