"Keep going...just think of the numbers..."
Bruce had had more than his share of these in the early days, when he was still trying to cope with his loss. The similarities between him and the young Grayson just made him even more determined to help the boy as much as he could.

After a few minutes of counting he finally felt like he could breathe, he inhaled shakily and held his knee's to his chest "What- what was," he looked up at Mr. Wayne "what in the hell was that?"

"Panic attack." He said quietly. "A perfectly understandable one."
((Oh I'm thinking Oshichi is gonna show up soon. I'm sure the news would've gone around circus by now))

((Yes!))
"Shit" he shook his head "shit."
Dick closed his eyes but all he could see was his mother, so he opened them up immediately; he was afraid of what the night would bring.

Bruce started to say something else when a girl about Dick's age came racing up to them.

Her fire-dancing costume fluttering around her like red and yellow butterflies, Yaoya didn't slow down until she'd reached Dick. She'd tried to slow the tears that had started, but they were still streaming down her face when she arrived.
"Dick! I--" She took a deep breath to calm herself, and reached out for his hands. "I'm sorry!"

He immediately took her hands and tried to stand up, but found his legs were still weak. So instead he just sat there holding her hands and leaning his forehead against them.

Crying, she wrapped her arms around Dick and just held him.

He leaned his head in to her chest and wrapped his arms around her waist, she was warm like he always imagined her to be, and sat there shaking in her arms.

"I'll always be here when you need me," she said between tears. "Wherever you go."

He nodded, unable to say much more.
The days events had worn him down to some sort of shell, he felt empty and cold.

They sat that way for some time, until Yaoya finally noticed the man in the suit sitting nearby. He seemed vaguely familiar to her, but she couldn't really think of why.
"Ah...hello, sir."

Dick looked up, Mr. Wayne didn't seem bothered "Oh Yaoya this is, this is Bruce Wayne he- he's uh offered to let me stay with him for a while."

Even his name was familiar. Maybe she'd read about him in the paper? Look very important in that suit, regardless.
"Mr. Wayne, I'm Yaoya Oshichi. I'm...I'm very glad that you're going to help him. He deserves all the kindness you can give."

Bruce smiled faintly. It was obvious that Yaoya was smitten with Dick. It felt almost strange to smile. It'd been a long time since he'd smiled about anything.
He should've taken Alfred's advice sooner.
"Pleased to meet you, and yes, I'll do everything that I can for him, I promise you."
