WHO: Jason Todd and Jimmy Olsen Dickybird Nightwing Some Dick.
WHAT: Birdboys talk about girls and stuff.
WHERE: Dick's house, Jason broke in through a window like he just don't care. Except it means he does care, but shut up.
WHEN: A little while after Starfire showed up.
Dick: ...*nudges Jason*
Jason: *Swats at* Eh, what?
Dick: *D'aaaw face*
Jason: *Scowling* What.
Dick: That was...nice. What you did.
Jason: ... What I did when? *Huff, crossing his arms.*
Dick:*smiling!* With Starfire.
Jason: Oh, you mean like... not instantly trying to pick a fight, or anything.
Dick: *nods!* Yeah, that, and you told her the truth about alcohol.
Jason: *Snort* Well what did you expect me to do, tell her it was some magical feel good elixir? Jesus Christ, Dick, she's like fifteen, I'm not that cruel.
Dick: *:D shoulder bump. He knows~* I'm seeing growth.
Jason: *Shove >:/* Shut the hell up.
Dick: *:D reaches over to ruffle!* Don't be like that. *snicker*
Jason: *Smacks that hand away* Hey, look, I'm many things but I never woulda lied about booze anyway, okay, so shove off. It's not a change.
Dick: *D: wow* Jason, I didn't mean anything by it... *rubbing that smacked hand over the back of his neck* sorry
Jason: Oh, no, no, you meant that I'm just so bad that anything positive I do has to be a change for the better, right? *Growl... and sigh.* Forget it.
Dick: *._. That wasn't what he meant at all, but now that you've put it that way... jeez, Jason, he's really sorry. So. He's just gonna kinda hug you here. Quickly*
Jason: *Argh what, shoves his way out of that after a moment, muttering* Christ almighty. *Louder, gruffly* Fine, apology accepted.
Dick: I guess after everything...it kinda reminds me of how you were. *BatFamily delivering painful truths since forever* Or - Heck - how you still are, behind the tired wall of sidekick-gone-bad you've constructed. *Heh, he's trying to keep this light, really*
Jason: *Trying and failing, judging from the way Jason's jaw tightens up.* It's no construction, Dickybird. I'm just not playing by your stupid high horse morals any more, and that means I can do good things even while I'm being a very bad boy. So suck it up, 'cause this is just how I work now.
Dick: *u.u we've danced this number to death* Alright, alright. Fine. I'm not about to get into another pissing match with you over who's right and who's wrong.
Jason: *And yet, it always comes up.* Good. *... Sigh.* Maybe you should explain it to Starfire before she gets too friendly, though.
Dick: *Amused half smirk there* I'm pretty sure she can handle herself.
Jason: Yeah, I'm sure. And maybe I'll get lucky and she won't put me through a wall when it comes up that I'm willing to kill.
Dick: *Eheh ^.^' because she adheres to the not killing rule so very well herself* That I'd like to see. Maybe. Too much to ask that you'll all get along, I guess.
Jason: Tch, well, I suppose I can promise to keep playing nice. *Yes, but then, he did kind of try to kill a Robin. A little bit. Once... or twice. Anyway.* It's kind of hard to pick a fight when she's like... a kid, still.
Dick: *Oh tell her that. That'll go down well!* Mmn *Not thinking too much about the kid part, really. And she'd still probably kick your ass*
Jason: *Eeeexactly.* Age gap messing with your head a little, Big Bird? *Grin.*
Dick: *Flat. Stare. Do not go there. srsly* You do remember we're dealing with different dimensions, yeah?
Jason: *But it's so easy~* Yeah, I know. You still being Robin and all. Quite a trip.
Dick: *Shrug. He is trying to downplay this so much~* It's not that weird.
Jason: No, sure ain't as weird as some dimensions we coulda got someone from. *Considering.* Still, bet it's bringing back all sorts of memories for you, Dickybird.
Dick: No more so than being with you or Roy. *...what?*
Jason: *Oh, that gets him a sharp eyebrow raise and a slow drawl* Really.
Dick: *._.* You know what I mean.
Jason: *He can't help snickering* No, no I - well, if I weren't included in that sentence, then I'd really have to question what you original Titans got up together, shortpants.
Dick: *Again with the flat. Don't-go-there. Staring*
Jason: *Grinning wolfishly~* Hey, I wouldn't go judging you, you know. Just saying.
Dick: Well, I'll guess we'll never know *grinning right on back*
Jason: Tch, stingy. *Sticks out his tongue, still grinning.*
Dick: *laughs* God, Jason, they're like family.
Jason: *Pfff, shaking his head with the smirk still in place.* Like family isn't quite the same thing as being family. And what does that make Star, then, anyway? You weirdo.
Dick: *ghdfbgkn shoves. Amused though*
Jason: *Shoves back, he's totally won this one~*
Dick: You said 'original Titans', alright? *laughing*
Jason: Ahh right, so I did. *Eyebrow raise* So you're saying you wouldn't be even sliiightly interested in Donna, if...?
Dick: *Matching that brow* If?
Jason: *Shrug* If... I dunno. She showed interest, or whatever.
Dick: *Shrug~* She never did.
Jason: Tch, that's why I was speaking in hypotheticals, idot. *Rolls his eyes.* Fucking - never mind.
Dick: *goes back to being oblivious, and very pointedly not bringing up any infatuation Jason may have or have had with the former Wonder Girl*
Jason: *Blah blah cockblocked by Kyle fucking Rayner blah. Anyway.* Suppose I should've stuck to pointing out your thing for redheads. Eh.
Dick: There have been three! It's really not that many. *Just. Rarer. Or something idek*
Jason: Mhmm, sure. Compared to how many non-redheads?
Dick: W-*pursed lips thinking that one over~* that's really not relevant.
Jason: If we're talking percentages, it really is. Why, got a few you're ashamed of? *Smirk~*
Dick: :\ Got nothing better to do with your time?
Jason: Ho-ohh, really do, huh? *But fine, he'll back off. Shrug* One or two other things I could be doing, sure. Why, you getting tired of my company already?
Dick: Not at all. Can't say I wouldn't appreciate a change of topic however.
Jason: *... Hmn.* Fine. Like what?
Dick: *Heh* Let's talk about you for a change.
Jason: *Flat* Oh, fun. Let's hear it, then - what do you want to know?
Dick: *shrug* What've you been up to?
Jason: *Scratches his chin idly* Eh, not that much. Dealing with muggers and crap like that, getting used to the island... finding interesting people to talk to. *Lalala.*
Dick: Oh yeah? *Head tilt* Anyone in particular?
Jason: *Casual shrug* Hm, well. That Kairi kid, the people at the cafe... if I'm working security there, might as well get to know them better.
Dick: *blinkblink* A cafe. That needs you for security? What kind of place is this?
Jason: Hell, I dunno. If anything looks suspicious, I'll tell you, but I think they're just like... being cautious,
Dick: ...can't say I blame them. Not really. *Brief pause!* How's Rogue?
Jason: *Eyebrow raise. But he stays casual* Good, I guess. I mean, you saw her at the pizza thing too.
Dick: I did. Didn't really get the chance to talk to her much.
Jason: *'Hmm's in general agreement.*
Dick: *:D* But you did
Jason: *Don't you make that face >:/* Sure, I did. So?
Dick: *:DD* Just saying.
Jason: Right *shoves.* So stop grinning like an idiot.
Dick: *laughs* Sorry. *He's not, but the grin in a liiiittle smaller*
Jason: *Scowling.* Tch. Whatever, I'll be going now. *Turns and heads for the exit.*
Dick: *Snickering* S-sure
Jason: *Oh, is that a throwing knife going past your ear and into the wall, Dick? Yes, it is. Apparently that's Jason's idea of saying 'goodbye' and also 'shut the fuck up and stop laughing at me' as he is now out that door and gone.*
Dick: *... o.o >.> phew* Heh
