[ It gets him to laugh. ] She likes them, that's all.
You wouldn't believe the questions I get about the shorts. Yeah, I get that they look weird. That's sorta the point of the whole getup. I don't get the freaky armor pants. Or the black cape.
If you say so. [ So something personal. If he wants the answer he'll have to try again later, maybe try someone else. A new thought's occurring to him on the heels of that one. ]
[Mistakingly under the assumption that that would be the end of that...]
Can't say for sure. I wasn't there.
But if I see him favoring one side or the other, or notice that he's trying to hide actual injuries...there are healers around. I'm sure he's fine, though.

Well, when you tend to work under the cover of night, black makes more sense.
The Robin I know likes to pull the whole ninja-magician thing. There one second, gone the next. Darker clothes help.

The real trick is pulling that off without the black.

Hey, you really want to prove you're clever?
Try it under a direct spotlight sometime.
[video;]
...Hey, that reminds me... what was the bombshell you dropped? [ and more importantly does he need to worry about it too? ]
[video;]
Uh...
It's nothing. Don't worry about it.

[ Does she know about Bruce? Can she know about Bruce? ]
Cause I- I mean I sort of had one too, that day.
[ video;]
In fact, I can pretty much guarantee it wasn't.
[Since she knew for a fact that the Zatanna in his world was...significantly older.]
[ video;]
You don't think I hurt his ribs too much, do you?

Okay. [ And there's an awkward beat of silence. ]
...Thanks for listening. I know you've kinda have to be in his corner on all this. Same universe solidarity and all.
[ Plus they're friends.
Apparently close friends. ]
[ video;]
Anytime.
And just because I end up in his corner a lot doesn't mean I can't wander from time to time. I never was all that good at sitting still for too long.
