[Slightly Backdated Spam for Babs]

[Dick knew, logically, that he had to go home eventually, that Rorschach was right about needing to go back to make sure they really had actually accomplished something, and as much as he understood what everyone was saying and did want to go home, he was still sort of afraid. Which seems really ridiculous, considering, well. Everything, but there it was, and he felt sort of ridiculous telling anyone about it.

Which meant he felt even more ridiculous when he found himself hesitating outside the door to Barbara's cabin, and eventually just gave up and knocked on the door.]

[Public, Present Dated]

I'm going home for a couple days to make sure the Admiral actually followed through on our deal. I don't plan on being gone for too long, but we all know how reliable the Admiral is with this kind of thing, so. Hopefully I'll see you all again in about a week.

[Private to Rorschach]

I know this must seem kind of scary, to be in charge of someone else's well being and everything, but I wasn't kidding when I said I thought you'd be a good warden. I've got a lot of faith that you'll be able to help him, so try not to be too hard on yourself. [And don't fuck it up. :V]

I'll be back soon. I'm asking Tim to keep an eye on Jinks while I'm gone, but if you want to come over to raid the kitchen, try picking the lock instead of breaking down the door, unless you want to just ask the Admiral to fix it after you leave.

[Private to Tim]

Any chance you can check on Jinks for me while I'm gone? I'd bring him with me, but I'm not actually sure where I'm living right now and I don't know how Alfred would feel about needing to pick up after a cat while I apartment hunt.

[ooc: And Dick will be on hiatus checking in on everything back home until about the 11th or 12th! He's in his room if anyone wants to spam him.]

[Barbara is tinkering with one of Dick's gifts when she hears the knock - a little clockwork robot. Unfortunately, that means she's on the floor.

She really needs to finish rigging the door to open remotely.]

Be there in a second!

[It doesn't take too long to pull herself into her chair, really, but time wasted is time lost. So she's quick about wheeling her way to the door and undoing the locks.

A surprised grin lights her face when she sees Dick.]

Hey there.

[batmanschmatman]

[Either way, Dick doesn't have anywhere else to be, really, so he waits patiently for her to open the door and... almost chickens out on actually saying what he came here to say.

It's been strange, readapting to having one of your best friends around, someone you used to be in love with, and he knows he's done a less than stellar job of it, from time to time. But he's trying, and this sort of feels like a step forward.]

Hi. Are you busy?

[bodilesswarrior]

[It feels strange, to shake her head. At home, she rarely got a spare moment. She's still adjusting to that, and she's not sure if she ever will - if she even should.]

Not really.

[She backs up, pulling open the door. She's still smiling, but there's concern in her gaze.]

Something on your mind?

[batmanschmatman]

[He steps inside, looking around, and using it as an excuse to not say anything for a long moment, weighing how he wanted to say this.]

Yeah. [He turned around, careful to keep his expression casual rather than nervous or troubled.]

I think I'm going home for a while.

[Dean gets the message along with the rest of the network, but he's never been great at goodbyes - however temporary, even though temporary in his case has an unfortunately consistent way of going permanent - and he's never been great at words.

So instead, have someone knocking on the door, Dick, and standing with his mouth wide open on the other side of the peephole because he can.]

Alfred would kill you if fur wound up on his furniture. [Which is his way of saying duh of course I'll watch your freaky cat who seems to know me.]

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Exactly. Try not to get into too much trouble until I get back?

Scout's honor.

Pretend I was a scout.

[wemaketheworld]

Not afraid.

[More sulky than it isn't; okay, maybe he's concerned.]

Said would try. Has...potential.

Have own kitchen to raid, Grayson.

[Your food isn't always his MAIN goal...]

But will take under advisement.

[Yeah, don't worry. Your door will be intact when you get back.]

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Good. Try not to get into too much trouble until I get back.

[He's teasing! He trusts you.]

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

[Grunt. Yeah, okay, fine. He'll TRY.

No promises.]
