[Dick still looks, as Costigan so eloquently put it, pretty beat to shit. Also, angry. Quite angry.]

Nice to know the track record of one horrible thing happening after another followed me here too.

[Private to Tim]

You saw.

[Private to Steph]

You okay?

Where are you?

[Private to Costigan]

... NEVERMIND

Trouble tends to find me whether or not I invite it.

[Private]

[And the smile drops a bit.] No. One of the new arrivals is someone from back home.

[Private]

Quite a number of those make appearances from time to time. The Joker certainly proved enough trouble for me.

How is Tim handling it?

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

... Not well. Not terribly either, but... this one is sort of a sore spot.

[Private]

[championoftime]

[That's good to hear, though he'll definitely have to talk to Tim.] What of you, then? This is a place where one really must keep themselves collected, given the menagerie of unseemly characters we've been provided to tend to.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

[Dick kind of considers the question for a minute.] I'm okay. More or less, anyway.

[Private]

[championoftime]

More or less is better than not at all. But if you do feel an issue you wish to discuss, feel free to come to me. I already regret that Tim was forced to lash out in his pent up frustration and I would despise it if someone else in his life were to succumb to similar pressure.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Don't worry Doc, it'll take a little more pushing to get me to breaking point.

But thanks for the offer. Seriously. Nice to know Tim's got someone else looking out for him, too.

[Private]

[championoftime]

He works very hard and takes quite a bit of responsibility. [He worries too much responsibility at times, but Tim would argue with him.]

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

That's Tim for you. [You and him both. Dick's still trying to get over how Bruceish he is now. :\]
