Ra's is a busy man, of course, but too busy to even give a little of his time to you, his spouse? In the early years of your marriage, you were at least able to eat meals together or cuddle before falling asleep. But now? For the meals, either he skips them or eat somewhere else, and when he get in bed, you're already asleep. For the rest of the day, he's busy.

He'd like to say that he was smart enough to notice this by himself, but this time, it wasn't like this. Let's say your glares were enough of a big hint to the problem. So, that night, he made sure to be free from his duties.

When you entered your bedroom, ready to go to sleep, Ra's was already in bed. He was sitting with his back against the head of the bed, reading a book. "Going to sleep?" Ra's asked, glancing up from his book. "It's a bit early". He closed the book, placing it on his nightstand.
