Th' next time this Barge feels like poking around in my head, I'll be keeping to my quarters. The lot of yeh - useless dregs not fit to scrub a floor. It's bad enough I'm locked in here with you, I don't need to call any of yeh friends.

[Private to Bush]

Was dealing with me yerself so difficult that you sought to work through less offensive channels, Captain?

[Private to Arthas]

A word, my king.

[Can you feel that heavy sarcasm, Arthas?]

Oh, so you're a blowhard. All wind but no movement in the sails.

[ Yeah, that makes sense. ]

First, I am no boy. I have ruled Gotham with an iron fist, decimated my enemies, and the Bat can't keep me caged.

Second, I always think twice. We're just fine with your anger. Welcome it, even.

So what you're saying is you want to pick on old women and children. Since we're all so young -- except Iris.

[ It is so easy to twist these words around. ]

But she's got so many boys who will. We'd love to take you to the crab boil: just say the word.

It's less about her, and more about... justice, Captain.

We are very keen on justice. And when we watched the two of you, listened to you snip and snipe we flipped for it. And I win. There is no justice in letting you continue, holding everyone on edge with the will you or won't you, go after who she cares about.

Well, I'm calling you out. Fool that she is, she cares about us. An we will gladly meet you the field.

Put your money where your mouth is, Captain.

When's good for you? Funny thing about being in a prison; you have a lot of free time and I don't need to alert next of kin.

[ Harvey's in his usual spot, smoking at the deck -- watching the sky twist by. There's a little package at his feet, wrapped and obscured, under a lounge chair. ]

[ Harvey's noticed. He doesn't mind the company anymore than he minds the potential combat. He glances over, before he smiles to himself. Jim was a pipe-smoker; the memory it stirs is bittersweet. ]

So can I ask you a question? Before we proceed with senseless violence.

Why are we bothering?

[ He's had time past his initial foolish impulse to think on it, to mull it over with his better half, and now they want to know why. ]

Iris means you no real harm, and her offense is sharp, but men of our stature should be able to handle the nattering of one woman. And she does natter. God, does she.

I understand pride. I've hurt men for less. But here, it seems... meaningless, the longer we engage it. Tiring.

[ He takes a drag, smoke slipping through the gap in his cheek, though most of it makes it down into his lungs. ]

Or maybe that's just our black mood talking. The mirror told us harsh truths, and we have found little pleasure since.

[ Harvey indulges in a silence, tapping his thumb against his cigarette to get the ashes to fall. At this hour, with the skies above the barge in the strange darkness, the embers flicker visibly as they fall. ]

Well, to the days when we were feared and free, then.

[ He misses them too, sometime. ]
