You shouldn't, because if I can manage it I'm having someone do your eyebrows, too.

[feroces]

How is that supposed to make me feel better? My eyebrows are not the problem here.

[knightbynight]

I thought the idea was to make other people feel better about you, not to make you feel better.

[feroces]

You just told me I shouldn't like this plan... And I know it's not for me. I just don't see how my eyebrows will make people feel better. That's what you're supposed to be there for.

[knightbynight]

You don't see how not looking perpetually pissed off will help?

I'll do my part. Part of that's making you approachable. Your eyebrows aren't.

[feroces]

I do not look perpetually pissed off. [Bruce could probably hear the growl in Derek's voice through the text.]

... Fine. We better make it 10:30, then. I want enough time to see what's going on and stop you from making me look ridiculous.

[knightbynight]

Think about who you're dealing with - the sort of people they are, the lives they lead. It may help you reassure them.

I'm not going to make you look ridiculous but if you're willing to come earlier make it nine. You could use a manicure, too.

[feroces]

Yeah, I know the people. Better to be vicious and cutthroat in private than in public. I'll play along, though. I'll do what I need to do.

Maybe we can just have a sleepover and braid each other's hair too!! A manicure, really? You remember that I have claws, right?

[knightbynight]

But not physically threatened or used to being physically threatened.

Yes, and so do they. Get the manicure. We'll skip the sleepover.

[feroces]

Not anymore, thanks to a certain vigilante.

Fine... I'll get the manicure, but we're doing my feet too.

[knightbynight]

Believe it or not they were never the primary target for Gotham's criminals. That's part of what allowed the criminals to flourish.

I'm not doing any part of you but we can have someone else do them.

[feroces]

As long as they aren't hitting the "important" people, there's nobody with the means to do something about it to care?

I can't imagine you'd be any good at it anyway.

[knightbynight]

It isn't really that simple.

I'm sadistic enough not to be horrible, but too apathetic to be good. And I'd have to touch you.

[feroces]

Is it ever?

You haven't always had an issue with touching me in the past.

[knightbynight]

That isn't simple, either.

Yes, I have.

[feroces]

Yeah, when you're being stubborn about it for no reason.

[knightbynight]

You not wanting to understand the reason isn't the same as not having one.

But you're half right and the rest absolutely dead wrong.

[feroces]

It's not that I don't want to understand, and more that you never feel like explaining it to me.

[knightbynight]

I thought it was obvious.

[feroces]

I'm a wolf, Bruce. I'm not psychic. Every little scrap of personal information that I know about you was like pulling teeth.

[knightbynight]

You're right. I've never protested touching you. I have protested being touched by you.

[feroces]

Because you don't like not being in control? Or because it makes you feel vulnerable?

[knightbynight]

I don't like not being in control. That isn't the reason why. It doesn't make me feel vulnerable, either, though some of the circumstances might. [Might. That is not an admission.]

[feroces]

Then what is it? After everything going on lately, you should at least trust me.

[knightbynight]

I trust you as much as I trust anyone and more than I trust most.

I just don't like it; it feels strange.
