SIX. [RL with Elektra]
[Bruce has been settling in well. It's been strange to stay in one place, somewhere he not only doesn't have to work but shouldn't work so as to keep a low profile - and even stranger to live with someone that knows everything about him. Bruce has tried to keep himself busy as well as he could, doing various housework and keeping up with his martial arts skills and meditation. Those are two things he can't afford to fall behind on.
But he's always known that he couldn't stay forever, that there's something he has to do, and he's finally arrived at the time where he can't put it off any longer. He makes his way to Elektra's room when he knows she'll be there, and gives a quiet knock. Without waiting for an answer, he cracks open the door and pokes his head in.]
Can I speak with you?
[He's completely serious, almost grave, an old expression on him; of late there's been a twinge of good humor to everything he does, a subtle lightening in tone. Now he feels himself retreating, reverting to how he was on the run in preparation for what he has to do: leave.]
