[yeah, Dick knows he's being followed and has kind of been making a game of it]
[he's in town running an errand for Bruce, and while he's no where near done, that's on hold for a little while, while he waits for Barbara and Alfred to get back to him on something. it may end up taking them awhile -- if not the rest of the night, then at least a couple of hours, if the fact that Alfred suggested he go back to the hotel and catch a nap was any indication. and yeah, he could have done that, could have lost her fairly easily with the acrobatics (he's been doing that part of things since he was a kid, born into the circus, the son of trapeze artists), this is way more fun. he'll let her catch up eventually, maybe, and see what this is all about, but -- ]
[hey, wait. where'd she go?]
[he stops on a rooftop, tensed, half-expecting her to jump out of no where and onto him (maybe he let her get too close?), and when nothing comes, backtracks the way he came, and oh. are we having a fight scene? he thinks we're having a fight scene]
[that in mind, he releases the mag lock on the escrima sticks he wears on his back and reaches to pull them free. that done and without charging them up (they work like stun batons, when he wants them to), he takes a dive off of his perch to land next to her] Hi. [a beat] Bad guys?
