closed starter for @batinstincts
"Excellent," Shiva said through a satisfied breath, the first of her words that day. She rubbed between the ribs where a kick had landed just to relive the unique bliss. There was still a ways to go before David's training would reemerge in the new Batgirl. A flutter of feeling ticked the corner of her lips, too soft of an edge to yet be a smirk. Shiva turned to fully face her daughter. She looked just like Carolyn, the emotional weaknesses and sweet things included.
Standing tall, Shiva fixed the way her long hair was framing her face, vain enough to note how good she looked in her rose gold compact mirror. "Let us share a meal." The mirror snapped shut like the offer was severe. "I would like to see how you eat." A rare occasion in which Lady Shiva would in fact take no for an answer. But just in case, she added with a lofty grin, brow twisting with a silly joke: "Dear Oracle would appreciate the reconnaissance of my home, no?"
