[ When all is said and done, the place really does clean up pretty nicely. No visible cluttery mess aside from that half-assembled Christmas tree in the corner of the living room, and there’s appropriate mood music on in the background. Make yourself at home and grab some food before it’s gone. ]

[ It's the thought that counts. :c He'll slide right on into the living room after her, in the hopes of catching her attention straight off. It's been a while since he's seen her in person. ] Thanks for showing.

Welcome. Thanks for... the food. [She smiled. It seemed like there was quite the spread.]

How is Steph? [She hadn't seen her friend all that much since she disappeared one day and moved in with Dick, after all.]

Not quite like Alfred would have done it. [ But it's still got most of the gang in one place. Which is rare enough on it's own to make all this worth it. ]

And I'm sure she misses the closet space and the hot water. Which reminds me, how's your boyfriend?

[She nods solemnly. No one can replace Alfred.]

Keep trying to get her... to come back.

[At the mention of Reilly, she glances awkwardly at the floor.]

Better. [But not back to normal yet.]

[batmantled.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. Me too. [ And it's really the first he's heard this at all from the other side. ]

I think with a little time to think it through she'll come around.

Maybe if... Babs talks to her... [Babs carried a certain amount of authority among the Batgirls, after all.]

I hope so. Can't imagine it's a cakewalk having to fight for the bathroom here. [ Sigh what is he gonna do with these kids. ]

...Glad to hear about Reilly. You need anything [ for him ] let me know, okay?

[batghoul.livejournal.com]

Surprised Damian hasn't, uh, done something. [Though Steph does seem to kind of have a way with him.]

...Okay. Thanks.
