"She could well be the one, Ubu."
"It would please me to see that, Master."
"As it would I."
Ra's stood with his back against the guard rail on one side of his private yacht across from his constant companion and bodyguard. As far as Dinah knew he was his head of security, which was actually true, though he was much more than that in the right situation. Bodyguard, butcher, assassin, thug. The shield and the muscle of the Demon. The spare pair of hands at his disposal when he did not wish to get his own dirty. He had even conscripted Ubu to follow Dinah to protect her when he had had to deal with some League matters, or 'business', as he had told her.
As of now though they were between islands and after spotting some dolphins in the water Ra's had offered to stop to allow her to swim with them for a little. He had every intention of joining her, of course, but not before using the opportunity to make sure that all of his myriad plans were proceeding as he had scheduled them. For with the amount of time he had spent with her it had been somewhat of a task to focus on his larger life and ambitions, though he hoped for her to soon be a part of them so that he would not have to continue to work around her for long.
"Has Dusan returned from Damascus yet? I would like to know the status of-"
He paused mid-sentence and glanced over his shoulder as something caught his eye in the water near Dinah.
