[Around six o'clock, Artemis is waiting for him. She's not exactly sure how this is going to happen--is Robin going to stroll up and knock on the front door like a regular person? Or is he going to pull some ninja move and just appear in a shadowy corner?
To hedge her bets, she leaves her bedroom door open so she can hear the doorbell, but also leaves her bedroom window open. You never know.]
[ The open window was a good choice. It doesn't matter how vigilant she's being: the second she looks away, even for a second, there's suddenly a teenage boy in shades perched on her windowsill like a tiny gargoyle. ]
[A pretty good tactic, since what teenager doesn't want to complain about their summer job?]
Archery demonstrator for a sports store. [She snorts] It's so boring. The targets don't even move and I have to use the store's gear. And then I have to sell stuff to people who have no idea what they're doing. I never though I'd say it, but I kind of miss training.

I don't hate you as much as I hate almost drowning.
... You'll really appreciate that in a few months, back home.

Please, that was nothing. If I wanted to, I could blow your mind.

Oh, just try me, bird boy. XD

Alright, as long as you don't mind creating a time paradox, what do you want to know?

Maybe after your boat tour.
The rebreather's all yours, by the way.

Works for me. And thanks--I knew you wouldn't let me drown.
Where's a good place to meet?
Text
Text
Okay, sure.

See you at six, then.

Nice place.
Action
Jesus! There's no way you could have used the front door like a normal person, is there?
[That question is entirely rhetorical and Artemis knows it. She gets up to close her bedroom door.]
You know, I never even told you where I live.

[ He really does look entirely too proud of himself. ]

[She pauses, wait--do they all know? I mean, obviously the team and her entire world know about the Dynamic Duo, but what about this place?]
So, what does Robin do here? I mean, you said you have a job.
[She sits cross-legged on her bed, leaving the desk chair for him, if he wants it. Or he can keep perching in the windowsill, that's cool too.]
Action
It's real boring stuff, but it doesn't hurt to have some extra pocket money. [ eeevasive ] Didn't they give you one?

[Plus Artemis kind of misses being a team and doing team things.]

Did you bring your mask?

So, what are we waiting for?
