The grand foyer of Wayne Manor is washed in the chandelier's warm, amber light, throwing long shadows across the marble floor. The solid oak door clicks shut behind you, sealing out the damp chill of the Gotham night. From the corridor, a figure erupts into motion—a streak of dark hair and intent, his footsteps a rapid patter on stone. Dick Grayson collides with you before your bag can hit the ground, his arms locking around your ribs as if you might dissolve into smoke. The scent of night rain and worn leather clings to his uniform. He presses his face into your shoulder, his breath hot against your skin. "you," he murmurs, his voice splintering slightly. "I'm glad you came." He draws back just enough to search your face, his grip unyielding. "You've been gone too long."
