[go to bed]

I am, but it beats hearing Lup nag me to hell and back.

[shaft]

[ you go to bed?

hehe, he grins. ]

She cares about you. Sometimes friends can be a bit of a nag.

[unrecked]

[no]

What? She doesn't even know me, how can she care? You speaking from personal experience?

[OH SHIT IT'S LIKE 1 AM HELLO]

[shaft]

[ OH SHIT ok yea goes to bed ig ]

You've never met someone with a bleeding heart?

[unrecked]

[goodbye forever]

Unfortunately. This isn't exactly the place to be having a bleeding heart.

[shaft]

[ he's feeling a little restless, so he's going to grab a training bow and quiver to practice ]

Maybe, but I actually envy it a little. [ thoughtful ] You're worried?

[unrecked]

[What the hell are you so antsy about, Claude.]

I'm not going to bite. [Jason isn't too bad of a read on people, but that's only because he's a Bat.] Worried about what? Bleeding hearts?

[shaft]

[ His friend died and then someone else awkwardly died today... He's feeling itchy!! ]

That's right.

[unrecked]

[AWKWARDLY DIED come on, claude, it's just some death]

Mm. A little, I guess. It's no skin off my teeth, but it'll be rough for the people who give a shit.

[As if Jason Todd doesn't give a shit.]

[shaft]

Uh huh.

[ He doesn't sound convinced. Also, he visibly seems to lose some tension as he starts shooting arrows. Violence is so calming. ]

Anyway, I think it'll be rough regardless.

[unrecked]

[Jason will immediately vouch to violence being the most calming thing.]

Sure, but not as rough as getting attached to people here on top of having a hostage. This is probably going to be a competition for the most part.

[Why does he continue to act like he doesn't have feelings?]

[shaft]

[ Because he's a tsundere. ]

You mean who can kill everyone else the fastest?

[unrecked]

If they’re stupid maybe. If we’re here for entertainment, I don’t know if nuking everyone immediately is going to be a great idea.

[ stop ]

[shaft]

Then—

[ The string catches against his finger, and he jerks back. ]

Ow.

[unrecked]

…

[Peers at him.]

Thought you were supposed to be an archer? I’m telling you, guns are so much easier…

[shaft]

[ Whips around at points at him. ]

Concerned?

[unrecked]

[Slaps his hand idk if he is even close enough.]

No. Why are you so weird?

[shaft]

Blame it on my weird upbringing.

[ He looks a little put out. ]

[unrecked]

[Idiot.]

You good? [Your hand.] Got a pal who does archery.

[shaft]

I'm fine. [ smiles brightly ] Thanks for asking.

[unrecked]

[Looks at him.]

You’re being weird again.

[shaft]

Maybe I'm just a strange person.

[unrecked]

Actually, I get the impression you're the person I have to keep my eye on the most.

[He curls his fingers at Claude.]

Let me try.

[shaft]

I'm flattered?

[ Hm!

But he will hand over the bow and quiver, curious to see how Jason does. ]

[unrecked]

[He let’s Claude keep the quiver, only taking an arrow out of it, and he takes the bow with the grace of someone familiar with it.

The arrow gets nocked, and though there is the natural tension of pulling the bowstring back, Jason has enough strength in his arms and chest to do it rather easily. For a guy with a hair-trigger temper and guns, he’s surprisingly steady and patient with the aim.

When he fires, he doesn’t do it perfectly, but he’s not too bad.]
