one (1) dove baek thought before i go do stuff.

at first when dove was stealing it was a necessity yknow? they took food and clothes sometimes and it was always something they needed to survive and they never tried to take more than they needed (unless they were helping out another kid). but when they're older and they're at the foster home where they'd like during their senior year of high school (in my heart they're still in contact with their foster parents and they were the only people who dove would've been okay with staying forever with. i have more thoughts to come later) stealing stopped being for necessity and they mostly stopped doing it but. at some point they started stealing things just because they could? it wasn't a bad problem per say but it did get them in trouble a couple times.

the most important one – and the one that got them to stop – was when dick caught them shoplifting and he wasn't even going to arrest them he was just gonna talk but they. well. they messed that up. but getting arrested and having to go to a group for people w kleptomania honestly helped a lot. bc while they Weren't like that. it helped put things into perspective
