I can help you out if you want. A lot of people have said Chinese is harder than English, but it's the opposite for me. What's your name anyway?

I would appreciate that.

My name is Dick Grayson.

Nice to meet you. I’m Korra.

Crap, I already said that. Sorry, I’m having trouble focusing with all the notes I’ve been writing down. Who taught you Chinese?

It is okay.

My father is a businessman, so I travel to China frequently. I learned how to speak it by listening and talking to the Chinese people I met. Our translator also helped me.

[Not entirely lying, but he did study a bit more than he's letting on.]

Oh? Is your father here too or is he back home like my parents are?

You're doing exceptionally well. I'm hoping my English can be as good as your Chinese one day.

[He's just going to keep it simple.]

Yes. He is a businessman here too. But his Chinese is not as good as mine is.

I have had years to learn. You have started learning English only recently, right?

A lot of businessmen have been showing up lately. A lot of suits, you know? Which one’s your dad? I only know a couple of people who have family here.

…must be nice.

His name is Bruce Wayne.

It is nice to have family with me, even if I worry about their safety.

Wait, your father is Bruce Wayne??

So you're Damian's brother! He's been real helpful and nice since I got here. Were you traveling the world with him too?

Edited (Grammar, WAT?) 2013-06-26 02:29 (UTC)

Yes, he is my brother.

No. We're-- I don't know how to explain it in Chinese. Not from the same world.

[He's never needed to talk about alternate dimensions in Chinese before.]

Oh! I know of some brothers who are from different worlds too. They're like cousins.

Wait, does that mean your father is from your world or his?

No, he is my brother.

[It takes a little mental untangling, but he figures out what she's talking about. Chinese, man. Still gives him some trouble.]

He is from my brother's world.

That's good you think of it that way. They treat each other like brothers but insist on cousins. It's kind of silly, but I respect what they prefer.

[But Chinese is so easy compared to English!]

Does they feel the same as the Damian and Bruce you know?

It might be harder for some people. My idea of family is very unique.

I do not know Damian back home. We haven't met yet. Bruce is very similar.

[A lie, but he's protecting Bruce's 'playboy billionaire' cover]

You didn't know your brother? Wow, I'm sorry.

But at least your dad's familiar, right? Are you working for his company?

No, he is from the future.

[Ouch. :( Yeah he'll just pretend that his relationship with Bruce isn't complicated.]

Yes I do.

Now I see how you didn’t know him before. That must be awkward.

I’m a fisher for Finnick. What does your father have you doing? I don’t know anything about the Wayne company.

A little. But I am used to it.

I do whatever is needed. I do a lot with the charitable part of Wayne Enterprises.

[Whew, that took a long time to type. Bruce would be disappointed at how bad his Mandarin has gotten.]

Charity huh? Well that sounds good. Had no idea Mr. Wayne was a softie like that. I’ll bet that comes in handy every time some satellite decides to fall on everyone’s face.

So do you all share one suite or is there a place at the main Wayne building?

Many people only see one side of him.

We live in our assigned houses but we visit often.

Only side I really know of aside from that-guy-that-hires-foreigners actually. So you work for your dad, but what else do you do around Keeliai Dick? I know there aren’t any sports to play.

I have a few other jobs. My hobby back home was gymnastics. I do not have many instances to use it.

Can you at least practice it? I don’t know of any real gym places here, but I have a workout area on my second floor if you want to use it sometime. Don’t think I have the set up for it though.
