She doesn't speak much on their way there. Glancing beside her to check that Steph was still there, that Steph was still alive beside her, Cass pressed her lips into a thin line before leaning back. Tugging Steph out into the corridor, she led Steph down towards her apartment before fumbling with her keys to open the door. Kicking her shoes off, she announced her arrival home by the loud deliberate scuffling and thwack of shoes meeting the back of the sofa. She turned her head to check for Kaine.

Hn. He was either not home or in the bedroom or bathroom. Turning her head she listed for the sound of him before glancing towards the bathroom. He better not have been drinking.

"I'm home," Cass called out before tugging Steph into the apartment. Closing the door behind Steph, she looked at her friend carefully before nodding. Steph needed clothes which meant leaving her.

"I'll go get clothes. If Kaine comes... just-" Cass made a gesture of her hand that might either be hit him or shake his hand. To be fair with Kaine either was accurate. "I'm in there."

Cass wandered towards their bedroom, discarding socks and abandoning them behind her.

"That would be more of a Girl-Bat thing, the whole transforming into a wild bat beast. But I think Man-Bat still has the market on that whole thing." She says it casually, like it's not completely ridiculous for there to be a Man-Bat that is wholly different from a Batman.

Yeah, training to be a detective and missed the crucial fact that Batman just happened to also be Matches Malone. The thought makes her wince but she tries not to let it show. "Oh, is your romance all, half-love, half-fight?"

Steph gets it, kinda. Her first meeting Tim did involve bricking him in the face.

"Half-love, half-fight, all insults from her," I say, glaring at Cass. I know it's not really insults though and she knows that I know. Still, I hold out hope that one of these days she'll realize you don't have to say everything you think or say it so bluntly. But that day isn't today and it's probably not tomorrow.

"But no one else will put up with me so I deal with it."

"Lots of people would put up with you or at least think they would, they probably would not if they realised your shower routine." Cass replied, a teasing smiling on her lips as he glares at her. Her hands on his body were soft, showing that she was poking- teasing and not serious at all about that- about the shower thing at least. Cass knew there were people who would take Kaine, who looked at him like he was a tall glass of water in the desert. She wouldn't let anyone take him from her though. She loved him after all. "And I complimented your form the other day."

The fact that she had complimented him while she had him pinned down in bed riding him was probably not the point. And not one she mentioned, see she was learning... a little.

"I mean...good. That's good." She sort of doesn't know what to say in response to their weird couple teasing, so unused to this Cass with a boyfriend thing. Also the touching, because that is just continuing to happen.

Suddenly, Steph just feels so, so tired.
