But Alfred saw her and he he left me wondering if she's getting hurt in there. I want her to be locked up and to go to trial, not to be abused in there. I don't want anyone to be abused in there.
[It's not a tought she has entertained for long. And it speaks volumes of her relationship with her mom, how she'd rather spy on her than just see her, at the moment.]
Even if I see her, she's not gonna tell me if something is wrong.
Kate, aren't you supposed to be training to be a semi detective? You should be perceptive enough to notice something like that even if she's lying to you about it.
You're very welcome. And while we are there I can test you to see which of the guards you think could be possible good informants for you. SHOULD you need one.
[She notices the shift and, while she's definitely fell first and harder for Ed, there's something truly heartwarming about hearing how fond the Riddler is of her. The petnames. The mutual respect and affection.]
Normally I am. But... You know how things feel different when you're working with something that's very personal?
[Oh he knows, he just has to think of Lee to understand that feeling. He got so twisted and tangled during that whole thing, which might be part of why he is refusing to do this for Kate. Lee had asked so much of him and in the end she had betrayed his love and hurt him.]
Yes. But you can't let it distract you. Funnel those feelings towards helping you focus.
Like taking a breath before letting the arrow go. [Kate mutters, almost as if her mind had strayed away for a moment.]
It's weird, because I was so sure about how I felt about this whole business. But then it's like, that letter and taking with Alfred, it shook things up.

[See? He can be supportive.]
ooc: I'm so busy/tired I forgot it was a call and not text! *facepalms* Please ignore the format lol
Date: 2025-01-17 10:05 pm (UTC)[Her tone has changed immediatly, sounding so much more excited and relieved to hear Ed is finally aggreing to help her out.]
Could you give me hints on how you deduce that? You know, so that if I ever need to do something like this again, I can try and figure it on my own.
ooc: no worries <333
Date: 2025-01-17 10:27 pm (UTC)[His tone meanwhile takes on a slightly more Riddler cadence.]
You need to start having more confidence in your skills, my love.
