It was easy. Tailoring isn't difficult.

[If you're a stupid Bat.]

Fine. I'll replenish what I use. [He may be an asshole, but he's at least learned to be polite? A little. Thank Bruce. And Alfred. And especially Dick Grayson.] Are quest rewards always random?

[inheritance]

Easy for you to say, if you already know how. [He's just teasing, though.]

We can go after we catch your geese. Ready to go?

[Izuku himself has a backpack slung over his shoulders. He's gone geese-catching a few times already, so he has some idea of how it works.]

[bittybat]

There's one more thing. [He's ready otherwise. Most of the stuff he had on him with the suit, he's still got on him now. Because... Bats.] You can't tell anyone what I'm going to reveal. Not a soul. If I find out, I'll make you regret it.

Understand?

[inheritance]

[Izuku just tilts his head, looking vaguely concerned and confused because wow suddenly this very serious.]

O-okay, I won't tell anyone! Is something wrong...?

[bittybat]

[Carefully, Damian pulls off the hood as if it's some kind of dramatic reveal. It's honestly not anything surprising. He's a young boy, looks younger than he might actually be, but close to Izuku's age. His dark hair and face resemble a certain man here, but only if Izuku has run into Bruce Wayne. His eyes, however, are from his mother, green.

And based on their shape, the color of his skin, he's definitely not simple whitebread. Depending on how good Izuku is with ethnicities, or if Izuku even cares to pick it out, he seems Middle Eastern.] My name is Damian.

We keep our normal identity and our working identity separate. You don't know I'm Robin when I'm out of the uniform. And you don't know I'm Damian when I'm in it.

[If... he ever gets back in it.]

[While Izuku is obviously studying him and taking note of his features, he hasn't met Bruce yet, so he doesn't make the connection just yet. He does notice the eye color, though, and it makes him smile. Hey, they match!]

Damian-kun. [Izuku says, trying the name out as he processes all this. He's getting a feeling that this is yet another difference between their worlds.] So, keeping your identities separate is a big deal in your world. Kind of like the old superhero comics we used to have. [It's more of a mumble to himself than anything.

When he looks up again, he gives Damian a serious nod.] I promise I won't say anything.

[Even if civilian and hero identities are pretty interchangeable in his own world, this obviously is really important to Damian and he'd trusted Izuku enough to tell him. Izuku won't betray that trust if he can help it.]

[bittybat]

[Of course, he opens his mouth to tell Izuku that the honorific isn't necessarily, but then... he closes his mouth. It's fine. That's Izuku's culture, and he won't infringe on that. If Izuku wants to call him Damian-kun, that's better than calling him, like, Shithead.] I'm trusting you. Don't disappoint me.

[CAN'T DAMIAN BE NICER TO GOOD PEOPLE? no]

Now I'm ready. Give me a reading about the geese.

[inheritance]

I won't. [The serious look melts back into a smile as he makes that promise.]

Well, you already know about the firebreathing ones, and the ones with the teeth. There's some that have extra pairs of wings, too. They're basically like all the other animals you can find inside the forest--they're all mutated, but not in the same way, even if they're the same base animal.

From what I've seen myself and heard from others, they usually move around the forest in small flocks. We should be able to capture a few of them if we separate them from the main group.
