[ It's funny how it's just one word that doesn't mean much to anybody, it's just the circus, but to someone like Dick Grayson, when it's coming from a stranger - ]
[ Alfred isn't much proof. Plenty of people know about the Pennyworths and their work for the Wayne family if they're from Gotham. But the mention of a circus causes a reaction that's both childish and visceral, and he's immediately kicking himself inwardly for reacting at all. But it's still something so fresh in his mind. ]
[ Dick takes a step closer, his eyes narrowing from their moment of widening in shock. His hands (maybe foolishly) dip from their ready position at his utility belt, and when he speaks, he sounds very much like a 13-year-old boy, wary and confused. ]
