James Gordon was finishing off a piece of pizza. He'd folded it over so he could walk with it. For once, he had a night off. ...Of course, he knew what that meant. He scanned the skyline as he walked.

Where was she?

Every time he got a night off-- he swore it was every time without fail-- the Huntress appeared with some warning or concern. Just once-- once-- he'd like to get through a night to himself without her showing up. He'd managed to take his mom out to dinner, which was amazing enough, but he knew-- he just knew-- he wouldn't get to make it to a bar ( ... )

"Oh yeah," he replied. "You look like you're fine."

"It was stupid--I'll admit that," Dalia said. "I just--I'm leaving town for a bit. I didn't want anything hanging over me...I couldn't stop thinking about it."

"You're..." James trailed off and he held out his hand. "Give me the gun." He didn't explain further, staring at her.

She stared back at him as she unclipped the firearm from its holster and held it out.

James took the gun quickly and checked it. He handed it back once he'd assured himself that it hadn't been fired recently.

She put it back on her hip and kept watching him back.

James stared at her. He'd be smart to haul her down to the station for at least the gun. But... he couldn't blame her for bringing it with her.

He sighed and took a bit of a step back. "You've got to start being more careful."

"I'm getting out of Gotham for awhile," she said, "That's a step, isn't it?"

work_with_it January 2 2010, 11:45:20 UTC

He ran a hand through his hair. "Where're you going?"

take_mychances January 2 2010, 11:48:03 UTC

"Europe." Her voice was quiet and she looked away for a moment.

work_with_it January 3 2010, 06:55:47 UTC

"Wow." He watched her for a minute and ran his hand through his hair again. "You should probably get home. It's not really safe to be out here alone this time of night, y'know."

Dalia nodded, but didn't move, just looked at James for a moment. "Take care of yourself while I'm gone..." She had a slight smirk as she said it.

work_with_it January 3 2010, 08:10:31 UTC

He chuckled. "Y'know, I think I'll be fine."

take_mychances January 3 2010, 08:11:39 UTC

"You have a way of getting into situations..."

work_with_it January 3 2010, 08:12:38 UTC

"That usually involve you."
