Due (Matrimonial) Diligence
So... getting married. It was a thing now. A thing that was actually going to happen, not at some nebulous far off point in the future, but within the year. Riley and Dinah didn't want some big drawn out engagement. There'd been vague discussions of dresses and guests lists and venues, but Riley was really on the fringe of all that. Oddly enough, Uncle Ted and Dad had taken over most of the planning, with various interventions by Aunt Sue.

Riley and Dinah, for their part, knew that pre-marital counseling was a sound idea, so they'd checked with Ruth about the idea and set up a schedule. Riley was meeting with her first, before Dinah's session, and then both of them.

So he's waiting in his usual room at the Tower, a few healthy snacks and drinks on hand out of gratitude to Ruth, along with a small gift-wrapped box as a thank-you present.

She nodded. "Okay, yeah, probably a good idea to figure out the best way to work that up."

"Cool. One last thing: do you two feel that your'e on the same page, or at least understand where the other's coming from, when it come to basic philosophical fundamentals? Whether it's religion or it's Gotham-Style vigilantism versus other stripes of heroism, or one of you's thinking of going vegan."

Riley sits back in his chair a little bit, fingers drumming on one knee as he thinks. "I don't have any real concerns about the whole Gotham factor, but..." He looks at Dinah, almost apologetically.

"I know there's been one time in particular where Dinah really had to understand how important it was not to interfere, but time travel is.." He lets out a sigh, thinking of when they had dressed up as Maria's dad and Dinah's mom. "Time travel has a lot of tough choices to make. Rip and Dad have trained me since I could walk to deal with that.

There's a part of me that doesn't want Dinah to have to make those choices in the first place, and... a small part that worries about if she had to. I'm sorry, honey." He apologizes to his fiancee.

"You don't have to apologize," Dinah told him, hesitating only a moment. "I knew the job was dangerous when I took."

"But I think the two of us are pretty good at figuring out where the other's coming from. Always have been, pretty much."

She went on. "I do worry about you making some of those kinds of choices sometimes. Or some of the risks with it all."
