[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 ]

[bittybat]

He is still just as annoying as usual.

[This is Damian's way of being fond. Probably.]

Just ask him. You'll be out of a shop ticket more than likely, but we don't know if anything else will happen if you don't complete that specific task. If it has an enactment period, it's better to do it earlier so it will wear off before the end of the week.
