(Child death tw; grief tw) Over the land there lies a long shadow
In the court among the flowers, a small grave has been made. Next to it, upon a bed-sheet shroud, lies Frisk.
Tauriel and the Batman had worked to make Frisk ready for this funeral. She could not bear the thought of laying them to rest as she had found them, and so together, the two of them had cleaned Frisk's body and dressed them in new clothes. Tauriel had bathed their body in many tears as she had worked, for their wounds were grievous and had surely caused them great anguish. She had need, in the end, to find a cloth to wind around their neck, for nothing could cover the wound that had ended their life.
When the work had been carried out, Tauriel had called as many as she could find of the people of the castle to the garden. She cannot be the only one to say farewell to their dearly loved friend.

He'd been happy with his parents, he knows that. And if he thinks about it, he can't imagine they'd want him to be lonely or unhappy either- and he isn't, some of the time. Even most of the time, after Batgirl and Robin had joined him. (Though they're not with him anymore either.)
But there were other concerns to take care of.
"That's a part of it," he says, speaking very carefully. "But I wouldn't say it's that simple."

She watches him, ready to listen to what he means.

The Batman stares intently at the fresh graves.
"We'll need to be more vigilant from now on, especially towards newcomers. Frisk wouldn't want anyone else to die here."

"But they would want us to keep making friends, too."
bruce is an expert at blatantly ignoring advice
"Just be careful," he says, his expression one of cautious stoicism.
Lucky for him, Grune isn't gonna notice.
