[align=center][div style="width: 500px; text-align: justify; font-size: 9.7pt;"]For once in his time in the lodge, everything in the world seems to be going well. That was a pleasant feeling, and one that leaves Bruce with this deep-seated warmth, a certain... Ease that reminds him to, well  relax. His work for the day is done, and although the soreness from earlier hasn't dissipated, he finds that he would rather be here than anywhere else. That is, perhaps, the strangest realization he has ever had. Good company would make it better (and he would be lying to say he wasn't looking for someone in particular), but for once, Bruce isn't going to try and insist that Johannes was bad company. They shared their differences, but the mood right now is too good for him to fight about anything. He lowers himself almost gingerly onto one of the logs that he'd dragged up, and while the man doesn't speak right off of the bat, he does find the  would it be courage?  to offer the dictator a faint smile. "This is nice."

[align=left][justify][size=9pt]As Rudolf approaches the bonfire, he sees two of the people he knows best at the lodge; Johannes and Bruce. It was strange, to see the two of them alone and doing well together. It was no secret that the two of them didn't get along; after the previous meeting, the one before this last one, it would be surprising if anyone didn't know about their disagreements. But Rudolf knew they could find something to agree on, at least for one night. Approaching the pair, he waved, smiling. how are you? he signed, looking at each of them and then to the fire. It looked great, reaching so high into the sky like that.

robin said he would stop by the bonfire, so here he was! and what a lovely night it was to. well, the sun was still setting, but still. just watching all the colors fading from the sky was enough to bring a smile to his face. man, when was the last time he had stopped to watch the sunset? it had been a while, that's for sure, most likely when he was still on the road. the brunette would pause for a moment in order to revel in the sight before leaning against the tree, his eyes wandering over to the fire. there was just something about the flames that captivated him. he would continue to stare at it for quite a while, choosing to stay quiet as the others conversed.

Things were turning out surprisingly well. Dick didn't mean that he'd expected them to go south, but compared to how their days went typically, recently, everything was amazing. Maybe the others didn't feel that to the same degree -only one other person here was, to his knowledge, engaged- though he knew they were all enjoying the much needed reprieve from scrambling for survival. Flintlock Lodge seemed more like a home now, more like a place where Dick could marry his better half and wake up to him every day, although truth be told, he would do that anywhere, whether or not the mornings he woke up to were bleak or warm- as long as Win was there, the sun was that much brighter. Of course, that didn't diminish the meaning of their peaceful times, as willing as Dick was to stay with Win even when the goings were rough. The atmosphere here had lightened considerably, and finding everyone settled around a bonfire was something he could approach easily, without his mind constantly reminding him he had tasks to complete. Dick wasn't fully free from those thoughts, but enough so that he could smile, small and genuine, before dropping down quietly beside Win and immediately leaning into him. He was tempted to grab one of his hands, but with Rudolf, he didn't want to interrupt Win's ability to reply to him, so he just shifted his gaze up to the signing man, aiming the grin at him and then over at the kid he hadn't actually met yet. "I don't want to jinx anything, but it's perfect." [align=center]

[align=center][div style="width: 500px; text-align: justify; font-size: 9.7pt;"]If he's being honest, Bruce can't even say for certain what he holds against Johannes. Aside from him being excessively petty about his disappearances and reappearances, it was something that everyone around him would have to get used to eventually. He couldn't say that it was just some kind of restlessness that drove him to move. He left because in the end, that had been what was best for his family. And he came back because no matter how well he slept at night, the people here still needed him. One day he'd get out of this debt free. Eventually, there would be a home that was just theirs, and he could leave Flintlock out of his mind, because they were doing well enough that they didn't need people like him. He just hopes that by that point, Damian won't have forgotten what it's like to have a dad that's there every morning.
Thoughts like that are rather miserable for something as gentle as this, so instead of lingering on them, he turns his attention to the conversation, smiling faintly at Rudolf when he signs back good, and then how are you? in quick succession, the motion just barely disrupted by the press of another body against him. While the contact on its own might have been startling, he knows the shape of him, and turns without thought to offer him more space to lean into. Signing or not, he wraps an arm over his shoulders and lets that hand skate through his partner's already messy hair, leaving a quiet kiss to his temple. "Now that you're here, I'm inclined to agree," he says into that same space, the smile never quite leaving his face as he shifts them both slightly closer. If he needs to, he can talk around him. There's still someone here who has yet to converse, though, and Bruce twists slightly to look at Robin where he was, leaning against some tree with his eyes on the horizon, and then the fire. "You know you can come sit with us, right?" [align=center]

[align=left][justify][size=9pt]rudolf couldn't help but smile in the feeling of comradery between the group of them. It was so simple, like it had been before the world had gone to crap. me too. he signed back to Bruce, looking around at the others. The group was growing, and soon it would be too big for him to effectively understand and keep track of what everyone was saying, but for now it was nice. Johannes, despite the calm atmosphere, was tense - as per usual. It confused the man how he could always be so worried, so terse. He needed to teach the dictator how to loosen up a bit.
