I pay plenty of attention to trial. I do take this seriously, you know.

[ she frowns ]

And it's not like I asked Hikage to do that.

[ it. admittedly annoyed her but it's fine ]

[bittybat]

[It looks absolutely like he doesn't believe her as he squats to pet some of the cubs which waddle over.]

This still doesn't answer the question of why you aren't trying to go on a date with them.

[vigilantics]

Why would I?

[ she watches him pet.... ]

I'm happily single.

[bittybat]

[He throws her a Look, but continues giving the wild tiger babies some love. Yesss, who is a precious baby murder machine? YOU ARE!]

So if the two of them fulfilled this same task with someone else, and then began fancying the person they were with...?

[vigilantics]

Then I'd be perfectly happy for them.

[ she sniffs ]

How jealous do you think I am?

[ steph kicks years of jealousy issues under the rug ]

[bittybat]

[It's clear Damian believes this is the biggest lie he's ever heard told in his entire life. The question only gets her another look, very pointed.]

Fine.

[It sounds like a gremlin sort of "fine." Like he has some kind of future intent.]

[vigilantics]

[ ... she does not trust this. ]

Fine.

[ but she'll turn her attention to some baby animals, because she does not want to argue about her love life with damian. ]

[bittybat]

[No, please talk about your love life with Damian. He watches her for a few moments before ignoring her in favor of adorable baby animals.

It's a little while before he decides to speak.] Idiotic tasks aside, have you found out anything else about this place? [As if they are

not trying to be on a babysitting date. He can't just have a normal fucking outing.]

[vigilantics]

Nothing that would help us actually get out of here, no.

I'm mostly trying to get people's titles and powers.

[bittybat]

The fact people are so willing to tell someone else their ability is astounding and stupid. Especially after being warned.

[He makes a face, though it doesn't exactly seem like a condescending one? Amazingly? It's very "Bruce-That's-A-Terrible-Idea-Children."]

[vigilantics]

[ she just grins ]

Should I take that as a no about exchanging teams then?

[bittybat]

At least make an attempt to find a way to figure it out without me having to say it openly, Brown.

[He gives her a withered look.]

Such as: [to her, now] have you already used your power this week for the task?

[vigilantics]

I have not.

Mostly because I need to use it on someone who already knows what it is.

[bittybat]

[Hmm. He looks thoughtful.]

Your power has stipulations? Unlucky.

[vigilantics]

It's not that exactly. It's just... tricky, I guess, and I'm not entirely sure how it'll actually work out if I use it.

So it'll be overall easier if I used it on someone who knows, and then we can see how it went.

[bittybat]

Why don't you try it with Grayson?

[vigilantics]

I haven't asked for his yet.

[bittybat]

And...? You have to know his to try yours on him?

[vigilantics]

I mean, he also doesn't know what mine is, and I need to find out if he's even interested in exchanging them.

I don't want to just use it without permission.

[bittybat]

My point was what are you waiting for, Brown? It's Grayson. Not ours exactly, but it's... frustratingly Grayson.

Unless you plan to turn your two boyfriends into a frog, or whatever your power happens to be, your best bet is to see if Grayson would be willing.

[listen,,]

Because I am not telling you mine, and I'm sure you plan to give me a five mile scroll of why you won't use yours on me.

[vigilantics]

I didn't actually expect you to tell me yours.

[ she sighs. and then goes quiet for a moment. ]

I don't really know him as well as you do, so... it would be fine if he wouldn't trust me.

[bittybat]

[Good. Steph won't be disappointed then when he doesn't because he's a Bat brat.]

You can't be serious.

[His expression turns pensive.]

Have you even spoken to Grayson?

[vigilantics]

A little. Mostly for like... you know, the job.

[ she rubs the back of her head. ]

But we didn't really hang out on a one on one basis or anything.

[bittybat]

[He waves a hand dismissively.]

I mean here. Have you spoken to Grayson more than once here?

[vigilantics]

[ she frowns. ]

Of course I have.

[ she's trying to make a good impression ]
