it wouldn't be so bad if DC actually indicated seasons/a timeline OTL

[earlybird]

Hm. Not any different. Then again, ten didn't feel too different from nine, either. It doesn't get fun until thirteen.

What if I say I'm eleven now, so I can be twelve in December?

[ Just shave a few months off, that's fine, right? ]

A present?

[ For him? ]

If--

If you wanted.

[ He's never gotten a birthday present from someone who wasn't an immediate family member. His grandfather, mother, father, Grayson, Pennyworth. That's it. The thought didn't occur to him that someone else might want to gift something to him. ]

But that would require continuity...

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid laughs to himself.]

I don't think that's how it works, but then again, I'm not from your world. I think you would have to ask Dick if it's okay for you to have two birthdays like that in one year...

And I want. Now, I need to know what you would want...

i hear continuity is poisonous to dc

[ He doesn't have a clue. Damian's used to the finer things in life, but he's not particularly materialistic. He likes his hoodies, his music, his phone, his weapons--

Hmm. ]

I've been borrowing swords while I've been here.

They aren't really that good of a make. But they've worked well enough.

I'd like to have one of my own, though. Something like the wakizashi I had, for Mordred's fight.

[ It'd been damaged beyond repair when pitted up against her broadsword, and he hasn't been able to find a replacement since. ]

I have heard this too. IT MUST BE TRUE! X.x

[oathshackledbird]

Well, as long as Dick isn't going to have my head for getting you a weapon, I don't see why I can't get that for you if that is what you really want. It might take a little while, though.

[Namely, because he is going to make sure the replacement weapon is strong, going to last, nice looking, and maybe even able to stand up better to a Servant's weapons, not to mention sized for a growing boy...]

Do you still have your old one? If so, I would like to look at it for measurements and such...

[earlybird]

We fight with weapons all the time.

[ Nonlethal ones. Not that Damian isn't still somehow a magnet for steel with a blatant disregard for human life, who genuinely enjoys a little slicing and dicing and maybe setting enemies on fire. ]

He won't mind.

[ Just try and take his birthday present away from him, Grayson. ]

I do. I can run it over to you a little later today?

[ Now. He means now. Diarmuid's going to have an excited vigilante buzzing around him. An eleven-year-old vigilante. ]

[oathshackledbird]

Of course. The sooner I see it, the sooner I can get to work on finding the replacement. I will be at the school working on things for the rest of the day. I will see you soon.

[Very soon, Diarmuid expects, unless his ability to predict excited children has gotten rusty...]
