08 ❄ ( TEXT )

[ After dropping by to see his fellow Guardian and give him the good news about the lifted rationing for kids, Jack's good mood completely deflates as he discovers Bunny's suite empty save for the warren-like growth inside of it and several caches of chocolates and other sweets left around. It's a while before Jack wants to do anything other than sit among the greenery and tell himself this is all right and that it's probably for the best.

Eventually he rouses himself, gathers all the edibles he can find and brings them back to his own suite. He'll disperse them between the kids and the food bank when he feels like he wants to deal with anyone else, but he has to at least let people know. ]

Bunnymund has gone back home
he was...
someone might need to take over caring for the wood sector
sorry.

okay good.

you can if you want
i'm learning with the east wind.

[ Because it's something to do, and something he needs to do on top of that, so it's a perfect distraction. ]

[Paaaause.]

That is not the wind that you usually talk with, is it?

no that's the north
it needs a break in this weather too
have to teach the east how to carry me
beats walking

[Yes, good, at least his powers of observation aren't off.]

I understand. I would be curious as to what you find the differences to be, after you both learn.

[ That's kind of a surprise, and Jack stares at the message for a moment as though wondering if he's supposed to catch a metaphor. ]

sure no problem.
how come?

I may not be able to use such knowledge directly, but it is never clear when having it will turn needed. In case you are in need of assistance that I cannot provide, for example.

[ You're too good to him, Damian. ]

okay.
maybe we'll set up a meet and greet huh.

[... never ever say that out loud. He only used that as an example, but he doesn't exactly think the Winds would actually help him for many reasons other than Jack.]

Would that be something that might help?

maybe.
you're always jumping around and off rooftops
they've gotten kind of curious about you.

[... after about a full minute.]

I am not the only one who does that.

i know
i never said you were the only one
they were curious about either.
but they seem to like you.

[... what.]

I strongly suspect they mean the other Robin.

I'm pretty sure they can tell you apart
there's a height thing.
but we can go with that if you want.

Not that much of a height thing. I don't exactly give people much reason to like me.

<font face="courier new><b>and yet a lot of people do like you guess you must be doing something right!</font></b>

I would not go so far as to say they are a lot. And some of them, even here, approve of Robin's actions, rather than - like Damian.

don't tempt me to take a poll
because you know I will
I'm shameless like that

[ He wouldn't actually because he wasn't about to go around publically comparing Damian and Robin -- which the younger one should know -- but the genuine intention of the tease is there. If there was a way he could do it without compromising those identities, he totally would. ]

It would probably prove that most of the people either don't know or don't care about me. Which I am all right with.

[Mostly, and most of the time...]

agree to disagree on that.

[ There's a pause, Jack realizing that he's awfully lighthearted given what prompted his initial point of contact, feels the smile falter slightly before stubbornly recovering. ]

but maybe later.
Bunny... there's lots of chocolate left.
I'm going to keep some for the kids but then
I have to take the rest to mr rogers's food bank
he wouldn't want it to go to waste.
talk to you later?

Maybe agree to disagree.

[Shh, he's comparing himself to some pretty charismatic people, of course he comes short, in his mind's eye.]

That is a sensible thing to do with it. Do you need help? If not, yes. Later.

I can manage it but thanks.

[ Not that he doesn't appreciate the offer, he just isn't right for company right now. ]

Understood.

[And disconnect. Damian does not care that much about why, simply that his help is not wanted, so he will find something else to do. Sometimes, things are startlingly easy, with him.]
