did she sigh? maybe at his response ( or her own lack of clarity. ) sometimes, words were more dangerous than back alley thugs and supervillains. comparing them to her skills in combat — well, her litany of ways to express herself was deeply lacking. all too often, she knew, that she came off as vague or obtuse. it's better at home, though, better with people who speak in action over words: that really spoke cass. still, there's a problem, and batkids... are pretty good at coming up with a solution.
❛ very. ❜ she surmised — in the dark, the faintest smile plays on her lips. scaling the walls would've been easier, springing between the towering brick walls. could've done it in her sleep, too; it's her first instinct, actually. but, she freezes. civilian, right. thus, her plan changes. luckily, there's a fire escape nearby. better than nothing for getting them off the streets ( and away from the thugs that'd come looking for their buddies. ) it's gotham; nobody goes anywhere alone. jerking her chin towards the ladder, she reaches for it — rising on her tiptoes, although doomed to fall short. ❛ mind giving me a boost, er, ... ❜ right, she never asked his name.
Yusuke thought the Japanese underworld was ripe with dangers, the West really had arguments to share. While most crimes were organized in Japan, Gotham demonstrated exactly what chaos meant. However, lucky for him he’s even found himself a partner in crime on this night to aid him in the fighting. Ha, his mother would never believe him when he tells her he’s gotten into a little scrap and he wasn’t the one who caused it. Once she extended her hand he realized once again that this isn’t Japan and so Yusuke responds in kind by shaking her hand, holding her firmly.
━━ ❝ 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧. ❞ Not because he felt she has a good grip of her own, but just the way she moved..like she’s accustomed in taking down the local thugs and if that was the case he was beginning to feel sorry for them. “Up..” He then looks up, the only thing he’s able to see beyond the opposing walls that make this alley was the cold starless night. “Don’t exactly see an elevator t’ get up there.”

a pause [...] dark brown eyes find them, a moment contemplation—— an unconscious read. pinching lips, knitting brows, faintest hints of a sneer. [ frustration. ] for a moment, it lingers, she lets it. allowing yusuke a second of reprieve while organizing their own thoughts. gotham streets were far from places to tarry—— no shortage of foxes lurking among the hens. although; could she claim to be different? if foxes stalk hens, then [...] bats stalk foxes, strange. lips curve into a gentle smile, cold shell wavering, a flicker of kindness on faintly scarred countenance. she thinks about sharing this with the others—— babs—— steph—— everyone &. realizes, maybe, she's a little lucky after all.
extending hand towards him, a gesture of good faith, goodwill although faintest bit wary. ( aware enough of others' temperament. ) / none to eager to brawl in busy streets.
❛ up. ❜

warm gaze softens, lips curling into an almost knowing smile. ( he knows a lot, but not everything. ) knows when to pursue—— knows when to withhold judgment. knows when to be kind &. even more so when to be stern. lessons from his parents, more often than not, hold true ... no matter how obstinate they seemed in youth. coarse around the edges, a bit crass, but those're external things. things people look at before knowing the real you. ( whether that's biting remarks—— or a blue super suit. )
❛ yeah, maybe a little, ❜ he admits ... sugar coating isn't helpful, not to him or them. ❛ but you're mature enough to admit it. mature enough to apologize, too, i bet. ❜ words drip with commendation, still offering not only correction but guidance. words he would want to hear himself, at times. ❛ besides, ❜ a sunny smile, a gentle laugh. ❛ you're not the only one who's messed up. ma and pa nearly rang my bell when i 'borrowed' the pickup. compared to that—— well, you're doing alright, yusuke. ❜
