Batman is observant, it's a very important skill that he's made sure to pass on to his protegé, and Dick couldn't help but notice the tiny figure that's been just on the edge of his vision for a little while now. It's not been every night, and they've never gotten involved with anything him and Bruce had been doing, so he hadn't mentioned it, but he had to admit his curiosity was definitely piqued.

It was probably worth investigating, just in case there was something more sinister going on, but privately Dick had to admit he was mostly just curious. Unless he was very much mistaken, it was a kid even younger than himself who'd been following them, and he just really wanted to know why.

Finding her wouldn't be easy, he had no idea where she was coming from, only that she occasionally showed up on their patrol routes, so the only option he had was running those self-same routes - just much earlier than planned. On the second run, he had a stroke of luck - he spotted her getting settled in just in time to duck out of the way before she saw him.

Creeping round, he climbed his way down the fire escape as silently as possibly, before hooking his knees around the railings and dropping to hang upside-down in front of her.

"Hey there."
