The uniformed man's grin left Nightwing uneasy. An unusual reaction to be completely truthful but one motivated by his deductive intuition, reasoning inspired by the knowledge both imparted onto him and gained throughout his years. It was clear these people knew more than he. They were not there by coincidence and certainly not intimidated by his methods. Suggesting that initiating combat or anything close to it would likely end in a way the masked vigilante wouldn't favor. Luckily they seemed civilized enough, leading the young raven haired acrobat to believe that a simple exchange of words might better suit his efforts.
"What empire are you talking about and exactly whose kingdom is this supposed to be anyway?" Nightwing inquired with an arm crossed while gripping at the opposite bicep as it bent at the elbow to place his finger at his chin, only to tap it from time to time. Responding to a sub-conscious need to regulate he began to pace as he so often did in situations such as these that despite his best efforts he felt truthfully unprepared for. Were he to be distracted his scattered thoughts they would only clutter and add to his confusion. So as an acrobat and naturally energetic person, the constant motion helped him clear his mind, or at least he felt this was the case. Allowing him to better process information and articulate his concerns.
"I just want to know why I ended up being the one taken. I mean...out of everyone that I know. The people that I've worked with..." A hand combed his head from forehead to the end of his pony-tail in one swift motion. "why is it that I was taken when I still had so much more to do?"
