I don't need you / but I want to Who: Robins 2 and 3 What: The same thing we do every night, Pinky Where: Same Bat-place When: Same Bat-time
Lina: SO. Local!Robin is totally not used to patrolling on his own this much, but with the Wings hurt and Batman... uh... new... Lina: well, my thinking is he's staying out later and ranging farther than he's ever used to. B| Kai: So maybe Tim runs into him? Or. Hmm. Notices, and just... adjusts to patrol alongside him? not hugely visibly, but only just noticeable Lina: in which case the assumption is pretty negative. B| Kai: Damn inter-Tim politics
Robin II: *swings up and around and starts trying to lose his babysitting shadow. B|* Robin III: *Ah, oops. Spotted. Might as well make this into tag, now. Swings to follow.* Robin II: *ricochets along into Crime Alley, keeping a sharp eye out. His turf. He snaps off the last jumpline and doesn't shoot a new one, opting instead to bounce into an old alley and spring off the walls. Fire escape, laundry line, and he skids 'round the next corner if anything even faster.* Robin III: *Okay, geez, either he has a lot of energy to burn or Tim really managed to piss him off. Not what he intended. Sticks as close as he can, but has to take a different tack with the route since he's not as athletic, relying more on his grapple lines.* Robin II: *rounds another and immediately slips in an empty, broken window. Stick to THIS.* Robin III: *Aaaand... lost him, it seems. He can't see where he went after rounding that corner himself.* Okay. You win. *Said quietly, but clearly, before he grapples up on to the nearest roof to sit.* Robin II: *..... well, that was unexpected. It takes him awhile, a few minutes at least, but eventually he does come up to land behind.* You started it. Robin III: *Faint, wry smile, over his shoulder.* Yeah, I guess I did. Robin II: *cape forward, enclosed.* We'll cover more ground if we split up. Robin III: *Nods, looking forward again.* Yeah, I know. *Pause, thoughtful* How often do you patrol alone, like this? Robin II: *eyelets narrowing. Was he careless?* Often enough. Why, you think I shouldn't? Robin III: *Standing, letting the cape hang open.* Well, if you want to, you can. I just thought it might be a bit... lonely. Without them around. *The Nightwings, and your Batman, he doesn't say.* Robin II: *tch. Eyeroll.* Oh, is that all. *paces forward, coming up alongside. Nudges, neutral, maybe redirecting.* Guess you'd know about that, huh? Robin III: *Hm, that's allowed. For now.* ... I'm not denying that. *Slight quirk of a smile.* Robin II: *Shrug, little smile back. This is startlingly like cheering up any other Bat.* I was gonna swing by Tricorner tonight. Robin III: *Funny how that works.* Would you mind some company? Robin II: *careless half-turn around, back to the street...* I guess I could try it out. *sudden grin.* If you can keep up. Robin III: *Heh, answering grin - smaller, but it's there.* I guess we'll find out. *Grapple line out, and he's firing to swing away already.* If I let you lead. Robin II: *A laugh! And he drops backwards, firing from midair just to be a daredevil about it. It is ON.*
