Jason rolls his eyes. Between Tim and Dick Jason had thought Alfred had a hard time when it came to feeding the baby bats, but apparently Cass also went with whatever she could get into her mouth. And Jason, who didn't have the Wayne fortune was the one who spent actual money on food.
Figures.
"Sweet it is then. But Alfred isn't here so what are you exactly eating?"
Figures.
"Sweet it is then. But Alfred isn't here so what are you exactly eating?"
Dat eyeroll.
"When I was a child, I ate whatever I could find: meat raw from the dead animal, food from garbages, plants that didn't make me sick. Alfred's food is... pretty. And smells good."
She shrugs.
"I've been eating sandwiches from cafes. And pastries."

Hey Cass, are you going to that knight-training thing?
[Ooh, good. Encouraging.]
Will you show me enough stuff that I can put that asshole on his ass?

I can show you some things. If he's a skilled fighter, we won't have enough time for that.
But I am going to beat him. Soundly.
Do you know a good place to get a hair cut?

Yeah he's better than me, I know a week won't change that, but if he thinks he won't hit a girl, I can get in there with the first hits. Besides, I gotta be there to watch you hand his ass to him.
[Breathe, inhale, exhale, fucking hell she's steamed, but a little calmer when she continues:]
I can do it if you want. I do mine. But yeah, there's a couple places I found earlier.

Jason nods, reaching to scratch the back of his neck as he looks away.
"I was... brain damaged, for a while. Don't remember much. Doesn't matter- point is I went through that too. I just have the luck to be able to forget it because my memories are foggy." A shrug. "But when I get to cook, I like to do it.
Helps you be healthier, too. We use a lot of calories in our... kind of life."

Okay so.
I'm going back home. And it'd be a jerk move to do it without telling you.

I just need a trim. It's gotten a little long of late. Don't want to tip him off.
And I can show you a few tricks to surprise him.

I'll trade you? Show me a few tricks to surprise him and I'll trim your hair however you want.
[There's a little pause.]
I don't want to screw this up. I actually kind of. Want to actually try.

Guess so.
Will you be okay, princess? Do you wanna meet before I go?
Will you be okay, princess? Do you wanna meet before I go?
I would like to.
But I don't know that it would be the best idea.
I would want you to stay. And you can't.
[ This is why she hates phones. Because so much of what she says is in her face and her eyes and her body and she has to translate it on the phone and sometimes it doesn't come through right. At least when it's a discussion like this. ]

It's good to know either way. Honestly.
[ Grin. ]
You're not the first person I've helped train.

[ One time, when Cassandra is out of where she lives, she will return to her place to see a little bat with a black cape attached to it and a little tape saying" play me. bw.
When it's played this is the message: ]
You're too old for this and you probably don't like it, but I may have indulged a fatherly instinct too much at that carnival earlier this month. Consider it a gift, Cassandra.

[ She thinks back to a visit to a prison, a swim back to shore in clothing that hadn't felt normal or natural to begin with, let alone when she was escaping from the guards. To a box presented to her without, seeming, reason. Does she like it?
Yes, yes she does. She has the urge to hug it and so she does, because she can, and puts it in a place of pride in her little apartment above the TV.
Accordingly, he will find, some days later, a little mug with a tie curled up in it. And, of course, a note. ]
You weren't here earlier so it's late.

[ If Bruce happens to type out a message to her while drinking out of that mug and perhaps wearing the tie ( okay mostly just drinking out of the mug ) the next morning, well no one can prove it because they didn't see it. ]
It's June in someone's timeline. Thank you. I've been needing both of these things.
