M. / can you stop and listen to me for a second ?
the smell of coffee wafts through courtyard ; the second youngest wayne heir is up early - in fact he hasn't slept. there was something to be said for princeton , nj. the idea that gotham was hours away , that he himself didn't draw attention on campus. this was about academics , about being the best , and for the first time he wasn't examined.
for the first time he wasn't some exotic butterfly that was pinned to a canvas while wings were pinned and examined closely. there was no news , no comments about the lack of leadership he demonstrated.
there's been news from gotham , lucius had been so kind to keep in touch with bruce since his summer internship knowing that inevitability that power would one day be in the hands of a young man who seemed lost , swallowed up by grief as there were constant reminders of what exactly had been lost ; littered upon every street corner in gotham.
carrying a paper by teeth , and balancing a coffee that begs for creamer he stands for a few moments before spying a table and making his way to it. though there is the interruption of thoughts , someone yanking upon rolled up button up shirt as he then places coffee down on table , and removes paper from teeth.
' yeah , no i can get you tickets if you want them ... ' assuming that that's indeed what she wanted , it's early - he's tired , and just played a show the previous night. forgive him. there's the swell of pride , confidence perhaps that he did in fact , start something new. that here he wasn't JUST : bruce wayne billionaire orphan - here he was so much more. ' i mean ? if you really wanna go - ' a smile shot in her direction , eyes betray - exhaustion rims. ' then yeah i can help ' /@vanderwoods3ns
