No, not really. Got a letter from Aikawa and Hope, but they don’t say much new. Aikawa said Nightman knows about the concept of revival, so he might be playing with expectations.
Mm. Honestly, between you and I, I don't particularly care about using it for myself. As you said, I didn't lose anyone.
But I don't think putting it to a vote would be good for anyone. I don't want us arguing about who deserves it most and rehashing old arguments. It's better for it to be the decision of two people rather than someone feeling as though everyone has favorites.
[He's conceding? It's fine. Harrow is out here ordering plain toast.] Well, you and Aquarius have a lot in common. [They have so much in common including the peckish bird only-eating-toast dislike of eating.]
Do you eat meat? If I got you a cheeseburger, would you puke?
[It's mostly teasing. But he would do it. Hmmm. He will get a pizza. Maybe Harrow will share if it's something only slightly communal.]
They didn't get rid of siblings, but I'm an only child. And I didn't grow up with other children around, for the most part. So I hardly care for childish games.
[Damn. He looks like he jokingly thought she was going to wow him with some kind of really controversial situation. Boo. (no)]
Your early childhood socialization. [As in "oh no."] Believe it or not, I was an only child for a long time. [Is this why they get on each other's nerves?] Until the rich white guy happened.
Yeah. B. He's the guy with the savior complex who adopted me off the street after my mom overdosed.
[Pizza is maybe a good buffer for controversial stuff. Like dead moms. Here is there pizza. She will have to pick off the pepperonis because they will be too spicy, but the cheese is good.]
Has a huge, old, Poe-looking mansion estate sitting on a hill outside of Gotham.
That's fine. [About Poe.] Can't say I ever knew the guy. Before my time. But he'd probably get a real kick out of you, I'd think.
[(poe voice) harrow has the right aesthetic]
Yeah. [He doesn't want to admit it because he spent the entire time still pretending he won't mix Bruce and Batman up, give it away.] He'd probably like you too actually. He can make bad jokes sometimes, but when he's working, he's very no nonsense. Likes to be rational, logical.
...Hm. Well, I shall take that as a compliment. I suppose if he takes in children he is a decent sort. [she's unaware she makes them dress up like bats and fight crime :( ]
I always thought my cavalier would like you. You both make very bad jokes and you are both reckless and stubborn. [this is not a compliment at all.]

Feel like eating?
[He starts walking in the direction of the restaurant.]
no subject
[she will follow him. she's not being difficult, she just doesn't like eating.]
What is it? Did you learn something?
no subject
[He knows so many people who don’t eat. Sheesh.]
No, not really. Got a letter from Aikawa and Hope, but they don’t say much new. Aikawa said Nightman knows about the concept of revival, so he might be playing with expectations.
I’m not here to waste our time, for the record.
no subject
[she raises an eyebrow.]
no subject
[Gestures at the two of them and then at the restaurant as they get there.
That’s all he says though.]
Decided who you’re going to pick yet?
no subject
no subject
[They agree on something, wow.]
It’s your ticket.

[It doesn’t sound like he’s making an accusation.
They have come full circle from their first conversation maybe. Getting to sit in the restaurant and gently bicker.]
Like I said, it’s your tickets. The heads up is appreciated, but I don’t think it dodged the arguing completely. People are people.
no subject
Maybe I would still be generous, but I don't know.
no subject
[He gestures.]
Sit. You are now forced to endure my company while mediocre food which will not make up for it is involved. So pick something you want to eat.
no subject
[she will sit, however. and order something like plain toast.]
no subject
[He's conceding? It's fine. Harrow is out here ordering plain toast.] Well, you and Aquarius have a lot in common. [They have so much in common including the peckish bird only-eating-toast dislike of eating.]

[It's mostly teasing. But he would do it. Hmmm. He will get a pizza. Maybe Harrow will share if it's something only slightly communal.]
no subject
[she makes a slight face.]
I eat meat, but not in portions like that. So yes, I would probably puke. [anyway be prepared to be disappointed when she thinks it's spicy.]
no subject
[He laughs a little.] I get it. D doesn't eat meat at all, so I'm used to it. [Being rejected for his terrible American portion habits, he means.
Also, can't believe Harrow is just me.]
I'll do you one favor of your choosing if you try some pizza.
no subject
[she's just being a brat though she will try pizza when it comes. probably.]
no subject
[Not said in the way that he's great, but in the way that she gets to twist the arm of someone completely obnoxious.]
You must not have any siblings? They get rid of those in the future?
no subject
[no, she knows exactly what he means.]
They didn't get rid of siblings, but I'm an only child. And I didn't grow up with other children around, for the most part. So I hardly care for childish games.

[but she's listening.]
He's the bat person? [she knows it's batman.]
no subject
[(poe voice) harrow has the right aesthetic]
Yeah. [He doesn't want to admit it because he spent the entire time still pretending he won't mix Bruce and Batman up, give it away.] He'd probably like you too actually. He can make bad jokes sometimes, but when he's working, he's very no nonsense. Likes to be rational, logical.

no subject
He laughs a little.] It's... a love-hate relationship. [He seems amused by the last part, even if he pretends to try being offended.]
Wow, thanks. "Cavalier"? Like... a knight?
