Unless you're in the superhero business, in which case it makes perfect sense.]
Yikes. Sounds like you guys have been busy. So... gorillas? Are you talking about the Ultra Humanite, or is there more than one evil ape running around?
[Jaime's brow wrinkles, something that could easily be mistaken for contemplation about evil gorillas, but it can just as easily be taken for him listening to something else.]
Gorilla Grodd: gorilla supervillain. Daniel Garrett fought him.
[So apparently fighting evil gorillas is some sort of legacy thing. Who knew?]
Huh. So we got more than one evil gorilla, and so do you guys. I feel like I was led to believe I'd be running into a lot more evil bears and wolves - [and tigers and lions, oh my?] - and stuff like that than gorillas. Talk about false advertising.
[ See, certain things don't escape Robin's notice, and one of them is someone going quiet and squinty and then suddenly having more information than they did a second ago. That reads SUSPICIOUS in large blinking letters. ]
Huh, did I? [Wait...] And you actually caught onto that? For all you know, I just really don't like the smell of, uh... [He peers over the side of the building.]
All that non-existent trash out there. Wow. This city's really clean.
[Okay, he's just bullshitting because he usually saves the whole 'there's a computer living in my brain and it talks to me literally all the time' talk for second impressions at least.]
Also, I have an AI inside me that talks to me sometimes.
So. AI, huh? [ Hey, at least Robin's taking it well. Then again, it's getting pretty hard to surprise him these days. ] With specialized gorilla knowledge? Gorillapedia?
Though then again, he is taking it rather well, not making noises about him being a cyborg or the AI being imaginary or anything, which is always a happy occurrence. Jaime doesn't think that the Scarab is all that weird, all things considered, but other people seem to get a little wigged out by it... or they're just giving him a hard time.]
But uh, yeah, an AI. It's not specifically interested in gorillas? It just knows which ones are overtly supervillainy, for some reason.
[A computer that would very much like to commit crimes on occasion, but whatever, same difference. He's too pleased that Robin's taking this in stride to correct him.]
Sorry, man, it's one of a kind. You'll just have to do your detective work the old-fashioned way.
[If Jaime's smile is a little guarded, it's only because most of what the AI does is highly unpleasant.]
If we talked about what it does, we'd be here all day. Basically anything you see me do is thanks to it. And... well, it might know something about you, but if it does, I'm not planning on asking.

What was that all about?
action
[If he sounds innocent... that's because he is. C'mon, Robin, you can't expect him to know what his face is doing at all times.]
action
[ Robin squints, cocking his head a little. ]

[Smooth.]

[ SO SMUG. ]
So. AI, huh? [ Hey, at least Robin's taking it well. Then again, it's getting pretty hard to surprise him these days. ] With specialized gorilla knowledge? Gorillapedia?

[YOU'RE NOT SO TOUGH, ROBIN...!

So it's like having a crime computer in your head? Dude, where can I sign up?
action
[A computer that would very much like to commit crimes on occasion, but whatever, same difference. He's too pleased that Robin's taking this in stride to correct him.]
Sorry, man, it's one of a kind. You'll just have to do your detective work the old-fashioned way.
action
[ But: AI! That's so cool. ]
So what's it do? Does it know anything about me?
action
If we talked about what it does, we'd be here all day. Basically anything you see me do is thanks to it. And... well, it might know something about you, but if it does, I'm not planning on asking.
[He shrugs.] It's kind of a privacy thing.
action
[ A grateful smile. ]
That's pretty cool of you.
action
[There's a jovial touch in his voice and smile alike.]
But hey, if you want me to tell you your blood type, just say the word.
