"I just like the sound of your voice." Harvey replied in the same dry as dust air, watching the man speak with an intensity that did not mix well with the sarcastic comment. A lot of the words were nothing he hadn't heard in that hospital after his fall, where the Batman and Gordon had hidden him away. But one word caught his attention. Balance. Symmetry. Wasn't that was justice was about? Never tipping the scale. Running blind.
"And how will you do that?" Harvey's tone was derisive but the sharp edge could not feign disinterest. A man cannot live two lives. They told him. We have to be fair, her voice whispered back. Chaos, cackled out like the crack of gasoline igniting. And now this man, liar - a part of his mind supplied, this man smiled and said 'balance.' And Harvey listened so that part of his mind condemning the liar would be drowned out.
