The flowers were unexpected, but of course well liked. She wasn’t sure what to think of it. Nor the note that he had done up that came with the flowers. Every time she reread that note she felt a surge of anger. She didn’t want someone telling her how to live her life.
Yes, she knew Gotham was dangerous. Had known about it for a long time. She even moved to different buildings to stay safe. She was surprised at how angry one man could get her. She would like to yell at him if she had the chance. He would get a tongue lashing for presuming he knew her life better than she did. But the flowers made her blush and she didn’t understand why. Sure he was a piece of man flesh but normally she could ignore that. She thought about it and decided it was because he was a stranger and it was odd to get flowers from strangers. Then she thought about the note and decided he wasn’t the kind of person she’d want to get to know better.
But she did have ideas. It wouldn’t be so hard to go take self-defense classes. Maybe aikido or something else in that realm. She needed a chance to test her limits physically first. Learn what she was really capable of without putting her life in danger. That and she had a few ideas for keeping herself armed while moving around the city. She’d ask around the Nexus about that a few more times before settling. Heck, she might not settle on just one thing. Go for a few different things in case one thing didn’t work. That made more sense.
Plus she was going to get a dog. A friend of hers was going to help her pick one out. She needed a pet badly, she decided. A friendly dog that would make a good companion, that and look intimidating to anyone who didn’t know him. She can picture enjoying having a dog. For cuddling, playing, and the long walks she often takes after she’s done for the day. The idea does make her happy because sometimes she doesn’t want human company. Having a pet would give her that extra freedom. Plus, her friend did say the dogs were pretty cute.
