hello hello I don't know why you say goodbye I say hello [largely open]

Santa Claus' workshop is simultaneously incredibly surprising and not surprising in the slightest. It's certainly a new experience, but its design and decoration make it essentially exactly what she'd imagine if she was asked to imagine what it would look like. Admittedly, she hasn't really believed in its existence since - did she ever believe in its existence? Hmm.

At least the red in her suit sort of fits in with the general color theme. The vocal distorter's off but the mask is still on, so she's really just what you'd expect from your third Robin up until she starts talking.

Which, to be fair, she's not doing a whole lot of compared to glancing around with interest while she waits for Cassie to find her brother and Kon and whoever else she deems appropriate.

"Sorry about Kon," Cassie says, approaching Robin with two mugs of steaming cocoa. "I tried to give him a heads up, but he zipped off the moment the words "there's a version of our Robin here" were out of my mouth."

She held out one of the mugs, handle out for Robin to take.

"So, now that we're not standing in front of a complete stranger, what's the pronoun situation here?"

"Hm?" She accepts the mug automatically and blows on it a little to cool it so she won't burn her tongue on the first taste. "It's all right; we managed. And - generally, female when I'm not..." She waves a hand vaguely. "...on duty."

"Of course you managed," Cassie says wryly. It is Robin after all, managing is what Robins do.

She saluted the other young woman with her mug. "Awesome. I figured I should go ahead and ask instead of making guesses and putting my foot in my mouth."

With that important question out of the way, and with a now-greater degree of privacy, Cassie had a few other questions about her new/old buddy. But she didn't want to hammer on the "you're stuck here with alternate reality versions of the people you care about" topic, so:

"You got any questions I can clear up?"

[thegoshdarn]

"You're... what? In your twenties now?"

Because her best friends going off and growing up without her is something she would like to deal with, thank you.
