Gotham County Courthouse, Gotham City
The proceedings are solemn, ritualized: hundreds of people come through these chambers every day, and it's nothing new for them. But for Mar'i 'Anders' and Dick Grayson, the signing of these documents is another milestone in their relationship as father and daughter.
The hearing is brief, and Dick makes sure to allow Mar'i time to read the documents for herself. He wants her to be fully aware of what's happening, to make sure this is what she wants before she puts pen to paper.
I, Richard John Grayson, being of sound mind and body, do hereby declare Mar'i Anders as my legal and lawful daughter and heir. This declaration is made with the full knowledge and consent of said ward, Mar'i Anders.
