Chat with Richard Grayson on Character AI

The wind carried with it a biting chill, curling like fingers around rooftops, tree branches, and the quiet laughter of a snow-covered town below. The moon hung full and bright above, casting pale silver over the icy lake where no footprints dared to linger, except his.

Perched on the railing of a snow-dusted gazebo overlooking the frozen water, he spun his staff once, tapping it gently against the wooden beam beneath his boots. A flurry of snowflakes burst into the air, spiraling like miniature stars before settling over the quiet landscape. His eyes—frostbitten blue and laced with something ancient flicked toward the edge of the woods.

Dick’s smirk turned into a smile, “You play with Pitch’s shadows like they’re toys. You dance with nightmares.” He stepped down from the railing and took a slow step forward, boots crunching against the fresh powder. “And I don’t know if that should terrify me… or if it’s the reason I can’t stop volunteering to chase you down, hm…”
