Still nursing a persistent hangover from last night's bout of drinking with Jason, Dick was happy for the notable lack of sunshine and general grey overshadow of the rain clouds while he was out in the garden setting up an area for the kids, well, teenagers, and whoever else might call by. Today they were an 'open house'.
But it was Tim's thing, so Dick was taking a back seat, just pleased to see his adoptive little Brother actively involving himself with people his own age, as socialising wasn't generally something Robin's had a lot of time for back home.
He finished lighting a few bottled candles, and eyed some of the food they'd already put out. What was it Roy swore by? Tomato juice, celery, a raw egg and vodka? Running a hand through his hair he played out the risks of hangover vs. the salmonella he'd no doubt get from the unpasteurised egg. Ultimately, the headache and feeling of being about to throw up won out against the fever and definite throwing up. Narrowly. Ugh.
Massaging his temples, Dick blew out his lighter and went back inside.

Jilly was watching the kids move around the house, sitting back in sort of a relaxed lounge and sketching them when they stood still longer than two seconds. She was already good at capturing the gesture of a figure with a few strokes of charcoal, but more practice certainly never hurt.
She smiled up at Dick when he came in, "Kind of a moot point to ask if you're feeling better, huh?"
Dick smiled a little sheepishly. "Yeah..." He took a precursory glance around the room and its occupants before sitting down next to Jilly. Tim obviously, he knew; the girl was Kisa, who had at some point been a tiger cub; and the other boy, older than Tim with the two-tone hair he didn't know, although Kisa seemed to be on good terms with him. Which was good enough.
"What are you drawing?" He asked Jilly, eventually taking his eyes away from the small gathering.
Jilly shifted a little to make room for him, grinning at the smile before answering, "The kids. They're always a good challenge to draw when they're up and moving."
She moved the sketchpad a little so she could see. The page was covered in mostly quick figure sketches, a few with rough details from when they had stood still long enough.
