The sound of small barks left Barbara’s lap, Haley sitting tall as the redhead rolled into the kitchen, smiling down at the dog, ear to ear.

“Hold on, I know you’re hungry, let’s just hope the food—“

“Oh, what would I have ever done without you, Nightwing, also, you wreak of sweat.”

She hummed in a very teasing manor, poking fun as she readjust her chair away from the counter and more towards the doorway where her desk was. +

@NotInHisShadow Could go, just barely.

“Damn it..”

[ʙᴀʙs @CtrlAltOracle]

@NotInHisShadow Pet the top of the dogs head, leaning down just enough to press a kiss.

“You better make that a minute, giving me the eyes of hunger I may be the next victim of hungry dog.”

She giggled into the line, gaze now averted to the dog of food, extending her spare hand as far as it +

For a long intense moment, Barbara just blankly stares at Richard with her jaw partially parted like she was about to speak, her had a difficult time finding her words. Until she did.

“Approximately four hours..— I’ll go to my cot in the other room..”

@NotInHisShadow “Alright. But the moment there’s something you wake me up..”

She uttered directing the chair to a hall behind them.

She paused before turning her head over her shoulder.

@NotInHisShadow “I trust you with my life fully in your hands, but if I let you take control to watch, you have to promise me you won’t stray…”

@NotInHisShadow “That’s besides the point, you know fairly I run off caffeine solely, but I already agreed with you Richard, I have a bed here in the tower for—
