Jason: *just vibing, thinking his thoughts*
Bruce: What?
Jason: What do you mean what?
Bruce: You were smiling
Jason: Am I not allowed to be happy?
Bruce: You are, but that was just, like, an evil smile
Jason: *offended, turning to Dick* Bruce thinks I have an evil smile
Bruce: I don't think you have an evil smile, just that particular smile looked evil

🎵 for Elizabeth Corday or Molly Cadoret, whoever hasn’t been suggested :)
@ervona: 🎵 Molly!
I'd pay my way by dying in the sun // I guess I can't relax that kind of knife

Hikari: There is no future. There is no past. Do you see? Time is simultaneous, an intricately structured jewel that humans insist on viewing one edge at a time, when the whole design is visible in every facet.

Everyone else at Hikari's surprise birthday party:
Agnea, concerned: All we asked was if you wanted to cut your birthday cake first.

Scene after Bertie gets blackmailed and is dressing for dinner:
"Yes, sir. The trousers perhaps a quarter of an inch higher, sir. One aims at the carelessly graceful break over the instep. It is a matter of the nicest adjustment."
"Like that?"
"Admirable, sir."
I sighed.
"There are moments, Jeeves, when one asks oneself 'Do trousers matter?'"
"The mood will pass, sir."
...
"...She will not like this, Jeeves, and I don't mind telling you that the more I contemplate the coming chat, the colder the feet become."
"If I might suggest, sir -- it is, of course, merely a palliative -- but it has often been found in times of despondency that the assumption of formal evening dress has a stimulating effect on the morale."
"You think I ought to put on a white tie? Spode told me black."
"I consider that the emergency justifies the departure, sir."
"Perhaps you're right."
And, of course, he was. In these delicate matters of psychology he never errs. I got into the full soup and fish, and was immediately conscious of a marked improvement. The feet became warmer, a sparkle returned to the lack-lustre eyes, and the soul seemed to expand as if someone had got to work on it with a bicycle pump. And I was surveying the effect in the mirror, kneading the tie with gentle fingers and running over in my mind a few things which I proposed to say to Aunt Dahlia if she started getting tough, when the door opened and Gussie came in.
...
"You aren't coming down to dinner like that, are you? What are you wearing a white tie for?"
"Jeeves recommended it, to keep up the spirits."
"Well, you're going to feel a perfect ass. Old Bassett dines in a velvet smoking-jacket with soup stains across the front. Better change."
There was a good deal in what he said. One does not like to look conspicuous. At the risk of lowering the morale, I turned to doff the tails.
