ward of wayne, bird enthusiast, code-genius, ex-trapeze artist. which means exactly what you think it does. free dinner to the first name joke I haven't heard.
well i was born in the 15th century but i am from the 18th century. and my education was done at home
but i like languages too. though i cannot code for obvious reasons.
i think if you are anything like him, you will be good at dancing but acrobatics, really? perhaps there is a troupe here that you could join or a circus though i have not seen one. how did you learn to do that?
Alright then the 18th Century. That's still another 300 years of humanity trying its best to destroy itself and coming out alive even still. It's pretty amazing.
Do you want to learn? It's just another language, so once you pick up the grammar of it, it's not too difficult.
[ well that's...kind of. difficult to parse through how he feels about that. ]
Maybe. Not really sure how alike we're supposed to be at this point.
[ he certainly has never fallen in love with a norse god. but hey, there's time. ]
In a circus, actually. I grew up in one for a long time. My parents were a part of this trapeze group called the Flying Graysons, so when I was born I was kind of raised up into it.
you have a point. perhaps i should know what lies in store for me
[ Or for the world, anyway. It couldn't do any harm to be prepared. ]
do you think you could teach me? if you could, i would like to learn i think these are things my friend axel knows. i could surprise him
and i did not know about the circus. did you live there? in my world circus troops would travel around, never staying in one place is that the same for you?
An admirable quality, honestly. But sure- let me know when you're free and I can set something up. :)
It's nice, in a lot of ways, and I'm not going to lie- a miss it a lot of the time. But there are perks to parking it, too. Just a matter of what you value more. I didn't really decide- my parents had an accident during one of our shows and didn't make it. Before I could get tossed into foster care, a billionaire in the city we were performing kind of took me in.
[ it's been all over the news for years, dick's gotten pretty used to telling the story by now. ]

I could, yeah, if you were interested.
It's a bit tricky and really frustrating, though. I'll just warn you now.
I did, and it was.
Not exactly an easy life, but when you've got a family that big, it helps a lot. :)

i like the idea of traveling
i have always wanted to. and i have to an extent, but not as much as i would like
why did you decide to stop?

oh, dick
i am so sorry. i did not know, or i would not have asked
does that mean that you no longer use the trapeze?
you have no wish to begin it again?
