I'm fine.

( a hand lifted to accompany the slight shake of his head in regards to both the sitting and offer of a drink.

the question regarding being here suddenly — the getting as much tech set up as he can has him look rather pensive as he pockets that hand again. he's no interest in affiliating himself with either of the guilds here nor does he intend to hang around the hotel for however long he's supposedly welcome to.

the changes are certainly changes. especially when it comes to suddenly being able to do things he hadn't been capable of back in gotham; still getting used to that. )

Can't say I'm pleased with having to start from scratch again.

Tim?

[Tim's able to get his own drink, certainly, but Dick asks because he's at the fridge. And getting out a refillable water bottle of his own that he put in there before going on patrol.]

[The look he casts Bruce is sympathetic as he takes a drink.]

You're not wrong. I've had to do it a couple of times. Not quite this much, no, but similar. It's incredibly annoying, though at least we aren't on our own here.

[overlyprecocious]

Soda?

[He's happy to keep Haley occupied with scritches while Dick and Bruce talk Adult Things(TM).]

Like people keep telling me, you have a support network.

[batsymbol]

( they're not on their own, no. it's good, he figures. for them to have each other to fall back on — rely on when in a pinch. at least there seems to be that having come from everything with [some version of] him: they have each other.

a glance to tim, he looks down. )

Yeah.

( though it doesn't sound very convincing, in all honesty. )

[forceforlight]

[Definitely doesn't sound convinced.]

[Dick ducks back into the fridge for a can of soda, walking over to hand it to Tim. Because he COULD throw it, but that's rude. Even if he knows Tim could catch it.]

[He steps over to Bruce, reaching out to squeeze the man's shoulder. It's not a long touch, because he knows Bruce doesn't always do with that. But it's comfort in a way he might allow.]

I know it doesn't seem like it now. Especially if, as I suspect, your world doesn't have much in the way of heroes as yet. But you don't have to go it alone. You never have had to. Alfred's always been there to back you up. There will be others, even if you never find your world's versions of us. But, here and now, you DO have us.

[overlyprecocious]

[It's true, Tim would catch it - but then he'd have a soda bomb, which would be sad. Or funny, depending on how he decided to handle it.]

And we're annoying and unlikely to leave you alone.

[batsymbol]

( he doesn't shrug off the touch from dick when it's given, nor does he dismiss the words from either of them when given. what he does do, however, is glance over to haley there and how content she seems to be. right here. with her family. )

Apparently.

( the not being or leaving him alone part, he means. )

I should get going.

( the man is still largely nocturnal and tired. )

[forceforlight]

[Which is something that Dick can see. Which is why he steps back, giving Bruce a clear path.]

All right. You look like you could use some rest as it is. If you need anything, though, think about giving one of us a call, all right? We're not going to get anywhere here without each other.
