( It's little more than a quiet exclamation, but it's something like vindication that she wasn't totally imagining the Robin line-up was all linked together.
She figures his statement on the timelines being screwy is an understatement, since boy Robin had said he was from her decade, and girl Robin was from like the 2030's. Alternate realities were a doozy. )

That's what Hollywood's for! But it's not a big deal. I mean, we were wrapping things up as it was, so... wouldn't want to borrow anyone who'd be better off keeping your home safe.

She feels a little unsettled, not sure after the fact she should have admitted as much. It makes her think she may be overstaying her welcome, considering it might be time to rally herself and fly away.
She runs her fingers down the length of her thumb at the thought. )
