"Yaoya it's okay" Dick tried standing again and found his knee's were finally working. His mothers face kept flashing through his mind and he was trying everything to make it stop. He looked over at Mr. Wayne with a miserable expression "I should- I should pack, right?" He wanted away from the circus as soon as he could.

"I...I can come visit, right?" She asked a bit timidly.

"Yes, but don't worry about what can't fit in a suitcase. I can always have that brought to the house later."
He turned to Yaoya.
"And of course you can visit. You just let one of us know and Alfred can come get you."

"I don't have much" he watched Bruce carefully, before heading inside. He hadn't intended on leaving Bruce and Yaoya outside but he wasn't exactly in the right state of mind to remember the basic rules of social interaction.
He stepped in to the trailer and sighed, moving quickly to his room and grabbing his suitcase. He only had a few pieces of clothes and his uniform, the rest were mementos from all the places they'd visited and he wasn't sure that he cared enough about them to bring them. But he put them in his suitcase anyway.
It only took 15 minutes for him to pack fully; he'd changed his clothes in to his winter coat and hat and came outside clutching a photo he and his parents had taken in a photobooth back in Gotham.

"Okay, thank you," She was saying.
While Dick had stepped in to get his things, Yaoya had gotten how to reach Bruce (or Alfred) so she could talk to Dick.
Yaoya jumped to her feet when Dick came back outside.
"You're...leaving already?"
She didn't know what she'd been hoping, but it felt so sudden.

Sensing a private moment, Bruce stood.
"I'll be over there when you're ready," he said to Dick, and picked a discreet distance away to phone Alfred and tell him about Dick.

Dick nodded thankfully to Bruce and turned to Yaoya "I can't stay here, I can't" he started to tear up again and he forced his hand to his eyes and pressed into them firmly "the sooner I'm not in this trailer, the sooner I'm away from here the better." He took her hand with his own shaky hand "You'll have Aideen and you can come and see me as often as you'd like, but my parents-" he closed his eyes "Bruce is being really generous and I don't want to abuse that generosity, he understands what this- his parents" but he couldn't finish and instead dropped his suitcase and threw his arms around her waist and held her.

Yaoya threw her arms around him and simply held him to her. She could feel herself crying, too, but of the two of them he was the one that needed it most.
"I'll come over a lot. I'll make everyone tired of seeing me." She promised. "You'll see, you'll always have me."
She didn't like how much like a more...permanent goodbye this sounded like. Like the kind of goodbye she'd had to make to her homeland. No, she thought, she wasn't going to lose anyone again. If she had to walk through a blizzard, she'd find a way to Dick or Aideen.

He held on to her a little longer. Everything was happening so fast and he felt as if the world was spinning. When he finally released her he leaned over and kissed her gently on the cheek. "Promise?"
He couldn't stand the thought of not having her around. It could be young love or just the emotions of the day, but the thought of never seeing her again hurt him somewhere deep.

Aideen held Edur's hand as she made her way to the Grayson's trailer; she didn't really know the boy too well, but she was sure that Yaoya would be there and she needed to be there for her at least.
As she came upon the trailer she saw the two holding each other at the top of the steps and caught her breath. There was so much violence in this world, so many tragedies and they'd all lost so much.
She was getting so tired of red eyes and wet faces.

Yaoya kissed his cheek in return.
"I promise."
Then, not knowing what else to say or do, but not wanting him to go without a token of some kind, she took the decorative flower out of her hair and handed it to him.
"Here. It's a good luck charm. I think you should have it more than me."
And you can look at it, and think of me when I'm not there.

He took it with a boyish smile and nodded "Thank you" and with an awkward smile he was heading toward Mr. Wayne, nodding to Aideen as he passed. He felt a little softer now, a little calmer, but the anger and nausea had yet to subside and he feared it would never go away.

Aideen came up to the bottom of the stairs to help her young friend if she needed it.

Yaoya watched Dick walk away for a moment before she turned to Aideen.
"Everything changed all of a sudden," she said. "Again."

Bruce waited for the young Mr. Grayson.
"I called Alfred. He'll be around soon with the car."
