Tim could not say how many hours had passed by with him sitting in the position that he was. Upon a chair, leaning forward, with his elbows over his knees, and his hands clasped together behind his head. It was not a comfortable position, but neither was the decision that he had made for himself. Revealing his intentions to Stephanie had been one thing, but this.. this was to be something else altogether.
Because now he was going to have to tell the Batman himself that he was out.
...At least, as Robin. But that was one point that he would not touch on. Not yet, at least.
With a long, deep sigh, he finally leaned back into the chair, but the motion did nothing to calm his nerves. Before him on the ground, neatly folded, was the cape and the mask he had worn as Robin. At least, one of the masks. His other he had given to Stephanie. Which may not have been his best idea ever, but if he was going to give up his mantle, he could not think of anyone better to gift his mask to than the girl he loved, whom he had only ever really met because of being Robin.
A slight shifting in the shadows brought him out of his reverie. It was not something that most people would have ever noticed, but he had been in this cave and worked with Batman long enough to detect the movement.
"I can't do it anymore", Tim said straight to the point before any other words were exchanged.
