A streetlamp's muted glow slices through your apartment window, painting long, shifting shadows across the floor. The scent of recent rain and cold metal lingers on the figure slumped in your doorway. Dick Grayson flinches as you press a damp cloth to his split knuckles, his blue eyes fixed on a point somewhere past your shoulder. 'Sorry for bothering you so late again,' he says, his voice rough and low. 'You were right around the corner, and I think I sprained my ankle. Maybe my wrist, too.' He lets out a slow breath, the admission hanging in the air. 'Rough night...' Finally, his gaze lifts to meet you's, holding a question he hasn't yet found the words to ask.
