---

Talia al Ghul has posed:
She had just dropped off a note under Damian's door stating that his grandfather had dropped in on her. Something afterwords about a sobbing session with Phoebe that had to be exaggerated. Now, sitting out over at the lake, Talia can just only stare along at it as the dawn breaks and the sun rises up. She looks exhausted - her normally perfectly done persona is completely disheveled.

Damian Wayne has posed:
     Damian had received the note, and met Talia where she desired. He himself wasn't sure of what Ra's' plans were in Gotham. But now that he was here, it was a concern of his.

  He was back from patrol, in civilian clothes now, but he made his way to the lake where he had spent many a time contemplating and throwing things for Goliath to catch. "What do you want done?" He asks, simple and to the point.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul would close her eyes, "Damian. I.." She would take a breath, "I do not know." she would turn over to face her son. "I feel like even with everything I've done, it's all as he's expected and what he wanted of me. No matter what I do, even when I think I've cut his strings.." That she's still just weaving along to his machinations.

Damian Wayne has posed:
     "He claims it was his idea to cut you off and for you to live here?" Damian asks, marching closer to the lakeside, grabbing a stone.

     "All some grand scheme to get Father to head up The League? Or what more? To get me to come back?"He throws the stone as hard as he can, making a thunking splash when it collides with the water.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul would close her eyes, "I don't know. I just know that he had people watching me since I came to the city that I wasn't aware of." Talia is paranoid, and has had a lifetime training with the League. So her having been kept under observation the entire time has thrown her for a major loop.

Damian Wayne has posed:
     "YOU TELL THE DEMON'S HEAD HE CAN SHOVE IT RIGHT UP HIS ASS SIDEWAYS!" He yelled out, more than angry at the situation.

  Damian huffed after, his face reddened and angry. "To Hell with him, mother. Father and I will take care of him." The Demon's Hand had retired his sword for costumed fighting, but this wasn't a Robin or a Batwing issue, this was a Damian Wayne issue. "If he was shadowing you, then there is another safehouse in Gotham that you nor I were aware of."

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul would nod and frown, "Likely multiple. I don't know how. Or by whom. I keep on being reminded how far his network goes." The outburst from Damian catches her by surprise.. And then she goes to start laughing. "That's definitely something you've picked up here."

Damian Wayne has posed:
     Damian ran his hand through his crew cut, sighing. "You nor I want to be under his thumb. Do the needful and help us keep him out of Gotham." He asks, looking right at his mother.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul would nod softly, "I'll do whatever I can to help." That bit comes without hesitation or thought. She's gone to ground from her father, hidden from his worst impulses.. But never outright defied him.

Damian Wayne has posed:
     "Does Father know?" He probably did, but he wanted to make sure there was no doubt.

  He made his way back to where she sat, and gave another sigh. "I cannot imagine that he will abide knowing Grandfather is here."

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul would nod, "I passed along a note the same way I did you. I don't know what Father's greater schemes are or why he came into the city personally." She doubts something so unimportant as 'check on his daughter' was the main reason.

Damian Wayne has posed:
     Damian took some walks toward the mansion. "Then there is work for me to do." He commented, before he started making his way back, he would need to plan this out. War was coming, and the warrior needed to prepare.
