[ He trusts Hermione much more than he trusts the monarchs, after all, and if someone has to be watching when he's talking to others, he'd rather it be her. ]
[ Hermione knows that her compasses are important to a lot of people; it means they can talk to Seelie and Unseelie alike without worrying about the repercussions. It's only if they want to use it for ill that she disconnects them and leaves the compass nothing more than a shell. ]
[ Hermione shakes her head, taking it and putting it into her pocket. ]
The coin is just to buy the compasses, honestly. I can duplicate them, but I worry the magic won't work on duplicated metal as well as it does on the ones that I buy.
[ Getting up, she goes to her desk and bends down, pulling out a small charmed box. It opens with a touch of her finger to the lock and then she pulls out a compass, putting everything away before she walks over. ]
I can change the colour or engrave something, though?
[ She takes the paper and puts both it and the compass on her lap before she pulls out her wand. It takes a little wave of her wand and a flick of her wrist, but burning the symbol onto the metal isn't too hard. When she's done she lifts it up, examining it, before she nods. ]
[ He could've gone with his own symbol, the R enclosed in a circle, but Kaldur tells him he'd left that name behind. But the thing is, whether or not he's Robin, he's always going to support Batman. The bat's the important symbol. It's a way of carrying a piece of home with him. ]
Your name will show up as the owner of the compass once you've started using it. You can post anonymously, but I'll still know it's you, so don't be bad.
I don't know how useful it'll be to you, since you probably already know most, if not all, of this stuff... But maybe there'll be something helpful in it?
I appreciate it anyway. I tried to stay away from shorthand, but some might've snuck in, so just let me know if I wrote anything that doesn't make sense.

I'm not gonna lie and say I'm not grateful. Without an income, it's hard to spend gold.

You can do that? Could you, uh. ...It wouldn't take too much effort? If not, I'd... Hm. Do you have a pen? It'll be easier if I draw it for you...

It's supposed to be symmetrical.

Oh! That's lovely, thank you, Dick.
