Traveling

[delphic_child]

Even after her conversation with Dick, packing took less than thirty minutes. She traveled for a year with next to nothing. Keepsakes kept safe by Donna, a full set of make-up, and a cheesy imitation Batgirl costume are all she's added to her meager belongings. It all fits in a single suitcase. With it in tow, she sets out to find a handful of

Bette nods, squeezing Lilith's hand back in return.

"Can you talk about it or is it a big secret?"

The smile is creeping back onto her face.

The reality of Titans East is nothing more than an idea and a conversation held in the midst of a wedding reception. It isn't her place to speak of it openly. Not yet.

"Not a big secret. Just..." She looks for the right words. "Some family business that can't wait. I'll be back on the 12th for the day. You and I have a date."

"Do we?"

There is a small, but very true, smile at that. "What are we doing?"

It's sort of like a story or something. She has no idea why being with Lilith makes her feel like a little kid in some ways. Where as Lilith being able to read thoughts makes a lot of people more uncomfortable, it allows Bette to act as she'd really like. No facade and sometimes that means she seems very, very young.

It's one of the many reasons Lilith is so fond of her.

"You and I have reservations at the San Francisco Tennis Club," she states.

It's only the largest tennis recreational facility on the west coast.

"Really?"

As if Bette couldn't get in when she wanted anyways... but still. "It'll be awesome. I can't wait."

Another reason she likes Lilith - she makes an awesome tennis partner.

Bette probably has an executive membership. Lilith? She had to haggle for a space. It was well worth the surprise though. "You'll have to loan me a racket."

"I don't think that'll be a problem."

Bette bounces a bit for a few moments with the anticpiation.

"Okay." There is a pause, "You want dinner?"

[delphic_child]

She laughs. "Yeah. Dinner sounds good. My treat. You pick a place and we'll go."

[_bird_of_flame_]

"Really?"

Bette chuckles a bit and grabs Lilith's hand and pulls on her a bit, "Let's get dressed up."

[delphic_child]

With a smile on her face, she lets Bette lead the way.

What's one more night in the company of a friend? The east coast can wait a couple more hours.
