Re: August 13th, dawn

[noitatnacni]

[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.

[teenwonder]

[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.]

Re: August 13th, dawn

[noitatnacni]

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.

Re: August 13th, dawn

[teenwonder]

So, uh.

[A long pause.]

Do. You still want to?

Re: August 13th, dawn

[noitatnacni]

I think I already answered that.

[GEEZ Robin. Pay attention.]

Re: August 13th, dawn

[teenwonder]

[HE'S BAD AT THIS OKAY.]

... But why?

Re: August 13th, dawn

[noitatnacni]

[CLEARLY.]

Is it that hard to figure out?

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

I like you.

Re: August 13th, dawn

[teenwonder]

[what language are you speaking, Zatanna?]

...But. We're teammates.

Re: August 13th, dawn

[noitatnacni]

[English :|]

And?

Re: August 13th, dawn

[teenwonder]

[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?]

Re: August 13th, dawn

[noitatnacni]

[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.]

Re: August 13th, dawn

[teenwonder]

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

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

Re: August 13th, dawn

[noitatnacni]

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

[Half-serious.]

Re: August 13th, dawn

[teenwonder]

[GIRLS ARE CONFUSING.]

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

Re: August 13th, dawn

[noitatnacni]

...Really?

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

Re: August 13th, dawn

[teenwonder]

You don't have enough privacy here.

[Artemis is RIGHT THERE, Z.]

Re: August 13th, dawn

[noitatnacni]

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

Afraid someone will walk in on us like Jason did?

Re: August 13th, dawn

[teenwonder]

[It almost makes him snort.]

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

Re: August 13th, dawn

[noitatnacni]

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

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

Re: August 13th, dawn

[teenwonder]

We'll alternate.

[He's got projects to think about.]

Re: August 13th, dawn

[noitatnacni]

Do I get to be penciled in on your schedule?

[That's seriously what this is sounding like. For the record? Not really romantic.]

Re: August 13th, dawn

[teenwonder]

I'll make room.

[You signed up for this, Z.]

Re: August 13th, dawn

[noitatnacni]

How generous of you.

[Uh huh. But Robin knows what they say about rules, right?]

So what's your schedule look like now?

Re: August 13th, dawn

[teenwonder]

It looks like I'm clear until tonight.

[Because who even needs to sleep ever, right? Right?]

Re: August 13th, dawn

[noitatnacni]

[Clearly not a pair of teenagers who are...whatever they are now.]

I'd say that's pretty convenient. [So she steps closer, and raises a hand to his face--but not to touch, strictly speaking. If he lets her, she's going to take off his mask. The movements are pretty easy to read though, in case Robin wants to stop her.]
