Exactly.

[ it makes no sense in context. but clark and diana still haven't come back so it's really more 'it's about time one of you showed back up after leaving.' like hell is she explaining that, though. ]

This is probably a stupid question, but is there anything you haven't read up on from when you were gone?

[kingofrooks]

Yes.

[ He's a big fat liar. He doesn't remember being here. ]

[boltalicious]

Welcome back, then. I hope your trash has not gone unattended for too long.

[ this is... probably supposed to be a good thing?? but maybe Jason's attitude toward him in general is contagious, as contagious as the rest, because she's somehow way less thrilled than she should be. SO TO TEXT, FOR MYSTERY AND FEELING-MASKING! ]

[ That encryption + that typing style + that lukewarm feeling + the rest of the fambly have been mostly accounted for + it's definitely not Jason's spitting vitriol or snark + the politeness + world's best detective = CARRIE ]

You're back.

[ Pause. He cocks his head, looking at her. ]

I am. [ Gentler, than with most. ]

You've settled well.

[ He means the boyfriend. ]

[batghoul]

[She recognizes his real meaning instantly, and smiles softly.]

He's... great. You'll like him.

[Well... maybe not at first. Her body language seems to convey 'Don't scare him too bad.']

[kingofrooks]

[ He tilts his head. ]

Haven't I already met him?

[ He's pretending he remembers. ]

Hello. Welcome back.

( dick will be happy so this is a good thing. )

[kingofrooks]

[ Dick won't be happy for long because his father is a dick.

dick. get it-- never mind. ]

Why won't you wear her mantle, now she isn't here?

[kathreptis]

( slow clap.

she just shakes her head. )

I went that route once. It never quite suited me.

[kingofrooks]

[ Hallie I have too many tags I need to amuse myself to not die of stress somehow!!! ]

Yet there is a need, even here.
