he’s protective of his space: jonathan crane not only needs his own time, but he needs a room, a safe space for him to be when everything seems to be falling apart.
and things fell apart almost monthly in gotham: between his fellow rogues being caught, himself being caught, problems with deals and plans and backstabbing, and x backstabbed x so you can not associate with x anymore. seems like highschool FUCKING drama, and it tires him.
he has his fair share of alliances: you can’t go anywhere without alliances in that world, and alliances don’t always mean friendships. jonathan does not give a fuck about the intrigues and drama inside the gotham underworld. he’ll associate with whoever he wants as long as it gives him something.
and this doesn’t always sit well for jon: people feel betrayed, and people put a target on his back. just a normal week, truly: so he decides to have some off time. he cleans all his hideouts, hides all his goons and goes back to the little apartment he has -- JONATHAN, has, not the scarecrow.
❝ — you are aware my house is not a hotel ?? or some type of public property ?? ❞ and he doesn’t appreciate his quiet time being interrupted: he doesn’t even need to raise his gaze to know it's him: he recognizes the steps. giving him a spare key wasn’t the best idea he had ( did he give him a spare key ?? it’s the only logical explanation... most have forgotten about it ) ❝ you - you don’t even like my apartment. what do you want ?? ❞ it’s not polite to show up uninvited.

jonathan’s routine is mostly the same: working all night, getting out in the middle of the day to eat something, and then spend an hour feeding all the crows that get together in his balcony. it’s a habit by now, and something that always brings him peace on a stressful day.
and while the house wasn’t is, he carried the habit. in his morning cigarette, he has found a bird nest near his lover’s porch, and he happily started to feed them every morning. in the mix of love and despise they lived in, feeding them has become a safe space for him.
❝ —the birds are easy to understand. ❞ it was black or white, it was their instinct, they were far less complex than humans. he speaks loud enough for the man inside the house to hear him. ❝ they’re easy to deal with. ❞ unlike some people.

"Admittedly, it was that or Quebec, but your pronunciation indicated something quite more precise." It's a terrible joke, and despite his own humor with it, he frowns. Social faux pas worry. It hardly leaves his mouth before he clears his throat, "Perhaps that was inappropriate, I, ah, couldn't help myself."
His eyes continue to cover the room, finding new, small details that spark some idea of curiosity, and distraction from himself. Pleasure, too, in part. As well as a bitten tongue to keep from rambling — Isaiah 21:6: "For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth," from which the title Go Set a Watchman, the draft and prequel of To Kill A Mockingbird reigns from.
"Montparnasse? Ah, I haven't been there in.. years," he chuckles quietly. "I can't forget it's beauty."
He hums softly in thought. There were quite a many choice he could answer, but decides on his more modern preference with a small wave. "Osaka, mais j'ai eu ma juste part de scolarité au fil des ans. I, lived in the Rive Gauche region for a time." Far too long ago to be precise. Then again, old, unchanging cities were ones to talk about history. "The Collège de Sorbonne always housed such wonderful books."

— “An item.” He smiles, polite yet detached, as his fingers drum lightly across the oaken surface of the desk. “Something to be observed with mild interest, but to never be held to the esteem devoted worshippers hold it. It is, after all, merely a concept.”
He pauses, one tick, two ticks, then sighs.
“But this is from the mouth of a man who walked away from religion. I do hope you aren’t a believer, or else I offer my apologies.”
Cerulean irises narrow discreetly as seems to wait for his conclusion with mild expectation; It’s not surprise what is perceivable on her features, but rather a genuine interest on the answer her interlocutor was about to deliver. Vastly more nicely than she could possibly put into, those words of him cause curls to leisurely form upwards on the lips of this information broker. But there was no time for suspense for she immediately rose her voice. ❛❛ Do I look like I’d kneel down to Geesus or anyone beggin' forgiveness fer bein’ the bad girl I am --------- ? Nah. ❜❜ Contrasting ( almost violently in fact ) to that doll-like face, her words carry this fun, but somewhat truculent nonchalance; ❛❛ But that’s a gooood way ta go, handsome; God’s made as much difference on peep’s lives as a hook to a fish; Bein’ good outta fear o’ punishment ain’t no virtue, right? ❜❜

An overcast sky spread over the city of Gotham, threatening freezing rain. Though residents held onto their umbrellas, prepared to open them as the first drop of rain fell from the sky, they would have no need for it.
For it would not rain until the next morn.
The crows knew this, could sense this, so they remained perched among the rooftops. Unafraid of nature’s occasional fickleness. Some were simply resting, others were looking for their next meal- a wandering insect or a stray piece of food, perhaps.
Yet one crow in particular found itself hunting for treasure, as it looked at the people passing by from the top of a flickering streetlamp. Several things caught this creatures eye, yet none were just right. So it kept up the search, starting from the early hours of the morn, up to this very moment, when finally it spotted something sparkle in the distance.
It was on a person of pale complexion, with blonde hair so fair that, given the right lighting, it could be mistaken for white.
Swiftly yet silently it flew towards him, beak wide open for the snagging.
“It’s all desire.”

well, now he’s catching jonathan’s attention. arched brows behind cold eyes that quickly stare at the blond man, admiring his features while he talks. it’s childish, he realizes, but he cringes at every single syllables of the concept.
