@pinkbolts said: i told them i don't need a bodyguard..

❛ i think you misunderstand my intentions. . . quite possibly theirs. a mortal dare not speak for the god of thunder. ❜ his voice booms deep and a glimpse of the untamed tempest that swells beneath his skin. a primal thunderstorm lives within his veins that he'd bear before koriand'r if she so desired, not to intimadate, but to show that if needed it. that she would always have his aid. ❛ i don't need a demonstration of your abilities to know you don't need a bodyguard, or even you're wit with words. you are one of the most capabale i have met far stronger then any mortal. you would have done well on asgard. ❜ he speaks with a forsaken fondness of his home, of what once was, and what could have been. the death of thousands of aesir wouldn't hang heavily upon his shoulders to carry the weight of his doomed race. or if he had been more stronger , wiser , and less reckless.  ❛ i just thought that you might like the company. ❜

you can talk to me, you know...

" i'm aware..."

starlight's offer had been left disobliged as silence passed from one moment to the next ----- it figures that a sufficient enough response, still considering the path that remained untraversed before them.

Mission first, talk later.

" but we should keep going."

he can see the displeasure manifest on her face. the war of the compliment versus some invisible naysayer tripping her every thought. her question surprises him. kori is a great very many things, and dick had always seen bravery interwoven in her very being. in the way she fights, in the way she loves her friends, in the way she will always, always defend those who most need it, and he'd always assumed she had some super-ability to never doubt her undeniable skill. that that confidence was just a side effect to being so strong-willed and having fought so hard to be. it feels like a great slight to his detective skills that he might've missed the most human of emotions. the failing of a friend who should have known better. dick thinks about his answer for a moment, eyes tracing the lines of her face like he might find some thoughtful insight there. to him, to the titans, to all the people she's saved, she will always be brave. but he knows, intimately the stress of their lifestyle. that if they don't seem brave, if they play in to all their fears, that they will somehow lose it. dick's answer is steady, then: " you just have to be who you are. " who dick sees slicing the sky with her firebolts and holding buildings up until the very last civilian is safe. the acrobat places a reassuring hand on her shoulder. he may second guess a lot of things: his own leadership skills, his commands, his most crushing fails and most ardent successes, but he has never once questioned her BRAVERY. " you look like a hero. " he answers, hoping some of his own faith in her might transfer. but his brow furrows a little in thought. running through their missions like a rolodex, trying to figure out where this is coming from and how he can help. his voice is laced with concern and understanding when he asks " why don't you feel brave? "
