[ his own smile softens with that tone. he knows how rare it is, how rare these moments are in general, when they’re more or less getting along, having a conversation, getting to catch a break. ]
You’re invited if you wanna come, but they’re not reading Tolkien yet. Next one’s how the Grinch Stole Christmas. Maybe it’ll resonate with you.
[He smirked, lightly kicking out with his dangling leg to tap Dick's with the toe of his boot. No rough housing this close to the edge, but he didn't think that counted.]
I'm actually pretty good with kids. I volunteer in a lot of my shelters if they're running low on staff and I don't have any time sensitive cases.
[ Dick pulls his leg away, lifting a brow in warning as a smirk tugs at his mouth. down, boy. Jason doesn’t protest the Grinch part. ]
Yeah, I know you’d be. [ good with kids, that is. Jason has the personality for it. he sees it in glimpses sometimes, when the curtains are drawn and the threats fall away. there’s something about kids that disarms both of them. at least they have that in common. ]
I’d still like to see it, though. Come by sometime. [ to the Library near the Titans tower. ] Then we’ll grab a coffee and I’ll show you ‘round town. How’s that for a first date?
[Of course he didn't protest the Grinch part. He has a reputation to uphold, after all.
His smile was still soft and kind of sleepy as he smoothly sat up, the muscles of his stomach bunching under that stupid shirt. But he was nodding and actually looked a little content with the idea.
He wouldn't be able to leave Gotham for long, his empire needed it's leader, but a vacation to somewhere with actual sunshine sounded nice.]
That sounds like a lovely first date. But for now, come on. I think we've lost any tail we did have. Let's go home. You need a shower, you smell like his cologne.
