VOICE/TEXT 001! Wherein a bad little boy pretends to be good.

Sep 10, 2011 00:22

[ The feed turns on, and there is a light shuffling of tiny feet. Inhuman feet. Four of them. It's a kitten! A rather noisy one, at that. Then, a child's voice. Polished down to the last syllable, but caring not to sound pretentious. Some of his words are deliberately stressed to factor in confusion. He's also getting good at hiding that cocky, ( Read more... )

Oh, look. It likes you.

voice; birdthright September 9 2011, 16:49:35 UTC

[ Now the cat is scratching at the fabric of his pants. Damian moves his leg away, and it makes an annoyed sound in response. ]

I am growing doubtful of that, Father.

voice; kingofrooks September 9 2011, 17:02:34 UTC

Well, it hasn't tried to bite you, has it?

voice; birdthright September 10 2011, 02:06:17 UTC

Not yet. Is that an indication that it likes me?

voice; kingofrooks September 10 2011, 03:07:08 UTC

It's something, at the very least.

[ A low laugh. Then when he speaks again, it is absolutely sincere:

(Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.) ]

Have I told you before? I'm glad that you're back.

voice; birdthright September 10 2011, 03:46:28 UTC

[ Damian can pick up on that. He has studied his father intensively, and he's taken in all the nuances he uses to put up a front. He knows this is sincere, and there is a pause, before he responds with something sincere as well. ]

. . . I am pleased to see you as well, sir.

voice; kingofrooks September 10 2011, 03:58:36 UTC

[ And the facade goes right back up. Sorry, any more and he'll sprain his emotional muscle. ]

Hey, you don't have to be that polite with me, silly.

voice; birdthright September 10 2011, 05:33:22 UTC

It is a force of habit.

Have you been fairing well, today?

voice; kingofrooks September 10 2011, 06:56:31 UTC

I'm good, I'm good.

Are you bored, at home?

voice; birdthright September 10 2011, 10:41:31 UTC

There is the television to entertain me. But I must admit that most of the programs aimed at my age demographic are not particularly appealing. [ He's not really watching TV. :| ]

voice; kingofrooks September 10 2011, 11:05:43 UTC

Why on Earth are you watching the kids' channel? You're smarter than me.

voice; birdthright September 10 2011, 11:18:47 UTC

Curiosity.

I bid you not to downplay your own intelligence, Father. I am still only ten.

voice; kingofrooks September 10 2011, 12:05:46 UTC

Shush, I like bragging about you.

[ Grin in his voice! ]

Anyway, if you're so bored- do you want to come to the police station with me when the week starts?

voice; birdthright September 11 2011, 12:58:48 UTC

[ Damian's wondering if he honestly means to bring him to the police station and show him around, or if there's something else that Bruce has planned.

Probably the latter. ]

To watch you work? I would be honored.

voice; kingofrooks September 11 2011, 13:09:47 UTC

Well, you'll get to learn something too.

Probably more than what you learn in school.

[ Actually, he's just keeping him at the police station and having Damian keep an ear out for news stories of interest. As well as the Batman case.

Fratley 'listens', and he hears rumours of Batman being allied with AGI. What will the loose-lipped police officers say around a young child. ]

voice; birdthright September 11 2011, 17:00:56 UTC

[ HE IS SO READY FOR THAT ]

I look forward to that, Father. Your work has always fascinated me.
