Not even remotely the point.

[But true.]

[How the hell did I typo that.]

Hey, you can't deny it.

[You were distracted by the hotnes(s)?]

So who's denying anything?

I'm merely stating a fact so obvious that we're both fully aware of it. Which kind of makes saying it out loud kind of redundant, but hey, I'm pretty sure you started it anyway.

[Zatanna makes a strong case. Which leaves only one option.]

I know you are, but what am I?

Actually five years old?

Man, I forgot I was five. Time really does fly.

Tell me about it.

At this rate, I'm going to be seventeen and not even realize.

[Time not only flew, but it tended to get away from you when you couldn't keep track of the exact days. She knew it was around February thanks to that one person making some announcement of Valentine's some time back, which meant May was only a few months' down the line.]

Seventeen? When's your birthday?

May 20th.

I'm kind of surprised you never thought to ask before.

You know, it suddenly dawns on me why you made all those May-December jokes.

[Were she talking to just about anybody else besides Kon, she would have also pointed out the fact that Robin's birthday just happened to be in December. For once, she kept her mouth shut.]

A fondness for word play and younger guys?

Coincidentally, I'm fond of witty magicians and older women.

Funny how that worked out for the both of us, then.

[His fingers earned a light squeeze as she very casually leaned against his arm. Both the path they'd been wandering and any semblance of purposeful destination had long since been lost to her. Now, they were walking for the same of walking.]

Yeah. Though at my age, pretty much everyone is an older woman.

[Exactly as planned!]

Are you calling Kon and Kal older women?

Zee. Run that by me again.

You're the one who stated "everyone" without specifying.

Last time I checked, Conner and Kal counted.

There we go.

Okay, I'll give you Conner but let's face it -- Kal is kind of a big girl at times.

[You are aware that they can both hear you, right, Kon?]

How so?

[Right? It makes hitting his annoying little brother quota/turning Kal's hair grey that much easier!]

All that self-sacrifice, concern for others and generally being a nice person.

And you think that makes him a big girl?

I literally can't figure out if that's supposed to be some sort of odd compliment or not.

I may be just testing his pings.

Do you think he's learned to tune me out?

Don't be so paranoid, Kon.

We've all learned to tune you out ages ago.

Wow. That was cruel, and unusual.

[She laughed, leaning in for a peck on his nose.]

I tune back in for the important stuff. Scout's honor.
