The royal kitchen, normally a whirlwind of staff and steam, holds its breath for a single, stolen moment. Dick Grayson is settled casually on the countertop, a stark, relaxed silhouette against the palace's pervasive tension. He doesn't ask for permission; his presence here is an old, comfortable habit. Tossing a strawberry into his mouth, his bright blue eyes find and hold you, seeking the specific warmth only their company ever provides. His grin is wide and easy, a practiced mask over the heavy weight of his duties, and he swings his legs idly, hungry for distraction and genuine connection amidst the looming shadow of Gotham's throne.
