[He had honestly thought that Kinves was just being quiet - it wasn't that unusual for the Plant, though it had been a little longer than usual since he'd heard from him. It had been an unusual friendship from the start, and he didn't quite know how to feel about Knives being Ported out, potentially permanently, when he knew that he had both hated having to live in this city, and was going to be dead when he returned home, among other factors.

He did know that he wasn't really looking forward to seeing Lust, let alone introducing her to Kon, but hopefully they could just pick up the cats and leave without anyone trying to kill anyone else, or any faces needing to be burned off.

He had also taken the time to change into his Red Robin uniform since the meeting with Dick, since the hell with his emotional issues, he wasn't showing his face to a genocidal criminal, no matter how civil this should be. So it was Red Robin who led the way into Knives's subterranean hideaway, and he didn't actually try to leave Kon at the door, just in case

[ Tim didn't need to explain that this was Serious Business. The uniform spoke volumes. Although there's quite a strong possibility that Kon is seeing additional positives in the whole situation, about Tim feeling that he lives up to the uniform again and how that's a Good Sign.

Regardless, when he sees that Tim has changed, Kon does so as well, into the t-shirt that encompasses his entire uniform, while losing the fake eyeglasses. It's more that he knows to stop goofing around (somewhat), that this could turn sour. "So... you want to explain again how we're going underground for kittens?"

[She hears the sound of... footsteps? People? Or something like that eventually, and since the Knivescave has like... an elevator leading down into its cold, dark, cat-filled heart, she'll already be by the door waiting for them by the time they arrive. Waiting for Tim, more accurately, since she has no idea Kon is coming along, but whatever, semantics. The cats are still absent, however.]

[Lust may be able to hear the tail end of their conversation as they cross the distance between the elevator and the door.] We're picking up cats from underground because a friend of mine was Ported out, and there's... no-one else he knows who would look after them, really.

[And then they reach the door and Tim just. Stops a civil distance from Lust and looks at her for a moment.]

... Lust. This is my friend, Superboy.
