he'll get them some snacks too. is Damian still fixed on a vegan diet?

would be like to go with him .ᐣ

// it was because I did not eat. Dick is me I am Dick.

that's why he is upset. what are you doing at the hospital?

if you were any other kid I'd be unhappy about that too. but Damian, school is good for you. ( clicking his teeth, he turns in front of the other. ) alright, so why did you. help me understand, maybe I can talk to him.

// enaakku talaivali mikavum mocamaaka ullatu

if it was a real argument I would have called Damian a gremlin.

family roast.

good to hear it. how was the holidays? I missed the big day—— though I can't imagine I was the only one. ( he misses Damian. he'd admit it more openly— as Dick does. but he holds off on it, rather asking how he's been. catch up a little and double check he's being looked after... +

we're good, Bruce. we're not arguing.

( sighing. he knows. his only solution he can think of is gently ruffling the smaller's hair. ) I know. and I am doing just fine. but you, on the other hand, I hope are getting well fed. you're taller every time I see you.

... it was a little ridiculous.

that's hardly a fair statement, Damian. he'd just be happy to know I'm fed and healthy.

I was suffering amnesia after taking a bullet to the head. what do you want .ᐣ.ᐣ

neither. I chose this I make it work. no one else's problem but mine. I can still take you out for ice cream or lunch, though—— and it's not putting me out.

I'm not that broke. money is just tight as usual. I've found a balance.

hey. you don't owe me anything for that... but sure. alright alright. I'll pay you back another time in my own way.

I was shot in the head and became this... I don't know. I thought I was being tough or something I still am not sure.

I do! there's this nice sandwich place that's open super late. despite me telling the guy to close doors so he isn't robbed. he gives me a free meal sometimes.

really? no, no let me pay for half. that, I can afford.

I SAID——

I don't want to talk about it.

no. no, we are not calling me Ric.

broke to broke communication says we put our funds together for a pizza.

again .ᐟ.ᐣ

Damian, don't you dare.

I eat out! on patrol!

I have been broke since I became Nightwing, Arsenal. I mean, I'm grateful you think I could just change that overnight.

exactly.

this little shit is just announcing my business.

.ᐣ.ᐣ.ᐣ I EAT

I blame the TBI for that.

I have a hard time believing that was a complete accident.

I am rich. in friendships. ... :D

I can afford straws and common sense is free, thank you .ᐟ.ᐟ

I cannot believe he just called me poor like that. over STRAWS

that's classist, Damian. you can't just say that.

we don't need a scientist it's common sense.

it has two. you cannot change my mind.

so then how many holes does those glass things have, Damian.

that's a good one, Arsenal.

if it had one hole one end would be closed off. like those what'chamccallits... things used in science experiments. those glass tubes.

speaking of Batman's utility belt—— is no one concerned that he keeps his candy in the pocket right beside his flash-bangs or...

you should, it would be hilarious.

two holes, Damian. one on either end. a tube has two holes.

like you're any better .ᐣ.ᐣ

straws have two holes, thank you.

oh yeah. he gives me that blank scowl and then I call him old. it's like a ritual, really.

yeah. he hates it.

(sigh) I'll get my gear.
