He froze for a minute looking at her hand on his wrist, not speaking for a good while but finally breaks the silence “…this sounds like a plea.. I thought you don’t do plea’s?”
He whispered softly pulling his hand away for the moment glancing at his helmet in her arms as well
[ + ] “ Just.. for a * minute *, put the vendetta aside. ” a plea to stay, as much as she hates to even think of admitting it. That's what her words were, and he was the only person she would even consider doing so for unless it was some plea deal made last minute for her life.

“For someone with a reputation that you gained throughout the years, you sound like you still care about me. Batmans failure. Thats all I am and all I will be. Is his failure, but Jokers creation.”
He glances away saying most of that but looks right back at her near the end
