I'd had half a thought of putting her in outfits based on known heroes and villains in this world. But that might be a bit down the line because that's probably going to be expensive.
[It's not like Dick tried to be the golden child. He just had the bad (or good) luck to be the first one. And Jason had the bad luck to come into things when Dick was on the outs with Bruce.]
[Which is why Dick rolls his eyes, grabbing the next punch that comes his direction and uses the hold to pull his opponent off balance and drives his knee into the guy's stomach and dropping him.]
And this is why I didn't bring you to the bar near my place.
[ How quickly can he get out of this conversation without jumping out the window? It's what... 20 feet to the window? Maybe the bathroom has a skylight. ]
( because he knew they were going this way, but also knew that jason likes to push it right to the edge of what's an acceptable level of violence for a bar fight? fair and reasonable. he laughs, obnoxious and loud in the way jason does when it's--a genuine laugh, not one he's pushing out for the sake of appearances. dick drops low to get out of a punch, jason dodges to the side and grabs hold of the arm of a man who tries to punch him from behind. flips him over his back and straight into another fight to knock over the two squabbling on the side. )
kon got him back home have i told you how they're both idiots? kon's in love with tim, tim's in love with kon, and i don't know why i know this but they don't
Oh, this has been going on for years at this point, Jaybird. Since before Kon died.
As near as I can tell, the problem is timing. One or both of them have a significant other, so that makes off limits.
It doesn't help that Kon got the Kent good manners worked in and Tim needs a formal invitation and formal declaration of intention to realize somebody is flirting with him.
Also, if this isn't about that, what is it about?
[Don't think he doesn't recognize a dodge when he sees it.]
i wouldn't know, given that was around the time when i was dead. or brain dead.
have you considered sitting them down in a room and telling them? 'tim, kon loves you. not in the friends forever way, in the he wants to hold your hand while watching the sun rise way. kon, tim loves you. in the he's emotionally constipated but very dedicated and really, really wants to hold your hand and let you princess carry him off into the sunset way.'
Yeah, that crisis was...not good. I mean, what crisis is, but still.
Tim freaked out when I told him I already knew Kon was bi. And while that is likely a very me conversation, I'm pretty sure that I'd get two words out before Tim decided he was better off paying me back for my window rather than sit there for it.
[How had he forgotten? It's been a LONG few days.]
I mean, I'm not going to say that I'm thrilled about it. Or about Tim having nearly outted himself with that message. It says a lot when I'm being the subtle one.
