psa: no one is allowed to tell me off for wandering alone in riverview because you guys are all the worst kids ever when you get tiny.

you also all have like zero self-preservation instincts. ZERO.

also if you're a tiny kid and you don't want adults in your business, I'm happy to help out.

[ Jon is skeptical of that. Especially since, well . . . none of the younger kids seem to have anything handled. ]

If you say so.

You're getting rid of the hood though, right? Did you get a bad haircut or something?

[lieborn]

Your faith in me is overwhelming, truly. And my hair is fine! This is what people wear on Asgard, Balder wore it until he was dead. Try and move past it.

[supersweet]

I have faith! . . . Okay, I kind of lost a little lately, but I've still got it!

[ Asgard must be where fashion goes to die. Jon doesn't usually care, but the hood is just weird. ]

I guess I don't get it. You had nice hair. It was all smooth and stuff.

[lieborn]

You are the strangest child.

[ A lock of his hair is tugged free by his temple. ]

Can you slow your roll, now?

[supersweet]

Slow my . . . roll?

[lieborn]

This is why I should be the leader of whatever army you're rounding up, I know all the memes. There is no skill more useful.

[supersweet]

Not every kid talks in memes and internet references, y'know.

[ Like. Good luck expecting Damian to know any. ]

[lieborn]

Well, I can't account for every boring soul out there.

[supersweet]

That's my point. They're all different and running scared.

Well, most of them I think.

[lieborn]

How do you know that? You're just one little boy, Jon.

[supersweet]

[ Jon digests that quietly before answering. ]

What's wrong with that?

[lieborn]

For one thing, you need more little boys to back you up.

[supersweet]

[ He grins despite himself. ]

I could use the backup.
