Promise me no dead end streets and I'll guarantee we'll have the road [W7, Thursday Night]

[The hotel explodes just like he knew it would. He's out of the way as promised, but that's a pretty loud and obnoxious boom. He peers out of the saloon where he'd been hiding out, watches Hal walk past and stares at the debris around town. Whole Ass really is crashing to the ground, isn't it?

Oh well. No one's sleeping tonight, but as he stares out into the quiet nearly empty town, he spots a light.

...no, not a light. It's the bonfire. He blinks curiously, wondering why the fire's on now and without thinking he leaves the saloon to approach the flames.

It's only when he spots a familiar figure that he gets it and he feels his mouth go dry. He stands off to the side to watch for a moment before he speaks up.]

...what are you doing out here so late?

[There's a soft sort of noise of agreement.]

It's not, you're right. And I shouldn't be excusing it, but in a place where all of the rules are flipped, do you really think the rules of murder here are the same as they are in our worlds? This game was designed to mess with us no matter what.

[Damian just frowns at Percy for lack of anything better to say or do. The Sheriff said the same thing initially, and yet, Damian refused to acknowledge such talk. It's the Wayne in him.] I won't accept it. I won't accept that.

What I did goes against... what Robin would do, and what Batman would do. I failed to uphold Father's teachings.

But... I won't run away. I'm returning home to tell him.

[Excuse you, don't compare him to the Sheriff even in meta, Damian??? That's really rude. Percy doesn't quite know what to say because he has a lot of the same feelings, but he won't exactly explain it.]

...if it goes against what Robin would do, why'd you do it? Explain that part to me. It's brave you're going to face it head on, but I want to understand what you're thinking if you'll let me.
