You said you wanted to talk. You weren't ready when I got here.

[How is that even weird. You're weird.]

Edited 2013-08-19 03:37 (UTC)

Uh huh. And do I want to ask when you got here?

[Aka how long he's been watching her sleep?]

A little after sunrise.

Passed out, though. Sorry about that.

Funny thing about that? People tend to nod off like that when they've been up all night.

[Just saying.]

But I guess that means we're talking now. [She hesitates, then tacks on a bit more in case he doesn't know what she means.] About what happened on the roof.

Occupational hazard.

[But then she brings up the roof and he's substantially more tense.]

...Yeah. We sure are talking about that.

[Tense may not be bad. It could just be nervous, which Zatanna definitely feels. But since she's the one who asked to talk, and who's brought it up, it's only fair that she starts, right?

Right. Deep breath, then. And also? Ignoring how her cheeks burn redder as she talks.]

Yeah. Because I don't think it was a bad thing. I mean, we were going way too fast and I know that's because of what happened with the fake lives and all, but--I liked it.

[He's tomato red now, head deliberately downcast. And here he'd just finished making Jason agree to keep him in check until they could be sure everything was back to the way it should have been.]

It was.. Unprofessional of me to do that to you. I owe you an apology.

[Wait did she say she liked it? That's. Not what he was expecting.]

An apology?

[Not really what Zatanna is expecting to hear, especially not after that little confession. She shakes her head slowly, unsure exactly of how she should take that.]

Last time I checked, there were two of us up there. And I want--wanted to. As much as you did.

So, uh.

[A long pause.]

Do. You still want to?

I think I already answered that.

[GEEZ Robin. Pay attention.]

[HE'S BAD AT THIS OKAY.]

... But why?

[CLEARLY.]

Is it that hard to figure out?

[She grins a little, glancing down at the floor.]

I like you.

[what language are you speaking, Zatanna?]

...But. We're teammates.

[English :|]

And?

[ARE NOT.]

Don't you think that'll get in the way of our working relationship?

[Does it not also imply he'll have to stop working sometime?]

[Are too. And it's not even backwards.]

That depends. Are you going to make out with me when we're in the middle of a fight?

[YEAH but there are benefits to that. The aforementioned making out possibly being one of them.]

That probably wouldn't be the best time for that...

[Because he's having trouble telling if she's being serious.]

Then I'd say our working relationship is pretty safe.

[Half-serious.]

[GIRLS ARE CONFUSING.]

Then it sounds like I'm going to have to show you how to get into my apartment.

...Really?

[That--isn't exactly what she'd been expecting him to say. Huh.]

You don't have enough privacy here.

[Artemis is RIGHT THERE, Z.]

[Oooh. Now she gets it. Which means she gets to tease him about it.]

Afraid someone will walk in on us like Jason did?

[It almost makes him snort.]

He still might. Breaking and entering is one of our training exercises.

We might be better off here then. Artemis will at least knock first.

[Somehow she doesn't think Jason will be that courteous.]

We'll alternate.

[He's got projects to think about.]
