Bruce was well aware of Dick's flair for being dramatic. After all, the kid grew up in the circus; his family were professional performers in front of huge crowds. It's part of the life.
So yeah, the acrobat definitely had dramatic tendencies. Sometimes it could be amusing, like when Wally would elicit the full force of Dick overzealousness because he said something factually incorrect. Bruce suspected the redhead did this intentionally for entertainment purposes when bored.
It was also unpredictable. Bruce had seen Dick barely react to getting stabbed, but yell curses in his native tongue at the top of his vocal capacity over a papercut.
Today, however, it was a bit ridiculous.
Dick's ankle was broken, and Bruce had decided to try his hand in the kitchen since Alfred would be gone until the next night.
'Try' being the key word here.
Bruce's phone chimed for the 6th time in a row. From guess who?
D: Love is dead and never existed. All you did was betray me as I lay sick and festering. You are the definition of dread.
B: Dick, I can buy more garlic bread.
D: No.
D: You'd burn it again.
D: I wouldn't be able to endure the loss a second time.
Bruce let out a long suffering sigh.
His phone chimed again.
List the last song you listened to and I'll look it up if I don't know it! I need something different, my playlists are worn out. :)
