You're very confident, aren't you? [ glass houses, bruce.

he grins.
]

Toss me the glove and a ball.
conceptualise: (axiom.)

I know.

[ he says nothing else as he tugs the glove over his left hand. as he retreats a few steps, he tosses the ball into the glove a couple of times to get used to it. once in position, he lifts his head. ]

Ready?
conceptualise: (oscillate.)

[ here's the windup...and the pitch!

he won't get any points for finesse, but the ball does fly toward dick.
]
conceptualise: (bound.)

[ bruce smiles sheepishly. ]

Is it that obvious?

[ he throws again with about the same amount ( see: lack ) of skill. the most that can be said is that his pitch doesn't fall short. ]
conceptualise: (odds.)

[ fumbling a little, bruce catches it again. plucking the ball from the glove, he gives a little shake of his head. ]

I prefer it. I don't receive any visitors aside from Detective Gordon.
conceptualise: (dimensions.)

[ bruce cants his head. the throw comes slower this time. ]

How come?
conceptualise: (high.)

[personal profile] conceptualise 2014-12-13 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ bruce follows the trajectory with a grin. he jogs after it to retrieve it. ]

Do you still want to bat? [ he calls once he's returned, ball safely in the glove. ]
conceptualise: (negative.)

[personal profile] conceptualise 2014-12-13 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ curses.

lifting an eyebrow, he makes the trade. bruce imitates dick's hold on the bat. taking up dick's previous position, he waits for the other boy to throw.
]

Who is the man you said? Who's taking care of you.

[ by some miracle, the bat manages to connect. he sends the ball flying toward the ground, rolling quickly past dick. bruce grins. ]

I might. [ because he obsessively follows everything gordon does but let's keep that to ourselves. ] Is he another police officer?
conceptualise: (rate.)

He must be very clever. What of your parents?

[ too personal, maybe, but his curiosity got the best of him. ]
conceptualise: (noble.)

[ that could mean almost anything. abandonment. getting lost. being arrested. except bruce is also left scrambling for purchase when he's asked about his parents. somehow nothing he can say is right, and he blurts out the first thing to come to mind — on the rare occasion he doesn't bite on his tongue to prevent something awful from coming out.

bruce lowers the bat. he doesn't need to ask what dick means. the pearls feel heavy in his pocket. when he finds words, he speaks without pity. only soft curiosity and a willingness to listen.
]

Did you have an act?
conceptualise: (if.)

[personal profile] conceptualise 2014-12-17 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ he listens without interruption, and without visible reaction. he smoothed his features while dick spoke. this was dick's story; he didn't want to disrespect dick or his trust by trying to make it about him. when he's done, bruce pulls his lower lip between his teeth. ]

Were they brought to trial? The ones responsible?
conceptualise: (beta.)

[personal profile] conceptualise 2014-12-18 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ good, he thinks a little too savagely. he has to take a moment to swallow his anger. ]

And you helped. [ dick doesn't seem the type to sit around any more than bruce.

a little pause, and he quirks a tiny, kindly smile.
] I wish I could have seen you perform. I'm sure you're incredible.
