Re: wayne manor: destiny/steph
[She chuckles quietly.] Way to put things into perspective. [She dons a serious tone, frowning dramatically and clearly poking fun at him with good nature. Fists resting on her hips.] Yes, Stephanie, you along with six billion other people want to have someone care about them. You are Not Special. [She knows that isn't really what he's implying, but she likes to deflect rather than face her problems head on. It's one of the reasons that her marriage fell apart. It's one of the reasons she probably doesn't have very many people to turn to anymore. Her fists drop, and she chuckles quietly.]
You're a little hard to get rid of. [Deflect again, because clearly he can tell that she appreciates him a lot. She doesn't step away, though her hand drops to her side when he takes the sunglasses from her. A scoff, something amused and warm, and another roll of her eyes.] I like to think I'm not like most people. [And then, a look of abject horror on her face, though the corners of her mouth twitch slightly.] You wouldn't do that to a marshmallow tower, would you?
