Ever since Tim worked out (a) worked out Batman and Robin's identity and (b) realized that she could sneak out of the house at night without anyone noticing, she has a system. She keeps a bag packed with her camera, a bottle of water, and some snacks in case she gets hungry, and she has a set of dark-colored clothes, a nice warm jacket and shoes with a lot of grip for running around Gotham. When she gets to go out depends on who's at home with her that night. Tonight is really easy, because her parents are in the city but at a big party, and usually they go right to bed when they get home without checking on her.

She's gotten really good at analyzing patrol patterns based on current crime rates and past patrol routes. Bruce Wayne is supposed to be at the party tonight, so she heads to one of the most likely places Robin is going to go to tonight.

It's colder than she expected tonight, but that's okay. Tim finds herself a snug, semi-hidden place on a fire escape and settles in with her legs pulled up to her chest for warmth. All she has to do now is wait.

When Batman came over, it was obvious for a moment that he thought Dick was talking about Tim's presence, which is probably why he frowned particularly deeply when Dick practically ignored Tim and pushed the camera towards him. Dick tried to look innocent for as long as possible, but Batman clearly wasn't having it.

Bruce lifted a hand, beckoning Dick to follow him, before turning and stalking a little way away. Wincing, Dick followed him and there was an obvious whispered argument happening. Neither of them raised their voices enough for Tim to catch anything of what they're saying, but it was clear that Dick was in a lot of trouble. He waved the camera at Batman insistently, trying to get him to focus on the important thing, and finally the older man took it and watched the video. A few minutes later, Dick returned and crouched down in front of Tim.

"Hey...so... you really can't come out and do this anymore, okay? And Batman wants to know a bit more information so he can check up on you, because we're worried about you..." and he knows she probably doesn't want to get her parents in trouble, but there isn't really any avoiding it now "but the video is really good, okay, and it's really helpful, so we're pleased with that."

"It's not about getting in the way," he tells her as gently as possible "It's about you, remember? We don't want you to get hurt... " he also can't deny he's a little glad Bruce is going to get her parents looked into, because she is out and about far too often for them to be looking after her properly.

Dick's not the kind of kid who'd just wash his hands of the whole thing and assume it was done with, he's relieved to see no sign of Tim on their next couple of patrols, but he liked Tim, he thought she was adorable. Besides, they had a deal, and he didn't want her heading out again because it had been a while since he visited. Plus he just sort of wanted to check up on her, Batman speech or not, he didn't trust that she would be okay and properly supervised now without seeing it for himself.

So the next chance he got between patrols, he headed over to the apartment, dropping himself down from the roof. He's glad to find the window already open and swings himself in side, rolling onto the carpet and jumping to his feet with a little flourish intended to make her laugh.

"hey," he gives her a little grin, reaching out to ruffle her hair reassuringly.

"Don't look so worried Timmy, I'm just dropping by to say hello."

"Oh.." he glances towards the door, frowning slightly, then lowers his voice to a whisper and leans in conspiratorially "How come, did you get into trouble?"

"Oh dear, did you get grounded?" he asks gently, plonking himself down on her floor cross-legged. He doesn't realise right away that it's because of them "What happened?"

"Well, sure, you know it's-" he stopped, frowning slightly "Wait, is this because of you going out to take pictures?" he hadn't meant to get her into trouble.

He feels guilty that he was the cause of it, though he can sort of understand why parents might react that way, he just hopes they managed to do some good as well.

"...ok... but before I do, are your parents around more often, or do you have a sitter when they're away?"

"...Any more than they used to?" he asks pointedly, frowning. Had they changed anything at all? Did they just blame it all on Tim?

"Are they here right now?"

"Tim, you know this isn't all your fault, don't you?" he says gently "It's not good to run off on your own, but they should've been looking after you more too."

"You're just a kid, Tim, it's okay to make mistakes sometimes, and sure sometimes you have to take responsibility for them, but parents are there to look after us, and you're a little young to be left on your own so often."

"Well... sure, you can, you've proved that," he agrees, wanting to be encouraging "but that doesn't mean it's okay for the to leave you alone all the time."
