[ . . . . ]

Doesn't make it right by any means.

It just means that we have to finish it off before we lose any more - now that the end's in sight.

We will.

[ she, at least, sounds as confident about that as she did on their first day here. if... more tired. ]

No one will accept any less.

They won't.

[ . . . ]

What will you do, when it's over?

[it might be nice - to talk about something a little more hopeful, than discuss what they've lost.]

Go back to Gotham.

[ it's an immediate reply. and then a pause ]

That's the city where I live. I'm bringing the idiots with me.

Oh, we talked about this once...

[it feels

so fucking long ago]

Back to helping others and hating men a little?

Pretty much. The job doesn't stop just because you get kidnapped for four months.

[ ... it's been so long wow ]

[she'll

say it out loud]

... wow. Four months.

Pretty terrible, isn't it? And time doesn't like, pass or anything, right? So you're just randomly four months older than you're supposed to be and your birthday no longer lines up.

[ . . . . . ]

I wonder if it's been my birthday...?

[she hadn't thought about it.]

How many do you think we've missed? This place doesn't even have calendars.

Going by the amount of people who are here...?

Probably a couple, if I'm honest.

[she hums thoughtfully]

.... perhaps a celebration after the final battle is in order.

For many reasons.

I was telling Dimitri that we should go to Disney.

[ she had to explain what disney was and she assumes she will have to here, too, ]

It's an amusement park, like the one that was at the temple, but bigger and fancier.

Taking Dimitri anywhere that isn't the snow sounds like a good idea.

[she sounds fond and perhaps just a bit sad.

but she will not talk about it.]

Would we take everyone to Disney?

Yes.

[ ... ]

We will definitely get kicked out, but yes.

Worth it...?

[ a nod ]

Completely worth it.

[she nods in return]

Then let's do that.

Everyone deserves a break after this.

A fun trip and then a very long nap.

[ ... although if they include everyone who is napping, then this is going to be a very large field trip. ]

[she sighs wistfully]

Oh, how I miss having a bed with the proper amount of space and pillows.

[THE PERFECT PLACE TO NAP]

[ talking about big beds is how they ended up talking about banging in that one girl talk thread ]

Bunk beds really don't give you a lot of privacy.

[let's not do that again,]

There's not even enough pillows on any individual bed - and they aren't remotely comfortable!

They're really popular when you're like, kids.

[ they are too old for this ]

[she tilts her head]

Why?

Because children get less space in their rooms in commoner households?

Maybe try to not call them commoner households?

[ . . . . . . . ]

Households?
