Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Colin's about to say hello to Alfred when he gets back in the car. He looks at Damian questioningly, following him into the back seat.

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
"I don't talk to him much," Damian says, trying to figure out Colin's confusion. "I don't really talk to anyone much." He frowns, slightly embarrassed that he has to explain this.
Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
"You talk to me," Colin points out. Then he looks around the luxurious car. "Wow. What do all these buttons do?" He pokes at them curiously, not quite pressing any of them.

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Damian smirks, then points at the buttons. "Drinks, air conditioning, call button, windows, driver window, emergency call, speed-dial to the manor."
Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
"Wow," Colin breathes. "What do you need all that stuff for in a car? Drinks?" He prods at the button, and laughs when a minibar door pops open.

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Damian sits back on the seat and enjoys watching Colin amuse himself. "Sometimes it's necessary to have these things. This is one of my - father's cars."
Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
"Why d'you do that?" Colin asks, as he closes the fridge door and mucks about with the windows. "Hesitate when you say 'father', I mean. Were you adopted?"

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Damian frowns, thinking about how to explain it. And why he wants to explain it. "I was partially adopted. My mother gave me up to my father, who is more a DNA donor than anything else. He is the closest thing I have to a father."
Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Colin gives up on the windows and looks back at Damian. He can read between the lines on that. He's made a pretty close study of parents and children, naturally. "You don't get along?"

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Damian shrugs. "I make him uncomfortable. My parents are complicated people. Their relationship is complicated. I am the product of that complication."
Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Colin leans against Damian. "They shouldn't treat you like that. You're a kid, not something bought from a shop while they were a couple."

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Damian shrugs again; it's an automatic reaction. Why would he want to dwell on these things? Why is he even talking? "I think I'm both, actually."
(I just thought about Alfred listening in on this conversation and getting all kinds of emotional because Damian feels like this and there's very little he can do but be disapproving through the bonds he and Bruce share.)

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Colin frowns. "Still. They should treat you right. F-family is important."
(Oh my gosh that is the most heartbreaking thing. You can just bet Alfred would be so good to Damian after this. It doesn't excuse all his rude behaviour, but it sure explains a lot of it.)

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
"Tt. Every orphan I know says the same thing. I have family and it's not that wonderful. Maybe the /right/ family is important."
(Yup. That basically is how everyone feels about ol' Dami, once they find out what's going on in that surly brain of his.)

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
"...yeah. Yeah, maybe you're right." Colin looks out the window wistfully. "I'm too old to be adopted now. Next family I have... who knows. I might go into the church. Then God will be my family."
(Except Colin, who likes him right from the start. Believes the best of him, even when Damian's snappy and rude.)

"I'm bringing you to a new family," Damian says, surprised. He thought that was clear.

Colin looks back to Damian, raising his eyebrows. "It's like a family?"

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Damian nods, looking at Colin oddly. That should be clear. "It's a pride. And they're already very interested in accepting you."
(All of them. Though, hm. If Colin's a panwere then that'll end up ruining his chances with packs, prides and pards. Sadface. All the nearly families. All the rejection.)

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
"A pride." Colin sits back against the car seat, beaming. "Like in the Lion King? And they're interested in me? So I'm valuable? You said that before, you said valuable. Because I'm young?"
(mm yes all the perfect angst; he can be one of Dick's new projects and he can have the Wayne family as his family, they're all misfits anyway)

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Damian cocks his head slightly, a little confused. "I don't think you'll be king, if that's what you're asking. It's a long process to become Rex as I understand it. But, yes, you're valuable because you're young. Hm. Young and male."

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Colin tips his head, naively. "Why does that make me valuable?"

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
"Because they would need people to make more werelion babies, eventually," Damian says, in a very simple voice. He doesn't exactly mean to be condescending. He just is.

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Colin does a double-take. "But I'm a kid! I--I don't want to have babies yet!" he yelps.

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Damian laughs once, loudly. "They won't want you to /now/," he shakes his head. "Later. You're seen as an investment."
(That is the weirdest looking word.)

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Colin still looks wary, as if they're going to press-gang him into an orgy at the sight of him. But he decides to trust Damian. Damian was his friend; if Colin didn't want to make babies, Damian would help him get away.

Damian looks at Colin, studying him. "Everything all right?"

"I just don't know what to expect," Colin admits.
(Agreed. Colincling is much better. Makes Damian more happy than ylangylang, snicker.)

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
"Neither do I," Damian tells him. "I've only talked to the Regina and Rex on the phone. I've never spoken to them in person. But it'll be fine. Trust me."
(No kidding. Damian's all kinds of relaxed. It's like, hm. He's still trying to prove himself to Colin, show him that he's worthy of the amazing label, but there's not as much pressure.)

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
"I do," Colin says immediately, and he's almost surprised to realise that he really does.
(That is adorable. It's like he already knows that he doesn't have to impress Colin to get him to stick around.)

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Damian's mouth twitches into a kind of smile. "Thank you." Trust is hard to come by in Damian's world.
(He does. But he still feels compelled to prove himself.)

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Colin beams, pleased to have made Damian smile. He's getting the idea that it's difficult. "So where are we going, exactly? Where is the pride?"
(They'll both try hard for each other, aw.)

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
"They have a safehouse and meeting area just a few blocks from the west quarter of the Diamond District. They're very well-connected," Damian explains. "Fighting with the tigers for the title of Most Regal Weres. Cute."

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Colin tugs at his clothes nervously. "The Diamond District? I've never been there. And I never knew we had so many weres in Gotham."

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
"Like I said, it's very were-friendly. And my, tt, brother is very involved with the different groups, as well. He encourages it. I think it's a good thing, though it does make life tense for shifters who aren't used to it," Damian talks like he's reciting from a book. He's studied all of this, and makes sure he knows all of his family's business - not to mention he had to find out for Colin.

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
"So, like me," Colin says quietly. He sighs and looks out the car window again, eyes growing big as the shops and restaurants become more expensive and the houses more beautiful. "I just hope they like me."

"Why wouldn't they like you?" Damian is honestly interested. He doesn't see how, but Colin would know himself better.

Colin shrugs. "I dunno. But I haven't been adopted, so there must be something adults don't like about me," he says matter-of-factly. "It happens with some kids."

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Damian scowls. "Did someone tell you that? There's nothing wrong with you. There's something wrong with the people who would call themselves parents," he spits the last word.

Colin jumps at Damian's vehemence, staring at him. "See? You think family is important, too," he says softly.

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Damian crosses his arms and looks out the window. "I think that adults realising how they make children feel when they're being ridiculous is important."

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
Damian looks at Colin. "I cannot pretend to understand that," he says simply. "My mother has means to keep herself alive for all of eternity and my father is a vampire." Damian holds himself ready for the disgust and mistrust that will surely follow that confession. Colin sounds like Grayson, has been through the same as Grayson. Maybe Damian should have sent him.

Re: [Snoozevamp] Damian's new friend
"Even vampires can die," Colin points out, though he's definitely awestruck at the thought of Damian being the child of a vampire. He thinks about that for a moment; "I didn't think vampires could have children? Oh! You said he was a DNA contributor. So your mother--she took your father's DNA?"
