[ Gar's come in a little unceremoniously, going for cheerfulness and, likely as not, missing it fantastically. ]
Heard you were around. How's it going?
[ He's got two Coke-a-Cola's, and offers one to Dick with a small smile. ]
Reply
I'm okay.
[He doesn't elaborate more than that and shrugs, as if whatever put him in the infirmary was no big deal.]
You? Everything's fine? [He sincerely wants to know -- he hasn't talked to Gar in a while, just like he hasn't talked to most Titans, and he doesn't want to miss too much. And since he's stuck in the Tower for a bit, he can at least make sure he asks people how they are.]

[ He pulled up a chair and sat down, cracking open his own soda. ] I got 'ported out for a couple of days. Spent a year back home.
Reply
You still just look old, [Dick says, obviously joking.] Except you're even older now. Heh.
[He rubs the back of his neck.] How disastrous was that year? [A pause.] Did you remember the City while you were there?
Reply
It was pretty disastrous. [ He leans forward in his seat and looks at the floor, quickly rubbing a hand over his face. ] And no. Of course I didn't remember anything.

You're not furry and animal-y so it could have been worse? [He winces at his own words.] Uh, forget I ever said that. Are you from when Tim is, now?
Reply
Tim's still ahead of me. I just went back for the Crisis and the aftermath, basically. Kon's not even back, where I come from.
Reply
At least you know he comes back.
[He pauses, and uses the time to open his coke and take a few sips.] Well. Welcome back either way. Uh -- if you're happy you're back. If you wanted to stay over there then it sucks and I'm sorry.
[Another pause during which something else crosses his mind.] Oh man. Does the whole timeline fuck up means you broke up with Kitty?
Reply
At this rate... I guess I could have it either way. [ Then he amends. ] Well. Mostly. I don't know.
[ And then, yes, that. ] Yeah. We're... Done. Temporarily. Taking a break. I don't really... Yeah. I don't get it, but yeah.

He likes Kitty. There aren't that many people here he likes at all, if he's honest with himself, and he got attached to Kitty pretty fast.
He shouldn't be feeling that Gar being ported out sucks because of the effect it's gonna have about whether he's seeing Kitty as often or not, but he does. He's going to say it's because he's still dizzy-ish and can't think straight, but really, it's because he's selfish.]
Temporarily for how long? Did you break up? [He sighs and feels like crossing his arm on his chest. He doesn't.]
This sucks.
Reply
She broke up with me. I... Guess I can't blame her. I don't know for how long and, yes, this sucks.
Reply
She's still a honorary Titan. [NO DISCUSSION.]
Is anything else going badly in your life? [He sounds a bit more compassionate, now. It's starting to sound like nothing at all is going well for Gar and it makes Dick uncomfortable.
Because he considers Gar to be his friend, and also because he feels he's missing a lot. (And here comes the guilty feeling at wanting to move back into the Tower.)]
Reply
Life's good.
He grins, but it's more of a haha-fuck-my-life grin.]
Pretty much everything's shit.
Reply
Right now, it really feels like he should be saying something to make Gar feel better, but he has nothing.]
And if someone dares say it can't get worse, it's gonna get worse. [He makes a face.]
Reply
[ He notices that face, Dick, and raises you an attempt at a comforting smile. ] Don't worry about it, alright? All my crap doesn't have to be anybody else's problem.
Reply
Yeah well you should also have had plenty of time to learn that when people care about other people, they tend to care when their friends got problems.
You know. Just sometimes. It happens.
It might even be why... [uhmmm, he loses his flow for a second and has to remind himself about what he was saying.] Why you're here. To check up on me 'cause you care.
Or I hope. 'Cause if you're here to take away the DS, I am really not lending it to you.
