[After a moment:]

I mean, you're an important part of it. You shouldn't discount that.

[unpredicktable]

Nightwing's kind of more of an... underground hero. Not much for bringing people hope if they don't know who you are.

[uncurtained]

Oh. So it's just a target, then?

[It's a little bit teasing.]

[unpredicktable]

Absolutely. All black color scheme? Hey, I've got to give them something to work with.

[uncurtained]

[There's a laugh, though it's small.]

How generous of you.

[unpredicktable]

Thanks. [ there's a beat ] ... sorry for going all preachy on you.

[uncurtained]

No, it's... nice to keep in mind. I think I get what you mean.

[...]

Did you get one of the DVDs Zero picked this week?

[unpredicktable]

[ he blinks at the subject change and... shrugs, looking away. ]

Yeah.

[uncurtained]

[She pauses, wondering if she's stumbled onto something painful, but... She moves onto the point she wanted to make regardless.]

Me, too. It was... nice to see. It was like a reminder of how good things can be, you know? I think it must be a little bit like the reason you all wear those symbols. So - I get it.

[unpredicktable]

[ that's fine he smiles at her statement ]

... Yeah? I'm glad.

[uncurtained]

Yeah. It was... from when I was a kid. I've thought about that day since then, but thinking about it is different than seeing it, you know? And feeling it.

[unpredicktable]

So... good feeling?

[uncurtained]

Yeah. It was... a bad time for me overall, but - there were good times, too.

[She smiles a little as she remembers.]

There was this day where I woke up and I smelled pancakes cooking. I was probably ten. I came downstairs, and Dad seemed... almost normal. He was making breakfast for all of us, and he let me help him. The radio was on, and my brother, sister and I were all singing along while we helped. It's pretty simple, but seeing it again, it's like - I forgot how much one good thing could mean in the midst of all that, you know?

[unpredicktable]

[ he listens quietly as she speaks, and his smile is fond and a little sad, but it's there. ]

... Yeah. I do. Sort of the same thing with this place, right? [ he looks up at the bookshelves ] Little moments like that help a lot.

[uncurtained]

Yeah. Honestly... Without people like you, Junpei and Higekiri, I don't know if I would have been able to deal with this, like, at all.

[It's said with a soft smile.]

[unpredicktable]

[ dick's grin turns. amused ]

My list is pretty much the same people. [ same circle?? same circle ] But-- seriously, I'm glad I helped.

[uncurtained]

There are a few more I could probably add. Seriously, I've been... really lucky.

[...]

Dick?

[unpredicktable]

[ ? ]

Yes?

[uncurtained]

[She hesitates for a long moment, looking up at him with some mix of vulnerability and desire, before she closes the distance between them to kiss him.]

[unpredicktable]

[ it takes him by surprise for a moment before he kisses back, raising a hand up to her neck ]

[uncurtained]

[She moves her hands to his face as she deepens the kiss, sighing softly in pleasure. Still, after a few moments, she’s leaning back.]

Just, you know. A thank you.

[unpredicktable]

[ he blinks a bit, bringing a hand to his mouth and then laughing softly ]

I could stand being thanked like that more often. [ it's teasing. ]

[uncurtained]

I bet you say that to everyone here.

[It’s teasing right back. Normally it’d be ‘to all the girls’, but she accepts how aggressively bi he is!!]

[unpredicktable]

Only the ones I like.

[ he's AGGRESSIVELY bi, fuck you dc ]

[uncurtained]

[In the same teasing tone:]

Which is everyone...?
