[When the feed flicks on, Thor's face engulfs it before he notes to move it back a little more. He's alright with technology, but not great.]

Hello. [He says, and he needs to pause because he feels like he's talking to himself.]

In amongst recent.. events, I thought it might be of some use to offer training in strength and combat. We are well protected, to be sure, but a new start in life can be enriched with new skills. If you are interested in learning, I can make myself available.

And on that note- [The camera shifts as he stands, and he swivels it to pan over a sad, indoor collection of potted plants. All in varying states of death. It's a horror movie for plant-based life forms.]

In the interest of learning new skills, I have begun to garden. I am aware it has not gone to plan. [He swivels the camera back to himself, unimpressed.]

I need a hardy plant, one that can withstand my novice abilities. I've no care for something pretty, I just want it to live. [The saddest request he's ever made, he's sure.]

If you have experience in this area, I'd be interested to know why my plants have made a murderer of me. I can provide coffee for your services.

( The feed offered a view of a young boy in his early teens at best. But the look on his face was distant, surprisingly disinterested and unimpressed with what he's seen so far. )

Tt. First, what kind of plants do you have?

( The view shifted, enough for Damian to lean forward wherever he's sitting to perch his elbow on the desk and tip his cheek against his hand. ) Different plants will require various degrees of care and commitment. You don't treat them all the same.

( One dark brow lifted as he gave the man a few seconds to process his words before continuing. )

Second, when do you train? ( He're more than capable of handling himself, but as long as he was here, he planned to make the most of whatever training resources he could. The more he learned, the more fierce an opponent he could become. )

I am aware that they are not all the same. This is why I sought flowers that can endure my care. [He shrugs.] They are flowers, I presumed they would require water and sunlight.

[But he's less interested in talking about his failures and more interested in talking about things he's good at. Like punching.]

I can make myself available at most hours, though I'm on call for Search and Rescue most evenings.

The question becomes how much water and sunlight.

( Flowers are boring, though. He's much more interested in Thor's training schedule. )

I want to train with you soon. ( A number of things could be said about his response. The first was he was too calm saying it to be a beginner, not at all concerned with who he might be going up against even in the context of training. Second, he assumed the man was going to agree. )

The question becomes whether I am cursed to cripple any plant I touch. [And he's not being over-dramatic about this at all.]

Then do so. I am free more often than not. [Thor doesn't question anything about Damian's eagerness. If anything, it just reminds him of himself.]

[bestrobin]

( Wow, talk about a drama queen. ) Maybe you don't need a normal plant.

( He takes a minute to consider what he's being told, considering his own free time. )

I will. What forms of combat are you familiar with?
