It is going to take more than words; Talia doesn’t like doing this, she despises it in fact. She remembers the first time she ever help and used one of these chunks of fatal metal, and she’d done it to protect him. She’d thrown it away like it burnt her, bursting into tears. —
"Talia, Put the sniper rifle down now." Batman said, looking toward her, then down to the target who leans over the silver railings.

Talia watches him move, daring to stand herself with a few steps in his direction. “It is a thankless sacrifice, to give yourself to such a cause. I admire what you have managed to turn yourself into.”

Her heart skips upon learning it hadn’t just been his wife. It is a cruelness he did not deserve. “And what is the end goal, for you? A better world? Or is bad people paying enough?”
"I lost 'them.". My wife. My children. But they are gone now. Buried and in a better place." "I don't do this for them....maybe the first couple of years. But this desire to right wrongs had been instilled in me since my childhood."

“He does not know I am here. Besides, I am not at the behest of his orders and whims. No need to be concerned about his interference.” She offers him a small smile that can only be described as fond, eyes taking him in. He shares some things in common with Bruce, but —
- passion he didn't seem to have any reason to antagonize. "As long as 'he' doesn't impede in my work, then it's none of my business. You understand."

He’s taking an interest. Or, more likely, probing for information. Something perhaps he can use. Smart man. She is, however, someone who wears her heart on her sleeve. To someone she trusts, she is an open book. Somewhat. Certainly after a glass of wine. “Gotham is.. —
"Sure is." Maybe this as far as it'll go for these two. Of course, it leaves him annoyed...but they've been at this for a while. He trusts Talia. At the same time, why not keep poking the lion? See where it takes him? "...tell me about Gotham."

Her has flexes a little; not in frustration, but because she isn’t used to him really asking.. anything without that usual scowl. She finishes her glass of wine, setting it aside before a tired hand runs through her tresses. “It is a good city to hide in.”
