(( Okay...I don't know if this conflicting with canon or not, but since I've never heard of an established birth date for him, I don't really care. I thought this was appropriate, since it is our Robin's birthday
( Read more... )
The half-demoness paused, frowning. She sensed two people in the tower; one she recognized, Robin, and one she didn't. Why had he brought a stranger home on his birthday? Sure, he didn't exactly know about the party, but still.
She gritted her teeth then sighed, knowing she had no choice but to hope for the best.
OOC: (( Awe... *blushes* Thanks guys. *is all late noticing* ))
Pausing and turning on his heel slightly, Robin frowned a bit.
"What are you talking about? Look... I'm not going to let you go out there on your own, not even knowing who you are. You don't have to stay here for very long-- atleast let me help you," he tried, brows furrowing in faint concern.
He looked at Robin, his mouth slightly open, and blushed again.
"It's not that I don't want to stay.." He started, grasping for words that he barely knew, and for a meaning he was only guessing at. "I'd just hate to be a burden. I get the feeling that the work you do is very important, to you and-- well, everyone else around here too, right? I don't want to get in your way.." He trailed off, smiling sheepishly. "But-- I really don't have anywhere else to go..." He took a small step toward Robin. "I mean, if you're sure it's okay... ?"
He blushed again, tensing and then relaxing his shoulder in Robin's hold... he leaned into the pressure slightly, nodding.
"You have no idea how much this means to me... to just be taken in without any question. I-- I'll do my best not to-- " He looked away. "I won't let you down, Robin." He said with a level of conviction that scared him.
Robin stared at him for a moment; he seemed to act rather peculiarly, but the boy wonder brushed it off and nodded, the smile returning back to his face.
They were going to be careful, whether he was a threat to them or not-- especially knowing next to nothing about him. That was a given.
"Come on," he said, letting his arm drop back to his side, and starting his way to the main room backwards for a second to make sure the other boy was following.
He nodded, following Robin, smiling at him. He was still a bit reluctant, but willing to trust them if they were willing to do the same, as they [so strangely] seemed to be.
"So... how big a team are we talkin'? This place looked pretty big from the outside..."
((I'm going by Comicverse on this, but I see young!Slade as a lot like Comic!Jericho [since I haven't yet met his ATT counter-part]. How'm I doin' so far?))
Casting a brief glance over his shoulder, he shrugged his shoulders a little bit, "Well, in this tower, there's six of us, including me. There's a Titans East that live in Steel City, and several honorary Titans."
And now that he thought about it, it amazed him how much the team had grown from the original five.
Flashing a faint grin, Robin nodded in response. "Exactly."
He turned around for a moment to face the other boy, "And if you wanted, after I introduce you to the team, I could show you around the tower. So you don't get lost."
He hesitated inside the doorway, oddly apprehendsive of the Tower, and all that he inherently thought it stood for.
"Ah... Robin? Maybe I shouldn't be here..." He backed up a step...
((Hehe... decorate like the wind, Rae. ^__^ ))

"So not an army... but enough, neh?" He smiled, a bit more at ease.

"Really? That'd be great!" He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. "As long as you're sure it's not an imposition..."
((Heh... *helps to stall...*))

"I'm sure," he said, then smirking and turning back around to head through the living room doors.

"What was that?" He asked, even knowing that Robin had no way of knowing...

With little warning, he jolted foreward into a run and into the living room...

((Should move this down, neh?))
