Bros Around the World (Jai West)
Some of the best coffee shops around were, from Robert's experience, in Italy. He was currently sitting down at one such coffee shop in Florence, Italy, patiently waiting for Jai to meet him there. It was normal for Robert to settle in early, given that Jai would be the first one to arrive everywhere else for the rest of the day. Minutes passed by as he sat there, reading a Stephen King novel while waiting for 12 PM.

And it's 12pm on the dot, there's even the distant chime of a bell to signal it, when Jai takes his seat. He gives his friend a wave, not bothering to talk much until he knew Robert would be able to read his lips. "Hey Robert, it's been a while. Early as always right? By the way, I've been brushing up." To explain, he pulls out a guide to sign language book from his bag to show then returns it and continues in ASL.

Read it last night again. Been a while since I used it. Anyway, how have you been?

As soon as the clock hit 12pm, Robert looked up to see his friend sitting across from him. Jai was on time, as always. Robert smiled and waved back.

That's great to see, Jai. Your execution is improving, too.

He liked having Jai around. Aside from being a great friend, Jai was one of the few people he knew that knew sign language.

I have been doing well. The Teen Titans have been keeping me busy. How about you? How have your studies been?

Thanks, I try. Great to hear it Robert! It feels like forever since we've hung out at the tower. School's been good, Math has been going real well. Actually thought I'd jump back on the hero bandwagon.

Sign language he'd picked up to be able to talk to Robert as they were growing up. It wasn't too hard to learn when you had someone to practice with and help you out. Though he read through the manuals slowly, if he ever needed help mid sentence he sometimes would speed read parts. Not to break up a conversation of course. The slow reading he'd do later on his own

	It does feel that way, I agree. Really? That's great news. Are you planning on coming back to the Titans? The rest of the team would be happy to hear about this, for sure. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fastasyoucan 2012-12-18 02:09 am UTC (link)
	Was certainly thinking of it. Missed you guys. I hear the roster's changed a bit. How's it with you guys? Team going well I hear? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	feelmypride 2012-12-18 02:15 am UTC (link)
	There are a few additions to the roster you may not remember, yes. But the team is keeping steady and doing well, although there was an issue with Ruth and Jay recently. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jai looks immediately concerned. Is everyone alright? What happened? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	feelmypride 2012-12-18 02:27 am UTC (link)
	They were not acting like normal. They were arguing, and Ruth threw a teammate at Cait. A newer teammate, Max, had to immobilize her with one of his inventions. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fastasyoucan 2012-12-18 02:36 am UTC (link)
	That's...problematic. Did you find out why? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	feelmypride 2012-12-18 02:40 am UTC (link)
	Not yet, but the team is working on it. You coming back now is lucky timing for us. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sounds like an extra hand might be good.Are they their usual selves now? When the waiter comes to get Jai's order, he initially gives the guy the order in ASL before stopping part way. "Sorry about that. I'll just have a coffee, whatever you got my friend is probably good. Thanks."

Oops. Forgot to stop hand talking. See what you've gotten me doing? You can tease in hand signing, Jai personally thinks it's more expressive that way anyway.

	Not quite yet, unfortunately. Robert couldn't help himself from laughing a little at Jai's 'dilemma'. It's alright, because that waiter knows sign language. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fastasyoucan 2012-12-18 07:44 am UTC (link)
	Really? Why didn't you tell me man? But Jai's laughing a little too at this. How was he to know really? Not back to normal still? Outside influence I guess? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	feelmypride 2012-12-18 08:13 am UTC (link)
	I wanted to see if you're sign the full order or not before going back to speaking. He smirked, but it was short lived. That's what we're assuming. It has to be something to do with their powers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fastasyoucan 2012-12-18 08:18 am UTC (link)
	You got me there. It was accompanied with a chuckle that died into a thoughtful look. That narrows it down at least. Any leads or specialists coming in yet? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	feelmypride 2012-12-19 02:21 am UTC (link)
	I think that's the next step for the team. I'm not sure, though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fastasyoucan 2012-12-19 02:26 am UTC (link)
	Well you know if you need me you can call right? I'll be there in a second. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	feelmypride 2012-12-19 02:38 am UTC (link)
	Right now I'm hoping we won't have to call on you, since you might already be there, right? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fastasyoucan 2012-12-19 02:46 am UTC (link)
	Jai winked. You got it. On a more cheerful note, what have you been up to? Anything outside of titans stuff and monitor duty? (Reply to this)(Parent)
