[he hears the scrape, and turns to look back, before stopping down, and extending a hand.

This wasn’t strictly a competition. He could help him, if he didn’t want to use stability.]

Need a hand?

Wouldn't turn it down--!

[With a grunt, he hefts himself up to grab Jason's hand]

[and then he hefts him up to the roof, grinning in amusement, his hand not quite letting go even though he could.]

I told you— it’s hard to get up here.

[...Hm. Griffin smiles a little to himself, before shooting Jason the expected bantery response with a smirk.]

Or I coulda just walked?

[He doesn't let go either.]

You coulda.

But you didn’t.

[another pause. And then he let’s go of his hand, turning to look at the billboard.]

[Hm. Griffin doesn't answer that accusation right away - instead opting to lean his back against a wall and enjoy the view]

Well... I'd hate to say I only made it here the easy way.

Sure.

[he will just watch him for a moment.]

[Griffin glances back at him and-- smiles that fond, puppy dog smile of his.]

...You think 'rent a bat' will fit on that billboard?

[well THAT shakes him out of his reverie—]

— You wouldn’t.

[Laughs, unabashed and playful]

Me? Never.

It'd be rent a bird now, anyway.

Roy's an idiot.

[this feels not true, but also Roy's important so he gets to say it anyway]

Don't be like Roy.

[This also feels not true to Griffin, who frankly thinks shooting someone with an arrow to save them from falling is a Galaxy brain move]

I distinctly remember you calling him a genius?

Hmm. Seems fake.

God's honest truth.

I think you're just trying to find one good excuse to do the thing you know I don't want you to do.

[Smirks at Jason,]

You'd look good, though.

Flattery only works when I want it to work.

[this is not true, but you know what, he's just gonna acknowledge the attempt]

Oh, is that how it works?

[Seems fake]

It is.

[he is a man with no weaknesses, after all. Even with all this shameless flirting happening.]

Well something needs to go on that empty canvas.

I think you can be more creative than just stealing Roy’s idea.

Well, if you insist.

[He lightly bumps shoulders with Jason as he reaches to grab a sketchbook from his coat]

[he's not insisting-- though. not yet. if he thought he was serious, that would be another story.]

What else are you thinking?

[he's gonna glance at the sketchbook]

[There's some rough sketches of ideas with no home on the pages: skeletons garbed like saints, winged beasts in chains, crows turning into firebirds.

He holds them up to better imagine how they might look.]

I think I've been on a real bird kick lately.

[he points to the crows.]

Could be a good one for this.

[if he wanted his opinion at all-- they were all pretty good, but he liked the symbolism in that one.]
