Yeah, I figured. [siiiigh] It's just- ... I don't know. I guess it's easier to deal with Bruce because I know all the big guys are always doing that weird alternate universe stuff? With Tim, it's like... it's like if you didn't know who I was.
[She greets Cass with a hug when she opens the door, contemplating a kiss on the cheek but still not knowing how to do this thing??? She's dumbass.]
Hey. [Her smile is a little half-hearted, but widens at the ice cream because HELL YES ICE CREAM]
Come in. [She leads Cass to her room, where maybe a few things have been purpled, but less than when she first arrived. As she plops onto her bed, she lets out a big groanish sigh.]
[ well, cass is going for the cheek kiss regardless. once they're in her room, she puts down the shopping bag and drops onto the bed next to her, slipping an arm over steph to pull her closer. ]
[Thank you, Cass, for being the more experienced gay. Steph leans into her, letting out yet another sigh.]
I don't knoooow. Probably? It's probably good to talk, right? But this feels like such an insane thing I don't even know what to say. Which is a lot, given our whole situation.
[ well, she can't help smiling at how steph all of this is. just gonna start stroking her hair, nbd ]
It's good to talk, yeah. But it's... okay, if you don't... know how to yet? Won't push you. [ cass takes a breath, squeezing briefly. ] Everything's crazy. I get it.
[ some corner of her mind is like "the ice cream's gonna melt" ]
It's just... are there rules for this sort of thing? Maybe someone's written some etiquette book? How to talk to your ex-boyfriend from another universe after you just started dating his sister? And I feel like I'm supposed to know how to handle it cause hey, Batgirl, and hey, in an alternate universe right now, but... it's different.
[She pauses, giving herself a moment and eyeing the ice cream]
[ cass lets her talk, keeping up the little gestures of physical affection as she does so. ]
... Probably have to, sooner or later. [ she considers. ] He doesn't know me, either. [ and how she feels about that isn't immediately relevant, so, ] That... might make it easier? Less... baggage.
I'm not so sure. Less baggage, definitely, but then we also look like weirdos who know everything about him. Or... maybe we don't? He did seem pretty [what's the nicest way she can say this] different on the network.

[ that's... yeah. of course she gets it. ]
Do you want me to come over? [ maybe she wants to hug the gf and just listen. maybe. ]
no subject
[hugging gf sounds better than hugging all the pillows she's turned purple]

[ and about fifteen minutes later, sure enough ]

He's a baby.
no subject
Yeah... yeah, he is. Although maybe we shouldn't lead with that when we introduce ourselves.
no subject
Sounds like a good idea to me? Tell him he has a big sister. Introduce my girlfriend. Call him a baby. Great day for him.
