[Whether or not Tim has been watching the security feeds in the Tower in order to avoid running into Carrie in the public areas (there are NO cameras in the PRIVATE areas, except his own secret lab sections) and, perhaps, picked up on her sudden habit of wearing civilian clothing rather than the Robin uniform, he's here now. Quite possibly drawn by the smell of... whatever that is bubbling away in the pot.

He approaches with customary quietude to lean over her shoulder, peer into the pot, wrinkle his nose and ask:] What is that?

girlyboywonder January 21 2011, 16:19:22 UTC

[She'd like to tell herself that mostly she was just preoccupied with her concoction, but she's not sure she'd have heard Tim if she was listening for him. Either way there's a startled little jolt, and wide eyes suddenly turn onto Tim with a "caught in action" sort of guilt.]

Uh. Soup. [a quick pause, then an amendment:] It is now, anyway.

123youreit January 21 2011, 16:26:25 UTC

[Eyebrow raise.] Do I want to know what it started life as?

girlyboywonder January 21 2011, 16:32:29 UTC

[Glancing back down at her now-it's-a-soup, giving it an experimental sort of stir. It gives a disgruntled bubble back.]

...Probably not.

123youreit January 21 2011, 23:52:26 UTC

[W...ow, and he thought Bruce was bad at cooking (never accept tuna sandwiches from him).]

I think it might be dead.

girlyboywonder January 22 2011, 00:15:10 UTC

Hope it is. Figure it'd be cruel, otherwise.

[...and suddenly, it's taking pretty much all of her attention. Because really, this monstrosity on the stove is a whole lot easier to look at than Tim just now. Should she apologize? She's pretty sure it wouldn't work on Batman. Maybe on Tim, though...?]

123youreit January 22 2011, 01:35:30 UTC

Maybe you should call it quits and order take out instead.

[He does APPEAR to be all amicable and such, rather than continuing any outwardly annoyed behaviour, after all.]

girlyboywonder January 22 2011, 01:46:11 UTC

[She watches it just a couple seconds longer, like she's waiting for some wondrous message in the bubbles. No good, though. Eventually she sighs, aiming a hesitant glance over at him.]

Hey, Tim...?

123youreit January 22 2011, 01:57:20 UTC

[Meeting that glance levelly.]

Hm?

girlyboywonder January 22 2011, 02:00:25 UTC

I'm -- really sorry. [it sounds weak, but she's not sure she can do any better. ...aannnddd the floor is a lot more interesting all of the sudden.]

123youreit January 22 2011, 02:20:14 UTC

[Okay. Serious and sincere voice time.] I don't blame you, Carrie. I know how hard it is to say no to Batman, even if it isn't him.

girlyboywonder January 22 2011, 02:59:57 UTC

[And there's the main issue of the day: him. The forgiveness just clouds her face a little more, but she nods. It should be better, right? She said sorry, he doesn't blame her, move on?

a little more quietly than strictly appropriate for the question:] Chinese or pizza?

laaate 123youreit January 28 2011, 02:18:38 UTC

[She's still learning, who to trust and how to be Robin, and everyone makes mistakes of judgement - and every Robin listens to Batman, right? At least most of the time. So yeah, he forgives her and doesn't blame her, but it might be an idea not to push his trust for a while.

In the meantime, eyebrows are being raised with a tiny quirk of a smile.] Chinese, I think, unless you really want to see my weird taste in pizza.

nonsense, there is no such thing!! girlyboywonder January 28 2011, 02:25:04 UTC

Couldn't be much worse'n my parents'. [She makes a face as she says it, though -- familiarity doesn't make it good.

Pulling out her communicator (isn't it nice how you can do anything with a network connection, even 20 years back in the past?), typing out an order... and directing an awkward sidelong glance over at Tim. She's pretty sure there's still more she wants to say, she's just not 100% on how to get it out.]

123youreit January 28 2011, 02:30:33 UTC

Canadian bacon and artichokes. [He answers matter of factly. REALLY, CARRIE, ARE YOU SURE YOUR PARENTS MATCHED THAT LEVEL OF WEIRD? And just where does Tim get his pizza that he can order that kind of thing... anyway.

He's willing to just wait and give her the space she needs to get around to saying anything more. Ordering take out and just watching some tv or movies seems like a good way to do that.] Or kung po chicken, if we're having Chinese.

girlyboywonder January 28 2011, 02:33:50 UTC

[what. okay. Turning up the face-making dial from 1 to 5 at that one.]

Kung po it is, spud. [half of a thoughtful pause] Still, though. As long as you don't add sardines and white garlic sauce, I figure there's hope for you.
