Roman Finds Jonathan Okay - Tumblr Posts
Is it weird that I think you and Doctor Crane would be good together?
“Good together as what? You might wanna elaborate on questions like this a little more in future else somebody might get the wrong idea about what you’re actually asking, get the wrong impression even....” Roman replied, though his tone of voice suggested he wasn’t angry about the question. If anything he sounded intrigued, head tilted to one side in a contemplative gesture as he thought about the aforementioned psychiatrist. Arkham Asylum was a place he’d detested being, as did most if not all the inmates incarcerated there but Doctor Crane had been highly unusual, both as a person and the fact he was one of the few members of staff Roman hadn’t immediately wanted to kill or flay to within an inch of his miserable life. No, the good doctor’s presence had been tolerable - better than his last psychiatrist by far who’d tried digging a little too deep into his past and refused to leave certain subjects be. Crane had been like a breath of fresh air after that, chilly air as brisk and unfriendly as winter but he’d take the man’s frankness over his co-worker’s fake smiles and feigned acts of caring. "Doctor Crane’s a clever man but I don’t have much use for a therapist when I’m not locked up in that shithole. I’d take him over his shit-for-brains colleagues anyday, which is funny considering some of the things I’ve heard during my time there. Whispers get around, you know how it goes. Anyways, I don’t hate the guy if that’s what you’re asking. If he were here right now, I’d probably treat him to a drink or two. Maybe three, I bet he’s got a lot of interesting stories to tell after his time working there...” It wasn’t a good look after their doctor-patient relationship had been so professional, but Roman had never given a damn about that and he doubted Crane cared much either. A job was a job at the end of the day; it paid the bills and kept your mind busy, both of which were necessary when living in a city like Gotham. ”Not that I treat other guys to drinks very often but for him, I’d make an exception.” @arkhampsychiatrist
