[Video is really far from Jason's favorite method of communication. If it were up to him he'd go with text most of the time. But he's gathered enough from Cass to know that it would be rude to her. And if he's doing voice, may as well go the extra mile and give her video... because he's also gathered enough to know that would be useful.]
Heyo. So your girlfriend contacted me, just wanted to make sure you're really okay with what she's suggesting?
[ She tends to default to audio, but she has no problem with video, really. It's just weird and disjointed for her sometimes. Right now, she looks relatively placid, eating some cereal in the midst of watching something on TV. ]
What did she suggest?
[ A pause before tilting her head- ]
I know what she asked. I don't know what she said to you.
[He pauses, trying to think about the exact wording Steph used because he isn't sure if it's important. He doesn't look guilty at all, because he's always been transparent but he definitely doesn't want to be involved in any kind of complications.]
She said you and her had an open relationship. She said she wanted to try playing around with handcuffs and the like and that it's not quite your style because you read bodies too well.
And she asked me if I would be open to that kind of thing.
[It’s probably impossible for Jason to be able to hide his body language completely from Cass. But there’s still a difference between how this Jason is carrying himself nad how the other did, mostly because the other at least did his best to keep some things to himself, particularly when talking about other members of their batclan. But this Jason doesn’t quite know the extent of Cass’s abilities, so he’s like an open book.
And right now said book is definitely a mix of curiosity… and interest in equal parts.]
I mean- yeah, sure. You’re my type. But I’m you know who I am, right? The kinda things I do. You know you can do better.
[ One doesn't need to be able to read people's body language like she can to figure out the way she's looking into the camera, looking at him. ]
I know what I want.
Do you know who I am?
[ That's important too.
She knows, can tell as much from that body language, that this is and is not the Jason she knew. But he's here and he's Jason and some part of her... some part of her had connected with him. Some part of her had felt like... like all of her, including the dirtied hands, were... understood. Her urges and her anger understood, even if they disagreed with what to do with them.
And she would always, always be curious if she didn't. ]
[A shrug. Because that feels like the most honest answer he can give to that question.]
I didn’t know you back home. In here, I know what other people have told me. But I know there’s always three versions of something: yours, mine and the truth. If you want, you can tell me your version.

We do.
And she does.
And yes, that's what I said.
[ There's a pause, a moment where she considers what she wants to say before- ]
And yes I wouldn't mind if you did that.
[ But there's something else, something she has to force out. ]
Would you be open to doing things with me as well?
