He nodded his head, smiling a bit but of course it was hidden behind his helmet. He knew all too well how he felt. Sure Nightwing's responsibilities weren't exactly the same, but he still had a lot to balance.
"Don't worry, I know how you feel. And your predecessor seemed to make it work. I mean if you're not up to his level then that's something completely different."
He said nodding his head. He didn't know if that ploy would work, but it was worth a shot. Appealing to one's ego did usually work pretty well.

"Haha, I wish I could ever be up to that man's level. There's a reason he was considered the greatest lantern in the corps after all." He didn't feel he needed to prove himself to this guy, or anyone for this matter. And he didn't want to outdo his father's legacy, not by a long shot. All he wanted, was to help people, and find out what happened to his old man and mother along the way.
"Now was that all you wanted to talk to me about?" He asked, raising an eyebrow as he was genuinely curious.

"Trust me, I know what it's like to try and live up to a reputation. I'm trying to live up to Nightwing's reputation and that's tough. He was considered one of the best of all time, even among the hero and villain community which is saying something."
That was actually the answer he'd hoped he'd get. He'd known some Lanterns to be arrogant and this Lantern was anything but. He nodded his head as he apparently meant to leave and end the conversation.
"Tell ya what."
He said reaching into a gauntlet and grabbing a small communicator.
"This is a spare Avenger's communicator. If you need help, or if we do, or if you change your mind you can contact me or any Avenger on this. It fits perfectly right in your mask, very useful. Unless of course that's all light."

Ah, Nightwing. Pretty much the original sidekick turned full time hero, at least as far as he could think of. At least from the man's gesture, it seemed to be that this conversation was nearly over. However, just before things were completely wrapped up, Nightwing pulled out a small device.
"This is a spare Avenger's communicator. If you need help, or if we do, or if you change your mind you can contact me or any Avenger on this. It fits perfectly right in your mask, very useful. Unless of course that's all light." He already had the ring, which could that role just fine. But who knew, maybe he would need it when he was out of charge.
"Thanks, and it's only when it needs to be." He said in response, accepting the device, putting it in place.
"And I guess this is where we part ways for the day then. Hopefully we'll meet again under better circumstances." He said, wishing not every encounter he had with a fellow hero was through stopping some crooks. He then let his ring guide him upwards into the air, higher and higher, before disappearing in a stream of light that soared through the sky.
