bruce wayne @ᴡᴀʏɴᴇ @ʙʀᴜᴄᴇ audio & text

PLEASE NOTE: Bruce has two inboxes.

His official user id for the network is Bruce and if you meet in person, in the unlikely event he gave you his contact details, this is the ID he would give you.

That said, his conversations on the network have largely been under the id of Wayne, as a way to keep his two identities separated.
This is the username he uses most often and he will answer replies to that handle- there just seems to be no physical person on the registry to link it to.

[ He's too smart. Sometimes, Vanitas can't help comparing him to his Master, who had been the smartest person Vanitas knew— even if his sample size wasn't very large. ]

...

You're some kind of detective, aren't you?

[pearlstrings]

Vanitas, I'm just asking you what happened.

[evulsed]

You're ferreting out my weaknesses.

I can't go down there.

[pearlstrings]

Can't?

[evulsed]

I came back less than whole.

I wasn't afraid before but now just looking at it makes me



Its stupid.

[pearlstrings]

Would you like me to tell you about what I saw there?

[ Despite the fact Bruce has never done it, Vanitas still expects him to push. To lean on the weakness the way Vanitas does, the way he learned.

There's a long pause between messages, shock and relief and something like gratitude, though he doesn't recognize it as such, rendering him silent. ]


Okay.

[Maybe they're just well-suited to each other. Bruce doesn't have to reach for kindness or patience, they come to him naturally- and Vanitas requires both in abundance. As if there's a hole that needs to be filled before anything of worth can be built on top. But he is changing. They both are.]

I'm downstairs. I'll make a hot chocolate.
