[Damian had woken up to find himself in an unfamiliar place -- or at least, not the place he'd fallen asleep. Paradisa had a way of making your surroundings seem yours, like deja vu, even if you were quite certain you'd never been there in your life. The arrangement of the room definitely isn't his, but the things in it are things he would own
( ... )
[ And now it's Dick's turn to stare. The worried little crease above his brow deepens, but one corner of his mouth lifts up into a sort of smile. Damian's joking, right? Dick just doesn't get it. ]
[Damian doesn't even resist or brush him off, taking that hair ruffle with a sort of resigned surrender. Yeah, he'll figure it out another day, when he's not here.]
[Damian doesn't budge, eyes following Dick to the wine and then to the history files. He has no idea what any of this is about, and he's pretty sure this isn't real. He's tired, and Kate is a psycho and has probably drugged him or something, and if this were Paradisa, Dick wouldn't seem to know exactly where he is or what's happening. He can't make heads or tails of it right now.
It's a little frustrating, and a lot of overwhelming.
So he moves to shove Dick, hard as he can, as punishment for not being psychic and not being there.]

Let's do that, then.

Is this Gotham?

Must've been some dream, hm?
[ He sounds sympathetic and a little concerned. Out of the two of them Dick had thought that he would be the one to get home sick. ]
You know we're in Paris.

I'm not sick. I've just been in a different universe for two years, so excuse me if it slipped my mind.

You want to run that one by me again?

Like you've never messed with time travel and alternate universes before.

Of course, Damian's on about a new video game. ]
I thought you said you stayed in and stared at the walls all day?

Want me to take a look at it?

No, it's fine. I'll figure it out myself.

Not tonight though, yeah? You need your rest [ incoming hair ruffle! ] especially if I'm going to kick your butt on it tomorrow.
