[Artemis smiles wryly. She's been on the team for a while now and taken orders directly from the Dark Knight himself. She's even seen him in her living room, which was beyond weird...
Doesn't quite make up for everything, but she doesn't flinch at the Bat silhouette anymore.]
[ Ah, well, if anyone is a master of quick recoveries and locking his feelings in a steel-plated vault where they'll never, ever, ever see the light of day, it's Robin. ]
I'll get you next time, Gadget.
[ that's smooth, right? gee, why is he single, again? ]
[An small smile spreads across her face. Aside from her dad calling her "baby girl" all the time and the variety of (often less than complimentary) names her sister used to call her, she's never really had a nickname. Never really had friends close enough to use a nickname.]

no subject
Uh, mix me a strawberry and pineapple?
no subject
Okay, um... Strawberry and pineapple for this guy and coconut for me. Straight up.
[They get the snow cones and Artemis hands his over.]
Just like to take this moment to point out that I bought the snow cones. You know what that means.
[She arches an eyebrow at him.]

[ And he's startled when that actually disappoints him. ]
no subject
Not today, Romeo.

I'll get you next time, Gadget.

[ HAHAHA WHAT this snow cone is delicious ]

[ Robin smiles, too, softer and more genuine than his usual cocky smirk. ]
And, uh. Thanks for the snow cone.

[ He grins up at her, then leans against the railing to look out over the ocean. ]
Thanks for coming out with me today. It's been fun.

... We should do this kind of thing more often. [She sighs.] We both definitely need less running from angry robots and more hanging out on the beach.
[Not that angry robots have been their biggest concern for a while, but the point still stands.]
no subject
[ He means it, too. It's been... nice, spending time with her. Not at the Cave, not on a mission, just hanging out like normal people. ]
