*Death by the waterfront, skipping small stones in the water for the Squid to skip back to her. She's got a bottle of spiced rum by her side, and she takes a swig before holding it out to Raph as he wanders up, not turning around.*

*Raph raises an eyebrow at her method of drinking, and maintains the "uh huh" look while he takes another drink*

Oh nothin' big. Just time.

Oh, is that all? Shouldn't be too much've a problem.

OH yeah, just a zip out and back.
no problem

*he flops back on the ground behind him*

*she looks over her shoulder at him, and pokes him in the ribs*

Hey.

It'll be alright. You'll see.

*winces when she pokes*

Hey, careful there. I fought Batman today.

He's eight years old.

Ah, poor Bruce...

Eight year olds are dangerous. Trust me, I was eight once.
Little bastard bit me

Kid's gonna have it rough, that's for damn sure.

He bit you? *she grins*

Don't mess with th' Bat.

Rough, psychopathic, brutally determined... Not a life I'd wish on anyone. But then, it's his...

*partially removes the bandage on his arm. There is a clear bite mark*

Damn humans and their thin skin. Musta happened after he kicked me, cause I didn't feel it until I saw it.

*sees the grin*
Oh yeah, it's a laugh riot.

Well, well, well. I guess milk teeth can be sharp.

You really shouldn't've tossed him in the lake, Raph.

Oh, you had a better idea? Funny how I didn't hear it.

*snags bottle and takes a long pull*

Like he would have wanted to hear anything I had to say at that point?

Might've listened to you, though.

...of course, taking into account the way he was kicking, you weren't really in a mood to talk to him....

...but somehow, I don't think that's what's eating you.

Hey, in my defense, I tried talking to him. He wasn't havin' it. 'Sides, he needed to cool down. Was gonna walk in with him, 'til he started in with the kicking.

*raises an eyebrow*
Oh please, do tell. I'm always up for a good "What Raph is thinking" theory.

Bruce isn't what you'd call the most reasonable guy in the world. At any age, I suppose.

And, honestly, I don't have much of a clue. I don't know what's been happening while I've been away.

Aww you're just sayin' that cause he grows up wanting to be vengence in a bat costume.

No offense, but I'm kinda glad. It's a little too noisey in here as it is.
*he taps the side of his head*

As for the goings on, let's see.
*makes a show of scratching his chin in thought*
Got some new folks. Lost some regulars.
Your brother is tormenting a kid cause he pissed of Snow.
And uh....i got a girlfriend.

*There's a pause. And a slow smile. Not a trace of sadness. She ruffles his hair*

That's my boy.

Who's the unfortunate kid?

*bats her hands away, playfully*
Her name is Penny.

...

Oh you meant the one that Snow is picking on by proxi.
That's Andrew.

Well, if Andrew isn't permanently curled into a little shivering ball, or condemned to Hell... I'd say he's doing pretty well.

True enough.
Guess Snow was a little fed up with the kid's fanboying. So everytime he does it, he'll get nightmares.

I told him, if it makes him feel any better, I'd have just broken his legs.
*shrug*

For Dream? That's mild. That's really mild. Not even a slap on the wrist.

But tell me about your girl.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Don't like the idea of Snow even asking Dream for something like that.

Name's Penny Lane.
*waits for some look of recognition from Death*

Ahh. *it looks like she's familiar with the name... she looks at Raph*

Relax. I meet everyone twice. You might want to make sure she doesn't party too hard, though.

*smirks*
I know the drill.
Just wanted to see your reaction.

Know all about the thing with Russell and the Ludes.
He's lucky I can't get to her time from here, otherwise we'd have to have a chat.

You know, somehow, I suspected just as much.

*chuckles*
Which part?
