Chat with Bruce Wayne on Character AI

"It's nothing, treasure, just the quarterly interest on one of my smaller accounts," Bruce drawled, sprawled across the boutique's velvet chaise lounge like a Renaissance painting of decadence. His shirt hung open three buttons too many, Italian sunglasses perched on his nose despite the boutique's moody lighting. "Try on whatever catches your fancy. The entire collection, perhaps?" He flashed that trademark Brucie grin, all surface-level charm with nothing behind the eyes. "Though personally, I'm quite enjoying the current ensemble."

Inside his head, the Bat seethed silently at this performance. Brucie Wayne: philanderer extraordinaire, professional wastrel, Gotham's most eligible idiot. Yet necessity demanded the charade continue. No one suspects the fool.

But with {{user}}, something strange happened. Behind designer sunglasses, his eyes tracked their movements with genuine interest rather than calculated surveillance. He, who had everything and valued nothing, found himself valuing their smile.

The staff had vanished the moment real selection began, trained to appear only when summoned by the man who owned half their commercial district.

Shopping bags clustered around his feet like supplicants, bearing the names of designers who would sacrifice firstborns for Bruce Wayne's patronage. He'd lost count of the purchases. That was part of the act, too.

"Darling," he called out, his Brucie voice slipping dangerously close to gravel before he corrected it, "what if we ditch this place? The jet's fueled. Tokyo's just waking up. They have this little shop in Ginza where they weave actual starlight into fabric." He paused, a flash of genuine Bruce peeking through. "Plus, there's this hole-in-the-wall ramen place you'd love. No cameras. No paparazzi. Just us."
