The fun lies in me getting away with something. I quite enjoy it.

[ She rolls her shoulders, shrugs. ]

Remember when I spoke to you about magic? It's a secret in my world, mostly, and my division worked in crimes involving magic.

[ as the man stomps over in his big boots, he looks the pinnacle of threatening. red-faced, beer-breathed, with large, bulky shoulders, Larsa is quite sure that he'd give Reddas a run for his money. ]

"Here you are. Thought y'could just run off without a good smack? You gotta lotta nerve, talkin' to your elders like that."

[ wordlessly, Larsa keeps his back to Rika, though puts a hand on her shoulder, to push her away from both of them. ]

Are you saying you're among the delusional?

You can taunt, I'll jus' watch. [And save his ass later.]

Ghost returned with faint smile with one of her own. He sounded proud of his son even if he hadn't been a big part of his life. "That's good."

Time travel is something I've only seen in movies.

Some would. Most wouldn't.

[He steps carefully past a jumble of rocks.]

You said that it was possible to starve them out. They have to leave the person to feed?

I don't know I just wanted it to sound like a counter-point.

Can't see that working out too well for you.

Then next time do not say it.

My sister would no doubt protest. We may be royalty, but that does not mean we are incapable of taking care of ourselves.

I don't really watch movies... it seems like there are always unexpected mistakes coming up, but they get solved in the end, at least. But it's not too reassuring.

People can't always afford to make those mistakes. [ Not in a war. ]

I bet you do. That only makes me less likely to let you.

I guess not, but how are they gonna stop? There's a lot of things to try and account for.

[ She shakes her head. ]

If I had an answer, I'd be able to say.

Nothing. I just- [ How to say it in words that make sense. ]

I wanted to hear you say it. [ Batman would think he was wasting time. Giving the words more power than the meaning they symbolize. But it’s out and hanging there like one of the untouchable trophies in the batcave before he can think to stop it. ]

To fight against crime and corruption and never swerve from the path of justice.

I've been living in the grand old state of Denial for a while now, sure.

Just a suggestion. If you don't, I'm pretty sure she's got other employment she can hit up.

Does this woman have a name?

[ EXPECTING TOO MUCH FROM HIM... ]

This whole logical argument thing, it kind of escapes you sometimes.

Oh? Why not?

Who says I haven't seen it as bad as it can get? [ Because wow he can't let this go now. ]

Just because I'm not old enough to vote doesn't mean I don't know what bad guys can do to kids my age.

That's really quite unaccommodating of you. Regardless. [ Lifting her glass. ] Cheers to a viable plan for lack of boredom.

Gwen. She's relatively new. Hangs out with Arthur a lot, as far as I can tell.

Timesink versus efficiency? Kind of a natural oxymoron.

Iron's pretty inflexible. [ Clink of glasses. ] Thank you. Works better with more than one person anyway.
