[curled up on his bedding, not sleeping, he's done to much of that since they left him alone down in his cage, but he doesn't have much will to do anything else at the moment]

[Rattles Tim's cage, suddenly.]

[redbirdonglass]

[gasps and jumps, sitting up suddenly and looking around, clearly startled, though he manages to regain some composure before looking up at Jason] What do you want now?

[deadbirdwalking]

Lots of things. Gotham cleaned up, Bruce's acknowledgement, a cigarette...

At the moment, though, I'll settle for a scream.

[redbirdonglass]

[snorts and settles into a more comfortable sitting position]

Terribly sorry, but I'm afraid not exactly feeling accommodating at the moment, perhaps another time...

[deadbirdwalking]

Don't worry. I can fix that.

[Jason unlatches Tim's cage, and steps inside. If Tim tries to rush him, he'll find Jason is much, much stronger than he looks.]

[redbirdonglass]

[Tim isn't about to pretend he's stronger, or more capable than he is, rushing Jason wouldn't help him any. He snorts slightly though, turning his back on Jason in at least a token act of defiance]

[deadbirdwalking]

Y'know, I was actually sorta set to like you guys, just on principle after the mess with your jackass Bruce.

Then you started throwing your weight around and acting like you ran the Hub. You understand why we took exception?

[redbirdonglass]

[wrinkles his nose slightly]

Because you are childish and easily offended?

[deadbirdwalking]

[Cuffs Tim around the head, hard.]

'Cause you're not any better than us, but you act like you are. You think you can get Steph skinned over some arrogant little shit just because he's 'your kind'.

[redbirdonglass]

[He moves with the blow, and blinks rapidly, a bit dizzy from it]

This place was supposed to be in truce. She shouldn't have attacked him in the first place. He sought us as allies, we acted as such.

[deadbirdwalking]

He ran crying to the big kids for help after his being a dumbass got him in trouble.

[He wanted to smack Kon upside the head, so he's assuming that Steph was likewise provoked.]

[redbirdonglass]

He'd only just arrived here. We're typically supposed to make allowances for that sort of ignorance.

[deadbirdwalking]

You're confusing ignorance with stupidity. Guess which pisses me off more?

And then there's the fact that Steph makes me looks like I've got the patience of a fucking saint.

[redbirdonglass]

Ignorance being the lack of knowledge. He didn't know anything about this place.

So I should count my blessings when it's her turn?

[deadbirdwalking]

Didn't know, and wouldn't listen.

Oh, yeah. You're lucky she listens to Damian. Might get ugly otherwise.

[redbirdonglass]

Mmhm.

So I should be afraid of you because you don't listen to Damian...? I should expect today to get 'ugly'? [sighs softly, apparently unimpresssed, though his shoulders tighten nervously]
