A little birdy on my shoulder

[7_seas_czar]

As Arthur walks through thr door holding a bag full of Dim Sum. Some part of him remembered that Dinah's gone vegetarian, though he couldn't remember when that happened, exactly or the resons why. While he has most of his feelings and memories back from what Zee did to him, everything after that is still a blur. There is a barrier between him

The first sign of Dinah Arthur sees is her back, as she walks backwards through a door marked SHOP PERSONNEL ONLY.

"Eddie, you're a genius. Do I tell you that often enough? Because you are. Genius." She taps the sign on the door with one finger. "Right here. Genius at Work. You bet." She closes the door and turns around, smiling when she sees who's here. "Arthur! You come bearing food."

But that's not the only reason she heads over to give him a hug.

"I even remembered you're a vegetarian now." Arthur wraps his arms around Dinah in a way which is somehow stoic and detached and yet all encompassing at the same time. It is a skill you learn as a king, almost certainly.

Arthur gives good hug. "Yeah, but if you wanted sashimi, I wouldn't preach at you." She releases him from her embrace and studies his expression briefly. "Last time you brought me food, it was to talk about you and Zee."

"I'd like to hear what that conversation was about."

The food is put down on the nearby counter for something to do, as he's suddenly back in deep water. "I'm deep in the currents, Dinah. I believe I have all of my memories and feelings back but they still don't feel like they're mine."

"It might be shock."

"Gotcha." Dinah helps herself to a spring roll. "But you're still not okay with her seeing someone else. Gonna have to deal with that, Arthur. Otherwise you're just gonna wallow around in the broody pond."

"Hnnn."

Arthur takes a spring roll of his own, taking a bite of it, "Can't have too many people brooding at the same time, can we?"

[_black_canary_]

Her cheerful declaration is, simply, "Nope!"

Once the last of the spring roll is swallowed, she explains, "See, if there's too much broodiness, it throws the Earth off its axis, and then we're all running around dealing with magnetic disturbances, human sacrifices, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!"

"You're just anti-marshmallow."

See? Arthur knows a pop culture reference or two.

"What if I don't brood? What if I'm stoically silent?"
