[He's only over to make absolutely sure that nothing's decided to come loose or explode on his Grill-o-Matic, which of course, it shouldn't but anyway-

A box left for him is the last thing he expects. It's not like he does this gift thing just to expect returns, that's actually never something he considers, so he's genuinely surprised to find it. Donnie does have to smirk when he sees what it is. Oh Jason. What a funny guy.]

[robintohood]

[Jason saunters in after he hears Donnie come in and opening the box]

Hey.

[purplexing]

-oh hey. [Totally casual because it's normal for a guy to drop in on occasion through the window.]

Been getting your grill quota in? Just thought I'd check. Uh, this is...for me?

[robintohood]

Yup. Didn’t know where to send it and figured it was easier to just leave it here since you and your brother drop by often enough.

[purplexing]

[Donnie looks at the book again, really looks at it, flipping through some pages. Admittedly cookbooks are not something he's really looked through very often and while he figures he shouldn't be surprised, it's kind of amazing just how many recipes one can have for pizza- or pizza-adjacent food items.]

Okay, some of these look really good, actually.

...

You didn't have to... But thanks.

[robintohood]

You’re welcome. Just try not to burn down anything when you attempt any of those recipes.

[Especially not the penthouse’s kitchen]

[purplexing]

Yeah, yeah...

[robintohood]

And the grill’s been working great so far.

[purplexing]

[That makes him brighten instantly.]

Oh good! Glad to hear it.

[robintohood]

It’s certainly more nifty than a toaster at least. Great sandwiches so far.

[purplexing]

Just like I planned it! Good to know it's getting some good use.

[robintohood]

Did you make one of these for yourself too?

[purplexing]

Well, no. But I just might at some point.

[robintohood]

Might as well. Cooking will feel easier for you that way.

[purplexing]

Hmm. That is very true...

It'll have to wait a bit either way.

[robintohood]

How come?

[purplexing]

I've got a lot of other stuff on my plate, not that that's anything new of course.

[Other projects to put together, crimelords to track down, you know.]

[robintohood]

Right. Seems like you’re good at keeping yourself busy.

[purplexing]

[Donnie laughs dryly.] If I'm not busy then something's wrong.

[robintohood]

[Jason chuckles]

And yet, you and your brother always find time breaking in here.

[purplexing]

Hey, who says that's not keeping busy! My visitations are never without purpose.

[robintohood]

[Jason snickers]

Right. It’s keeping your skills sharp.

[purplexing]

Nothing wrong with multitasking.

[robintohood]

Nope. Not wrong with that. Feels almost like I should charge you guys for admission.

[purplexing]

If you're going to do that then you should at least have food and entertainment ready.
