[notasidedick]

It's nice to be back. This is a rather late introduction back considering I'm already settled in back in my room and my classroom has long been set-up to my tastes.

But I suppose an introduction should be in order.

Afternoon, this is Dick Grayson. I'll be one of the known instructors for (MOV 101) Military Movement along with (WTR 402) Advanced Weapons Training: Blunt Weapons. You may call me how you like. I prefer to go by Dick really. It's not the most professional sounding, but I'm pretty informal. Do please refrain from any dick jokes behind my back. I do love a good joke, and having them told behind my back just wouldn't do.

I'd like to give a general announcement that I am always available if you need any help whatsoever, so don't feel shy or intimidated. Perhaps the biggest trouble is locating me at times.

That being said I have one more thing to say which is aimed at two people in particular.

Timothy Drake. Damian Wayne. I'd like to see you two as soon as possible. Preferably not at the same time if possible. Thank you.

By the way, there is no opt out option. If you don't come to me, I will come to you.

-Dick Grayson

[For the rest of the day, Dick will spend most of his time reacquainting himself with the Garden. He'll probably be mostly in the cafeteria though since that tends to be a usually populated area. And it means he can probably chat with students and other instructors. He seems to be fond of the uniforms since he'll be wearing his most of the time.

He's also contemplating things about back home. It's been a year after all. Things were so calm before he left. That, and Bruce had just returned to them. They even got together as a family, or who was available in the family. It makes him a little disheartened to know that something like that won't be occurring here anytime soon. He's still pleased to see a lot of new faces around at the Garden though. He always enjoys new faces and meeting new people, so he's excited.

Other then that, you'll catch Dick wandering around a lot. He'll be in his room a few times or the classroom. But it's easiest to find him in the cafeteria or the second floor.]

...Know what?

[notasidedick]

About Bruce.

[worthyheir]

What about my father?

[notasidedick]

[Longestttttt pause ever man.] That...he's alive?

[worthyheir]

...Drake was right all along?

[notasidedick]

Yes. He was back home before I ended up here.

[worthyheir]

[Is quiet for a while, mulling it all over.] Grayson, I've been meaning to ask you...

Did my father perform a paternity test?

WHOOPS HAD TO CHECK TO MAKE SURE. LOLIamforgetful OTl

[notasidedick]

I believe he did. But he never really spoke about the results. [Sure Tim asked about it before too. Seems like a Tim thing to do.]

Why do you ask?

Re: WHOOPS HAD TO CHECK TO MAKE SURE. LOLIamforgetful OTl

[worthyheir]

The zombie Batman you unleashed mentioned it. I wondered if that was true, if--[Trails off.]

Never mind. It was deranged.

[notasidedick]

You're his son. He'd say something otherwise Damian. [Frowns a little.] Even if you weren't, blood doesn't change the fact he considers you his son either.

[worthyheir]

It said the paternity tests proved I was his son. It...it said that I was his biggest mistake. That I would taint the bloodline for all time.

[notasidedick]

And you believe it? That's not true though. You're better then whatever it said. Trust me.

[1/2]

[worthyheir]

Of course not! It was a deranged zombie who readily admitted its brain was broken.

[worthyheir]

It's just, it knew about the paternity test, so what other memories of father's did it have?

[notasidedick]

I can't answer that and it's already been dealt with. [He sighs.] Do you really want to know what it knew?

[worthyheir]

I want to know how accurate it was.

[notasidedick]

You'll have to wonder about that since I doubt you'll get an answer otherwise.

[worthyheir]

[Just sort of glares at Dick before attempting to slide off the bed.] I shouldn't have mentioned it.

[notasidedick]

I'm glad you did. I didn't know it was on your mind. [And now he does.]

[worthyheir]

Why do you always need to know what's on my mind?

[notasidedick]

[Because he's an overbearing, older brother.] I don't think I have a legitimate reason other then I want to know.

[worthyheir]

Then what's on your mind? Right now. I told you so it's only fair you tell me.

[notasidedick]

That I've really missed you. [It's not far from the truth. He does.] And wondering how to properly articulate a way to ask if you want to have lunch with me without sounding a bit like a dolt.

[worthyheir]

I suppose I could eat. But if you're buying then we're going into town and getting a proper meal.

[notasidedick]

I'll pay. I haven't eaten in town here for awhile. It'll be a nice. [Holds his hand out. HOLD HANDS WITH DICK. :C]
