In light of his injuries, Tim hadn't been doing as much work as he honestly would have liked to-- he was supposed to be taking it easy while he finished healing, and thus had spent more time around as himself, as opposed to as Red Robin.

Of course, he still had a lot of on his mind. Even without that taken into consideration, he wasn't a fan of idling. He'd spent a fair amount of time as 'Tim', at least, but beyond that-- well, if his work was being limited (though he could work on his own private things, as well), at least he still had training. He considered it physical therapy.

He had to be careful of course-- he was already probably moving himself too much-- but exercising was still important, after all. Even if it was lighter than he would normally allow himself. At least he was being sensible about it.

((ooc: Because of his injuries, Tim Drake is going to be around more than usual! While Red Robin is still in his usual haunts-- working with Engineering, Programming, Neuropathy, Security...--and with a decent amount of training mixed in. So feel free to run into him anywhere, as either, though those are the most likely places. c: ))

"Like you said-- it's a pretty bleak situation." He grimaced. "Definitely worse than anything I've dealt with before. We didn't even cover 'alien invasion' in my workplace safety meetings, let alone 'intergalactic war'." A poor joke, but no one ever said he had a good season of humour. "It sucks to have to grow up fast, though. Really."

"Right. So now we just play it safe and be careful."

Mindy shrugged. "Hey, you don't get to pick and choose how you grow, like, ever. What's the point in crying over something you won't get back? You take what you can get, and hope for the best. You have to live. That's about all you can do, besides putting your hands over your ears and pretending everything is ok."

She nodded. "I plan to. It was nice talking to you Tim. You see like a nice man. Who knows? We might cross paths again sometime."

"Of course not," Tim agreed. "We do what we can. We may not be happy about it, but denial won't get you anywhere, no. You do what you can to make the best of it, even if it's never that much."

He flashed a smile. "It was nice meeting you, Mindy. You're a good kid. I'm sure I'll see you around sometime soon." And he'll duck off, to leave her to any remaining scavenging in peace.
