Huh? [Whatever he'd been expecting, it wasn't that and though she can't see it he's giving the locket the most incredulous look right now.] What do you mean "if we can"? Doesn't that seem sort of...overdramatic?
[That's never been the issue here. Why would it be now?] Things are going to be over soon, I think. [Sooner than he knows, as he'll find out just how much time is left tomorrow from Jason Todd.] Leaving doesn't really mean you're leaving-leaving, you know? [There's a little shrug.]
You're not the first person to turn their backs on the court, and you're probably not gonna be the last. Not with the way things are sharping up, and fast. But that doesn't mean whatever you're thinking is wrong either. There's gotta be another way to do this, we just haven't locked all the pieces in yet.
[But again, a conversation tomorrow will change all of that. How different this would be if she'd called him a day later.]
Just don't give up hope and keep fighting for what you believe. [Even if it's different than what he believes in. It's the same thing he'd say to Lightning, too.]
