It's not callous of me to say I'm glad you're not him, right? Cassie said he died. I don't want to know how or why -- don't need that kind of imagery in my head -- I just...
I don't even know. I guess I wanted to confirm it from a closer source.
[That's sent lightning-quick, because Dick is, if nothing else, very self-aware. Dick knows himself, he knows his mind and he knows how he perceives the world. He knows how he reacts to things, and he reacted to his parents' deaths by getting justice and by holding fast to the new family he'd gotten.
He also knows Bruce, and that Bruce wouldn't react well to what he would read as a failure on his own part.]
Yeah, well, see that you don't lapse on that, okay? Dying is weird here, but that doesn't mean we don't want to prevent it.
[He holds on to his Dreamberry for another minute, before taking a deep breath and keying another text.]
and I'm sorry for... Stuff. I guess I didn't like the idea of Batman deciding that just anyone can do what I do, but if the other guy died and you looked at that and said "sign me up," you two can't be just anyone.
