[batsymbol]

Whatever you want.

( he glances down as he says that. )

Can't say I've done much decorating myself.

( that was all alfred or the help. )

[copsormasks]

Let me guess, you had a company come in to decorate the main floor. [Eye roll of the century before Jason polishes off his beer. Didn't he just open that? He sure did.]

[batsymbol]

The holidays never felt the same after my parents died.

( he looks down as he says that, not often talking about them with... anyone, really. )

[copsormasks]

[Oh. Jason looks down as well. Taking a moment before nodding.]

Well, we can change that. Make it something we do.

[batsymbol]

( at that, he gives a faint smile, looking up to jason there. )

Not expecting me to cook, are you?

[copsormasks]

Oh hell no.

[Jason smiles ever so slightly.]

That we can ask for help.

[batsymbol]

Or see what the bots might come up with in stocking things.

( that's... probably their best bet, really. )

[copsormasks]

Yeah, we can let the robots cook. [But Jason's grinning over at Bruce.]

Trust me. I know the holidays suck. We can make it different.

[batsymbol]

How so?

( that is, if jason has a particular idea in mind. )

[copsormasks]

Don't make it silver and black like it always is. [Well, how it is back in Jason's Gotham.] We could bring some color to it.

[batsymbol]

( at that, he raises a brow, gently amused. )

How much colour?

[copsormasks]

The usual? Red? Green? Gold? How many am I allowed to pick?

[batsymbol]

Depends.

( he squints in thought for a moment at all that... colour. )

Am I allowed to have something in black?

[copsormasks]

[Jason grins over at Bruce.] Sure. Whatever you want. I mean, it's not my Christmas, it's our Christmas.

[batsymbol]

( well. fair enough. smile faint, he nods then licks over his lips. )

I'm sure we'll figure it out the closer it gets.

[copsormasks]

Well, what're you doing for Thanksgiving? [Jason is already spending Halloween with Chrissy, but the other holiday is open.]

[batsymbol]

( a glance around, he shrugs with his good shoulder. )

Nothing. I didn't do anything last year here either.

[copsormasks]

Yeah, but I wasn't here last year. [Jason shrugs.]

[batsymbol]

You want to do something for it?

( that's what he's gathering from jason asking and all. )

[copsormasks]

Hell yeah. [Well, usually Thanksgiving is about family and Jason hates the belfry, it'll just be the two of them. Which is fine with him.]

We could do what I did in Gotham. Grab some Chinese take out and watch a game in a bar.

[Nevermind that Jason is clearly a teenager.]

[batsymbol]

( a teenager who just helped himself to a beer, yeah. )

I'm sure we could find something around here.

[copsormasks]

[Where there's a will, there's a way.]

Sweet. I don't really do turkey and family.

[batsymbol]

I'm definitely not cooking turkey.

( it's for the best for the both of them. )

[copsormasks]

[100% zero arguments from Jason on keeping Bruce away from a turkey for the next forever.]

So, easy, then. You, me, some Chinese takeout, and a bar.

[batsymbol]

That easy, huh?

( maybe it is, to which he finally allows himself to take a swig of the beer he'd been given. )

Sure. Maybe not a bar though.
