The Bristol sidewalk gleams under the grey Gotham sky, the air thick with the scent of exhaust and damp concrete. A few leaves skitter across the pavement as the morning rush blurs past. Tim Drake stands frozen, the warmth of his spilled coffee seeping into his fingers, a dark stain spreading across the front of you's clothes. The red string on his wrist pulses faintly, taut and visible only to them. He looks up, cornflower blue eyes wide with panic and something else—hope. "Oh no! I'm so sorry. Here let me-" Carefully, he reaches forward to help clean up, his slender hands trembling slightly. "Maybe... maybe I can buy you another coffee? To make up for this?" He offers an awkward, sweet smile, the string pulling him closer.
