it was hard to forget how perceptive tim tended to be [ he clocked her secret identity without even needing much time, after all ] but it still surprised kira when he seemed to call out things about herself that she thought she was doing a better job hiding. hardly anything could get past him; that was something she had to learn rather quickly. they were two know - it - all's sharing the same perch once again.
despite kira being in love with it to the point of it nearly being considered an all - consuming obsession, magic was never without it's flaws. there would always be a debt that awaited her for indulging in too much of the forbidden. she had learned that as a kid, and she asked her mother why her dreams were never kind to her when she fell asleep. as the years went on, she learned how to deal with it herself, and that was how isolation became an old friend. she made a promise to herself that if she were to make herself a vessel for chaos magic, she wouldn't let it harm the ones she chose to keep around her.
β any other time, i'd love your company, birdy. just not this time. β her left hand twitched, wanting to reach out to pat his shoulder by instinct, but the witch stopped herself at the last second. it would be best not to touch anything or anyone until she cleansed herself of the residual darkness that lingered within her still. kira settled for a smile. β but let's grab lunch once i've got all of these bad vibes outta me, okay? β

Are you charging for this sage advice, or is sticking your nose into my business just a hobby?
a huff at the bristle of a reply, lips falling into their usual pout when it came to the less than ideal reactions of his brothers. it really wasn't his business in the sense that he wasn't @timbins' father, and tim was now a grown man who could make his own decisions. but he was his brother, and dick would be damned if ever cared too little about those close to him again. tim may push back against his concerns, but it seems like his brother forgot that dick was twice as stubborn as he was. so he fixes his expression, though it's obvious that he's far from dropping the subject.
β i might charge if you keep acting like a little brat, getting defensive isn't helping your case. β after a beat, he drops onto the edge of tim's bed, bumping their shoulders together before shifting to look at him fully.
β not that you have a case, obviously. i have a right to worry about why your grades are slipping, especially when you don't have the whole vigilante excuse working for you right now. i'd never tell you to stop spending so much time with conner, or having free time away from schoolwork in general, but you need to decide what you want to do. if you seriously want to keep being in college, then commit to it, because there's no point in half-assing it. but if you don't want to keep going, that's also fine, but it can't be both. β
β you haven't went anywhere all day. that's why i came to get you. you know, to spend time with you. β
seriously, was he talking to a brick wall ? he might as well be, considering how @timbins didn't even turn around to look at him, eyes glued to the endless streams of text lines on his screen. conner liked to think he was an understanding guy, especially when it came to tim's inability to not be on the computer for no less than 5 hours every day and often at the cost of his own health. but, like all things, it had to come to a point eventually. he stares at his husband for a moment longer, letting the silence stretch, but he lets out a little huff of air and decides to take matters into his own hands. and by that he means picking tim up like a sack of potatoes, tossing him across his shoulder before leaving their office and into their bedroom, all but tossing him again onto their bed before he flops down on top of him.
β c'mon, let's just take a nap, i know you need it. if you want, you can go back to your computer afterwards. besides, β a hand runs down tim's side, soft, β i missed you. can you blame me for wanting to spend time with you ? β
β I am yet to understand how you manage to remain so efficient while living two separate lives. Does exhaustion not sit in the chests of birds and bats? β
it had been quite some time since tim decided to drop by his apartment uninvited, and even now when he looks at his little brother he can notice something is off. and of course jason is the curious type. "hey now look at that, haven't seen you here in a bit what took you so long to come back?" no answer even after a few as he watches tim go to town on the takeaway he had grabbed himself. it's odd not hearing a witty comeback and that's when he knows something is wrong so jason leaves him be for a moment, grabbing something to do and sits right in front of him. silent. maybe he wants some company, a way to let him know that he's there right by his side. jason doesn't wait for tim to speak and decides to do it himself finally after a few. "rough day? what's up with you?"
today's just one of the harder days / accepting / @timbins
jason is more than positively shocked, at least it's good that he came here but he would have expected tim to go see dick, but if it's jason.. something has to be up. "okay, i'm sorry" he lets a moment pass, finding the right words to say "well, appreciate you being here, you wanna talk about it? just sit here until it doesn't feel as hard? whatever you need. i'm here for you." jason rests a head on tim's shoulder, squeezes it gently.

ANSWER EVERY SINGLE ANIMAL EMOJI HC ACROBAT BOY LETS GET TO IT
( πΊ ) : does your muse lead, follow, or leave when things get difficult?
depends on the situation a little, as in he leaves sometimes when things get difficult on a personal level / with dynamics, but in general he's definitely more of a leader in difficult situations ( see: absolute power and titans )
( π¦ ) : how does your muse stand out? how does that make them vulnerable?
he stands out in a lot of ways, but he's literally a performer at heart so it just comes naturally to him. in terms of vulnerability, it's the same reason why it's a strength: because it's a mask, and being quippy and playful is what he wants people to see, not the "him" underneath
it's not something he'd consider a "reward" but definitely the knowledge that he's making a difference and that he's actively making life better for people. doesn't matter how hard or hopeless it gets, knowing someone out there needs him will always keep him going
( π» ) : what pushes your muse from gentleness into something dangerous?
definitely when innocent lives are in danger, especially children. also when his siblings are in danger. he doesn't get outright murderous ( unless a brother is killed or he thinks has been killed / seriously hurt ), but all the smiles and quips definitely come to a screeching halt and he gets scary serious
( π¦ ) : what makes your muse charge headfirst without thinking?
basically the same thing as above. he really tries to let his rational mind win out so he doesn't endanger more lives, but if a brother of his is hurt, he really just stops caring when they're hurt, lmao. easiest way to let his emotions take charge is hurting someone close to him
( π¦ ) : what does your muse hold onto long after it's gone?
dick is a very sentimental person, so . . . a lot of things. he does linger a lot on relationships after they ended though, particularly because he's still friends with his exes. he eventually lets it go, but he can't help but think about what could've been if they stayed together
( π¦ ) : what does your muse notice that others consistently miss?
due to his upbringing, dick is very observant and picks up on a lot of mannerisms and subtleties that go over a lot of other's head. he also takes a more empathetic approach to it, and is able to read between the lines when it comes to motives and things that many probably wouldn't give a second thought to
( π ) : what has your muse achieved just to prove they could?
this is obvious af, but becoming nightwing and leading the titans. and not just leading them and being his own hero, but in a way pointedly different to how bruce operates so he could prove to him that there's always another option on how to run a team or what have you
( π ) : how does your muse react when they get what they've wanted?
kind of underwhelming, I guess ? dick's not someone to gloat, so he kind of just goes on with business as usual. if it's like a personal matter though, then he might gloat a little, lol
( π ) : what makes your muse feel free? who has tried to take that from them?
being robin and leading the titans, and making bludhaven a better place. as for people who has tried to take that from them, see every villain ever he's crossed paths with lmao
( π¦ ) : whose words echo in your muse's head when they're alone?
bruce's :skull:. it also depends on the time period, because jason's ghost used to haunt him and his words echoed in his head quite a lot. most of the time it's bruce's though
( π ) : how does your muse cope with being overlooked or underestimated?
by proving to people why that's a very bad idea, lol. it doesn't happen so much now now that people know who he is, but as robin it made him very eager to prove his capabilities
( π ) : does your muse know their role, or do they resent being needed?
dick definitely knows his role and embraces it, no doubt about that
( π ) : what burden does your muse carry without complaint?
the burden of being a hero and having the weight of world and bludhaven depending on him
( π¦ ) : what moment changed your muse so completely they can't go back?
his parents' dying, duh. but i'll also say the end of being robin, because that was such pivotal moment of his life and becoming his own man
( π ) : what comforts does your muse cling to when the world gets ugly?
the knowledge that, no matter how ugly and cruel the world is, there's goodness and hope that will always exist
( π¦ ) : how often does your muse lie? do they believe those lies themselves?
dick tries to not lie a lot, and is honest to a fault. however, he does lie to himself quite a lot, though he's, again, more honest than anything and can't even convince him of his own lies
( π ) : what emotional process takes your muse the longest to work through?
definitely death and everything that entails. despite seeing it and experiencing it so much, dick never quite gets better with dealing it, especially if it's a really impactful one. it definitely helps to be with family and friends during that time, but it definitely lingers with him for a long time
( π¦ ) : is it easy for your muse see the bigger picture?
of course ! dick often relies on seeing the bigger picture by virtue of his crimefighting and job as a leader, he kind of has to be
( π ) : how does your muse survive situations they were not meant to?
plot armor no but seriously, he was trained by batman, that's basically the ceo of surviving situations they shouldn't. he's just a fighter through and through
( π¬ ) : how does your muse find joy in dangerous or unstable environments?
honestly, he thrives in those environments. though he's usually not reckless enough to actively seek them out, those are the types of situations where he can really show off his potential and his capabilities as a fighter and as a leader / strategist
( π ) : when your muse wants something, how subtle are they about it?
depends on what it is, to be honest. dick isn't a materialistic person at all, so he's not even one to want after things like expensive clothes or whatever. the most he'll do is make a comment in passing about needing to upgrade his weapons or something, but that's really it
( πββ¬ ) : how does superstition or reputation shape how others treat your muse?
with his reputation he's built for himself, dick has gained the respect and trust of many of the heroes in the community. he's so well liked that any wrong done against results in many of those heroes being pissed and coming to his aide. even senior heroes like the trinity respect his authority and follow his lead, so if that doesn't speak to his reputation i don't know what would
( π ) : how often does your muse get away with things they shouldn't?
he doesn't really do things that he shouldn't, but he'd get away with a lot so long as he flew under the radar of bruce, alfred, and occasionally barbara. he was the first son of batman, he knows how to be sneaky when he wants to !
( π ) : what memories does your muse carry that shape decisions they make?
every memory he has has shaped the decisions that he's made, but the strongest ones are probably the ones he's made growing up as robin. all of bruce's parenting decisions, all the evil he faced as a kid, and meeting the teen titans, they all shaped him so fundamentally that it's almost hard to think about what his life would be like without those memories
( 𦧠) : how does your muse show care through action rather than words?
he's very attentive and perception, so he can often tell when someone needs some help without even asking. he's always willing to sit in silence with someone or give them a hug / cuddle if they need it, or wordlessly give them food or a drink to make them feel better
( π ) : how does your muse handle work that feels endless or thankless?
dick doesn't honestly care and moves about it normally, because he doesn't work as a hero for thanks. as for the endlessness of it, it definitely wears him down a lot and he certainly does get burnt out. when that happens, he often has to rely on his friends, family, and allies, mostly because he runs himself into the ground and has to, lol
( π’ ) : what does your muse take their time with, even when rushed?
he always takes his time with investigations and crime scenes, because those aren't things you can really rush. he's always methodical and thorough when there's a mystery afoot, so he doesn't miss anything
( π¦ ) : what boundary, once crossed, changes your muse forever?
i guess when / if he kills someone ? something really drastic would have to happen for him to resort to that, but the guilt of his action, even if justified, would definitely haunt him
( π ) : how does your muse ask for affection without directly asking for it?
he just has That Look, the pleading emoji. besides that, he definitely lingers closer to the person he wants affection from, kind of hover and nudging them a little bit and radiating please show me love energy
( π ) : how patient is your muse when waiting for the right moment to act?
again, because he was raised by bruce, he's extremely patient when the situation calls for it. dick prefers to not rush into a situation until he knows what he's up against and would rather wait for the perfect moment to strike rather than just rush in
( π¦ ) : what spooks your muse easily, even if they won't admit it?
very loud, heavy, thumps. i probably don't have to explain why, but he still has nightmares of seeing and hearing his parents fall to their deaths, so any sound similar to that has him flinching even if he knows its going to happen
( π¦’ ) : what does your muse hide beneath a graceful exterior?
all his self doubt, self destructive tendencies, and crippling perfectionism :)
( π¦₯ ) : what does your muse refuse to rush, no matter the consequences?
same thing i said a few questions ago, but he absolutely will not rush any sort of investigation or mystery. he can try and be a little faster if the situation is extremely urgent, but he thinks that the time difference in understanding what they're about to get into rather than just rushing in is worth it
( π ) : how does your muse make themselves smaller to avoid harm?
i wouldn't say he necessarily makes himself smaller, because he already tries to avoid harm but flipping out of the way and such, and just being hard to hit in general
( π ) : does your muse go with the current, or fight it until exhausted?
dick is the epitome of "go with the flow". going with the flow is just so much better than fighting it
( π¦ ) : does your muse feel safer alone, or among others like them?
kind of depends, but in general, he usually feels the safest among his friends and family. he just feels at peace when everyone's together
( π ) : does your muse run from conflict, or freeze and hope it passes?
uh . . . neither. he tries to deescalate first, and then fights if he has to
( π¦ ) : how comfortable is your muse with being misunderstood or feared?
i wouldn't say he's comfortable with it, but he's more or less accepted that people will never know the full him. he tries very very hard not to be feared though, since that's not what he wants to be perceived as at all
( π¦βπ₯ ) : how does your muse reinvent themselves after being destroyed?
much like a phoenix, he has to burn completely and then arise from the ashes and start anew. to reinvent himself, he usually does something big and does a drastic change. the probably biggest example of this is him moving to bludhaven
( π¦ ) : does your muse stop moving when they're hurt? do they push harder?
dick is definitely one that pushes himself harder when he's hurt, and doesn't really stop until the fight is over or he's incapacitated
( π ) : how does your muse announce themselves in a room?
he usually doesn't announce himself at all, but if he wants to be annoying he'll say hello really loud and drag it out, lmao
( π ) : who or what does your muse remain loyal to, even when it hurts them?
above everything, he remains loyal to his friends and family. now if he had to choose . . . now that would be really difficult for him
( π ) : what kind of peace does your muse crave, and why can't they have it?
a totally normal life where he doesn't have to worry about anything besides mundanity. i feel like he could have that, or at least have a family of his own, but dick just can't see himself leaving the hero business and not answering that call. so something would always have to give, and plus having a family immediately puts them in danger for being a way to hurt dick
( π¦ ) : what part of your muse feels out of time or obsolete?
mm, his time in the circus. this is more because of the time he was originally created in, but the peak of the circus has long since gone by the time he was born. the flying graysons were no doubt popular, and probably the last really famous circus act. as such, dick feels like that part of his life just feels outdated compared to more modern acrobatic jobs
( πβπ¦Ί ) : who does your muse feel responsible for protecting?
dick feels responsible for protecting anyone under his care for missions, but as a baseline, he always feels responsible for protecting his family, friends, and the people of bludhaven
β robin. just what do you think you're doing ? β
it's clear that dick wants to call tim by his full name by the tone of his voice, his younger brother saved only by the fact that they were technically on patrol right now. they were staking out some crimelord's headquarters when dick went to the other side of the warehouse to check on something, none the wiser to this bad habit that tim's picked up from god knows where. so imagine his surprise when he catches his brother vaping from a . . . usb drive ( ? ), nearly gasping and giving away they're hiding spot. luckily they were far enough away that the guards were none the wiser of their growing conflict, though unluckily for tim, he still had to deal with his brother's scorn. eyes narrow behind his mask, and a gloved hand reaches out expectantly, waiting for tim to drop the vape in his palm.
β i told you tim, i don't mind. and i know you won't hurt me, or drain me dry. β
tim's concerns are valid, and conner would be lying if he said he wasn't a little hesitant at first. i mean, who wouldn't be at the thought of a vampire drinking exclusively your blood ? but his trust in @timbins was absolute, he knew tim would listen to him even if he was starved or in a frenzy, despite the fact that tim could overpower him easily. besides, conner would also be lying if he said that the heated and hungry look tim gave him sometimes wasn't like a siren's call, beckoning him to a world unfamiliar to him and one of certain destruction. if it were by tim's hands, or more accurately, his fangs, it wouldn't be the worst way to go. fingers intertwine with tim's, gaze certain as they locked eyes.
β see how your worried about me and my wellbeing ? that just proves that you care about me, and just makes me even more sure. i'm always happy when i'm with you, regardless if i'm just your little blood bag or something more. β
