[ He replies confidently. Granted, he'd buy the milkshake anyway, but it was a good way to test the kid's skills without being as blatant as his younger brother.
Inside the Arcade was loud already with a crowd, Jason moved to buy them tickets, looking back to make sure Jon was still in sight. Realizing as he paid that he had promised to bring Jon here months ago.]
[ Jon sticks his tongue out at him as he starts scooping up the balls and tossing them into the rings. Because Jon rarely uses his powers in this capacity (and he doesn't believe in cheating), the score is not quite as high as one might expect. ]
[ Meanwhile, normally Jason has no issue at all cheating, or beating a child at a game. Generally just Damian however, but Jon's a good kid, so he purposely missed a shot or two to keep them closer to even. ]
Focus on it Jon, relax a bit more to. It's easier that way.
[ This seems like the opposite of fine, but Jon pulls his cap down to hide his face. He knows the drill. As they pull away, Jon tries not to look back in concern or guilt. ]
Don't worry about it, Jon, my best friend here is an alchemist. A clap and it's fixed, and if he says no, I have other ways of fixing things. We'll go back another day. So, milkshake?

I forgot how noisy it gets here.
no subject
Yep, that's half the charm. So what should we play first?
no subject
[ He has his priorities. ]
no subject
[ He shouldn't laugh but Jon's so different from Damian. It's kind of refreshing. ]
no subject
Highest score wins, right?

[ Two machines beside each other the counters reset as Jason grabs a couple balls himself before starting the game.]
Try and keep up!

[ Jon squints at the rings. It's a bit hard, finding that equilibrium he's meant to achieve. But he attempts to put less pressure on the balls.]
Hey, it's working!

[ Jason grinned for him, a little proud to see the kid seeming happy.]
Keep it up and you might get a milkshake.
no subject
Uh. Maybe not.
no subject
Come on, lets go play something else. This is fine, no big deal.
[ He's lying.]
no subject
I guess I can't come back here, huh?
no subject
Sure you can. Like I said, I'll handle it. Just a few months ago I got thrown out a window of my favorite place, I'm still allowed there to.

Okay.

[ He hadn't moved his hand off Jon's shoulder yet, but he's more worried the kid would think he was mad if he did. How does one handle a child? ]
So, any rules I need to know about for staying at your house? Or what i need to tell your social worker. I've never done this before.

Oh, and you have to call if you're gonna be late.
