[Letting out a long breath, Dick tries to let himself settle into some sort of a comfortable feeling. This is the person he's been missing. The hollowed out cheeks and tired, yet piercing eyes that can read a person whether that person realizes he's doing it or not. Bruce is a lot of things to Dick and there are so many feelings attached to that.

He's been working on the resentment and pain, so now it's hollowed out and he's left with a lot of things he's not even sure how to begin to process. ]

Let's hope that doesn't happen to either of us any time soon. Despite popular opinion, I do care about you a great deal and it would really suck if we died.

[He laughs softly and finishes off his drink. It feels warm filling his stomach and the rush to his brain is enough to relax him further into his setting. ]

We don't need food to speak for us. We can talk you know. I came because I missed your company Bruce. I know I left to find out who I was on my own, but I haven't figured that out yet.
