"Patrolled?" said Rorschach harshly, the gutteral tone he usually had not even amplified, but almost splittering, more like amp distortion than an actual word. "Patrolled, Daniel?" His posture spoke better than he did, hunched and defensive, a hand at the ascot furiously tugging at it to make sure any pathway to the face beneath the mask was absolutely, completely closed - both a sign of shutting out the others and securing his own identity, burrowing into it and staying there stubbornly.

Dan rolled his eyes "Oh come on Rorschach, get a hold of yourself."

"Why did the... girl patrol, Daniel?"
The break between the article and the noun itself was not judgmental, nor deliberate. It was merely a slight pause, as though Rorschach didn't remember the last time he'd used the word in a non-abstract way and had to feel his way through it.

"I brought her along with me to show her how Archie worked" he took off his glasses and pinched the center of his nose "Megan's got a bit of a gift and I was at the time, entertaining the possibility of training her."
He turned to Megan still looking quite perturbed that she even said anything "Show him, please."

"I, um-"
She sheepishly opened up her hand and made a tiny flame appear at the tip of each of her fingers.

"Could be useful," he admitted, perhaps a bit grudgingly, before rounding on Dan again. "Daniel. Other room. Now.."

"I'll just go back upstairs-"

"Yes dad" he sighed, turning to Megan "that's probably for the best."

"I'll see you in a bit," Megan said quickly, glancing over her shoulder at Rorschach as she left.

He waited until he heard the girl's door shut upstairs, and then slowly turned to face Dan.
"Patrol?"

"That's all it was" Dan rolled his eyes "that's it okay? So I've been doing a little work after retirement, so what? It's not as if my partner is around these day's anyway."

"Yes, so I could get away from exactly what I'm doing now. I know, hypocritical of me, hate me all you want. Minds change Rorschach and I'm sorry all right?"

"Paris becoming center of world anyway," Rorschach grumbled. "America left to crumble in the hands of the corrupt while the rich flee to be coddled by European decadence."

"Yea" Dan couldn't help but agree with him on that, it was if Paris was becoming LA and New York combined.
