[Barbara's smile is a bit tight. She's trying not to think very hard on the last few days. The renewed grief of losing her first dad. Running and flipping and dancing.]

Everyone come through that flood okay?

[Private to Agent K]

[Her lips are curved in a wry, fond little smile.]

I've been called a lot of things, but 'sweet' usually isn't one of them.

[Private to Stephanie Brown]

It's official, I'd have liked you at any point in my life. [Yes, that is a thank you.]

[Private to Tim Drake]

I...wanted to thank you. For looking out for me.

[Both the warmth and hesitation fade as Oracle takes precedence.]

And I have a question.

I spend most of my time with a Time Lord. It's been a while since I've believed "I'm fine" as any sort of truthful statement.

I don't usually buy it from my friends, either. Probably says something about us, the company we keep.

Re: [Private]

[most_feared]

I probably let 'em get away with it too often.

But I'll ask an easier question; feelin' better being back in your usual skin?

[Private]

...For the most part. [Her gaze darts down before she can stop it, and her lips tighten.

She was okay, before. She's been okay for a long time. But she was just - she was just dancing.

It'll pass. She knows that. But waiting is a killer.]

Re: [Private] Just got back from vacation.

I think no matter what body you're in, people just have to do what they can to make it theirs. [Even if she can't walk.] I'm actually 72 years old. My last deal gives me another chance not to spend the rest of my life alone and... honestly, feels weird to be without all my wear and tear even though I knew I wanted the extra time. I always felt like I earned it.

[Private] :D welcome back!

[bodilesswarrior]

[Her eyes go wide. That's - actually not as surprising as it could be, really, with him.]

I can see how that'd be disconcerting. [A soft smile.] But I'm glad you got that chance.

[Private]

[most_feared]

It is. But no more than anything else is. [Suburban life? Now THAT is too much for him.]

But you're tough, you're smart. I got every confidence you'll pull this off.

[Private]

[bodilesswarrior]

I appreciate the vote of confidence.

This place - it's giving me more curve balls than I expected. [Her smile deepens.] But I'm nothing if not adaptable.
