jeanne's tenure as the bat left her with many an issue she had to resolve. sins that could not be wiped from her slate without retribution. this included her treatment of tim drake.
what he'd been made to endure at her hands; it wasn't right, no matter how deep in the psychosis spiral she'd been at the time. there was no simple apology for what she'd done, and they both knew that. she'd tried sorry, she'd tried hanging her head like a shameful dog. none of it felt right, none of it felt like quite enough. for god's sake, he'd only been a kid.
❝ uh ... tim ... ❞ she keeps her voice low. is he asleep? she's pretty sure he'd fallen asleep, head upon her shoulder. the thought twinges her heartstrings. she'd rejected him once, wrapped clawed hands around his weary throat and outcast him from the house of his mentor.
jeannie had come back to gotham a better woman, but it was hard to know who'd accept that. apparently, tim. enough so that he was comfortable around her like the old days, back when he'd pick the locks on her apartment window for shits and giggles.
he was ... snoring. kinda quiet, but she can make it out. decidedly, woman doesn't move from this position - as one does when a cat has decided to make their lap a home. she'll stay still as long as he snoozes. even if azrael pesters in the back of her mind.
