Are you worried I'll hit a goose.

[reneger]

or a crow
those assholes will hold grudges forever

[torchbearer]

I'll take my chances.

[reneger]

you know it's bright as hell out there right now, right

[torchbearer]

Are you talking about. Daytime.

[reneger]

no
i'm talking about the goddamn sky

( what else would he be talking about. )

[torchbearer]

It's fine. My mask handles that stuff.

[reneger]

i'd burn that high up

[torchbearer]

You won't.

Not with the ring.

[reneger]

i'm a delicate flower
are you sure your ring can protect my pale as hell skin

[torchbearer]

It depends on how delicate you're feeling.

[reneger]

i'm being an asshole
i go outside when the sun's out
occasionally
and i don't usually burn that easily

[torchbearer]

I tan. I never knew why until I found my dad.

[reneger]

i freckle, tan, and burn all at the same time
couldn't tell you why
i'd have to run another background check on myself for that

[torchbearer]

It never hurts to know.

Well. It can, but it's worth it.

[reneger]

i know who my parents were
just never bothered to track further back than that, wasn't much point

[torchbearer]

Maybe there isn't a point.

But it can surprise you.

[reneger]

or it'll just confirm i'm another gotham alley mutt

[torchbearer]

Like you mind that.

[reneger]

i'm fine how i am
when are you coming back in

[torchbearer]

I'm just around the corner.

[reneger]

good

( because he's waiting, lounging on the couch while idly twirling the construct knife around his fingers. )

[ kyle flies through the window, glancing at jason. ]

Were you waiting long?

[reneger]

I wasn't really waiting.

( but he is taking his nice shiny green knife and tossing it straight for kyle. or not straight for him, because it's aimed just slightly above his shoulder and isn't meant to hit anything outside of the wall behind him. )

[torchbearer]

[ kyle doesn't flinch, just eyes the walls where the knife is embedded. ]

Should I ask?
