what are you going to do about it, then?

[theotherobin]

how about i answer one of your questions.

[violents]

any question?

[theotherobin]

[uh oh.]

any question.

[violents]

[ she should go for something personal, this is her chance to learn more about him with (supposedly) no repercussions. except they've had so goddamn much personal lately she can't bring herself to do it. ]

when you were a kid, before the sidekick gig, back before everything went to shit and you still thought you could do anything in the world, what did you want to be?

[theotherobin]

[the question still feels pretty damn personal... and unexpected. maybe it's the wording of it too. when he was a kid, back before everything went to shit.

how does he tell her that there never was a time before that? he lived in shit from the very start. how does he tell her that his first memories are of hiding under the table, trying to stay as small as possible as his father slammed his mother against the wall, yelling at her for not sharing the drugs she scored that night?]

can't really remember. don't think there was anything specific i wanted to be. feel like I already knew I'd never get that chance.

[ maybe it's the simple fact that, up until she went searching for her birth-father and answers, rose lived a fairly charmed life, but his response makes her ache for him. she doesn't do softness, was never supposed to get this close to any of the titans, but she fucked up. finds herself trying to distract him. ]

i wanted to be a mermaid. and a veterinarian.
possibly at the same time.

[theotherobin]

[it's a good distraction, cause the last thing he wants to do is talk about himself. at least that's all her question was, though.]

think you could've pulled it off. you've got the hair for it.

[violents]

yeah? it's not exactly ariel, but she was always fucking lame anyway.
who gives their voice up for some guy she doesn't even know?

[theotherobin]

guess she just knew there was something there between them. i dunno, i think it's kinda romantic.

[violents]

seriously? until she got her voice back, she was closer to being one of those creepy plankton things than to getting the guy.

[theotherobin]

wasn't her fault though. he was a fucking idiot.

[violents]

should have known you were a romantic. tony and maria are as star-crossed as they come.

[theotherobin]

guess you've figured me out, huh. don't tell anyone tho, okay? it's only for you.

[violents]

[ the thought shouldn’t appeal as much as it does. it’s sappy, sweet and cliche and she doesn’t deserve it. ]

your secret’s safe with me. just don’t expect me to go playing damsel in distress. i prefer to rescue myself.

[theotherobin]

don't want you to be anyone else but yourself, Rose. that's what i like the most about you.
