I know he is. He was a bad spot for me too for a long while but I don't want it to stay like that, he was a sweet boy when I first met him and while I know he's probably a lot different now I don't want to keep hurting and hating him for what happened. We've all made mistakes.
[And one of hers was not waiting for Dick and the team, in her mind she's just as much to blame for Hank's death as Jason is. But the smile she hears in Dick's voice is encouraging.]
You know... I could show you just how much I appreciate you doing this later tonight?
I was thinking maybe a nice long,hot shower together? [She says, her tone turning lighter.] Then maybe a full body massage?
It's not that surprising. Not to bring gender into this but you are both men, both of who were taught by a man who didn't really believe in talking about feelings or the past.
Dawn, I can’t talk about Bruce and Jason and hot showers with you all in the same breath but… I’ll never say no to some positive reinforcement. Especially when you’re offering a massage. You know how much I like the way you feel.
I know. Poor me, actually getting to see them become effective. [ there's affection in his voice. ] It's nothing bad, I landed poorly on my back and pulled something in my thigh. Nothing a bit of love won't fix.
Typical Dick Grayson, trying to do more than one thing at a time. King of the multitaskers. All right, you can have both. I'll start myself off on the line with you but you better be here in person to finish me off.
[She teases because they both know that they'll most likely go more than one round tonight. There's a small pause and she sighs, her hand creeping between her legs.]
no subject
Yeah, okay. [ he's not totally convinced. ] You're telling me because you want me to put you in contact with him?
no subject
Yes.
I just need his number, I'll send him a message and then it's up to him if he wants to talk.
Okay?
no subject
I'll talk to him about it first, okay?
no subject
I appreciate you doing this, Dick.
no subject
I appreciate you telling me about this. And--wanting to move on. With me. [ she'll hear the smile in his voice. ] Jason's a sore spot for me.

It's not easy to face it. You've always been better at it than most. The rest of us, we try to run. Jason and I haven't talked about it either.

no subject
Right, of course. Well you know I'm always happy to help rub you, are there any areas I should pay special attention to tonight?
no subject
Well, that's one thing that happened earlier today.
no subject
Did you hurt yourself during training?
no subject
no subject
Where did they get you?
no subject
no subject
I promise to kiss it all better.
[She purrs.]
no subject
Even more worth it then. Should I stop working?
no subject
[a small pause in which he can probably hear her smiling.]
Or you can stay on the line while I play with myself and describe it to you.
Either way you probably won't get much work done.
no subject
One's immediate, the other I have to drive for... but I can have both, can't I?
no subject

Oh, so it's okay to speed when it comes to you, hm? [ he pushes off the chair and she'll hear the click-clack of his keys locking the computer. ]
no subject
[She teases because they both know that they'll most likely go more than one round tonight. There's a small pause and she sighs, her hand creeping between her legs.]
I'm already so wet.
