[Dick doesn't really want to talk about the breach. He's been through enough of them already that being a semi trigger happy fed with a taste for justice isn't that weird, even if it's always unsettling to have all the extra memories floating around in your head.

The more pressing matter right now is:]

Has anyone seen Sara since the breach ended?

[Private to Rorschach]

We should talk. [It's a conversation they probably should have had a long time ago, but. Better late than never?]

[ooc: I promise I'm getting to my backtags/new posts I should tag into, I just wanted to put this up before time got too far away from me. <3]

[HE DOESN'T HAVE TO IF HE DOESN'T WANT TO. :/ ]

Won't be.

[Because he doesn't know what he'd say. Because if he keeps denying it as a possibility he won't ever have to face it. Or deal with it.]

[batmanschmatman]

[Rorschach that's not healthy. :|]

How do you know?

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

[It's like you don't know your inmate at all, Grayson. :/ ]

Isn't way the Barge works.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

[He just has hope you've been making some kind of progress, you've been here for like a year. :C]

That's exactly how the Barge works. The Admiral loves throwing stuff at us we don't really want to deal with.

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

[One step forward, two steps back, and only occasionally the other way around. Siiiigh.]

Still have a choice. Still have that freedom.

[And okay, so they both know he wouldn't ignore Dan, but that's not the point. He would at least have the option.]

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

So you still care about him? [The faster you answer, the faster this conversation is over. B(]

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

Not type to indulge in sentimentality, Richard.

Was partner. Used to be a friend.

Don't see relevance of question.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

If you didn't care, you wouldn't be acting so evasive about this.

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

If I answer, you'll stop prying?

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

It's kind of my job to push your buttons a little, but yes. If you answer I'll drop the Dan thing. [For now. :V]

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

Doubt that.

[But, a couple minutes later:]

Were partners a long time. Difficult to break loyalties.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

[You're the best. c:]

That's okay, you know.

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

[Pssh he just wants Grayson to stop asking about it. :( ]

What is.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

[He'll believe what he wants. B(]

Caring about him, even after everything that happened.

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

[Awww, Grayson.]

Bad practice. Disavowing actions but accepting individual. Too much like compromise. We are our actions. They define us.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Yeah, and caring about someone means you're human and have empathy. That's a good thing. Hell, caring about people even when you don't agree with them is a really good thing.

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

It's a weakness.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

It makes you human. And it's not a weakness.

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

Your opinion.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

No, it's not.

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

Welcome to prove otherwise.
