Steph gives a one shouldered shrug, her expression wry, "Some people get annoyed when we keep secrets like this."

Her own experience was kind of the opposite - in the fact that she knew Robin but not the boy behind that, and the stress in their relationship often came from that. Steph's never been close enough to anyone who wasn't a vigilante to worry about, and her mom was only angry because she was worried Steph would get hurt.

"I'm glad you aren't. You should talk to her about this, though. I don't have to tell her who this was initially given to, but she should know that you know."

That sentence got away from her a little.
