Damian, standing by the fireplace: I'm sure you're wondering why I asked you all here today.
Damian: We are all in agreement that Stephanie should be part of this family. However, with both father and Stephanie strongly opposed to her being adopted, there's only one recourse open to us.
Damian: One of us will have to marry her.
Damian: Obviously I'm exempt due to my extreme youth, but the rest of you are either of marriageable age or close enough to at least get engaged.
Damian: Would anyone like to volunteer? Richard?
Dick: did you seriously call me away from a crime scene to ask me to marry my little brother's ex
Damian: I'll take that as a no. Duke?
Duke: well I'm not of marriageable age either and I like just met Steph so I feel kind of weird about this whole thing-
Damian: Understandable. Jason?
Jason: lol no
Damian: I don't know why I asked. Timothy?
Tim: Damian this is really weird for me too, she's my ex and we already decided we're better off as friends and I'm sure you mean it in like a marriage of convenience kind of way but it'd still be super uncomfortable for me to ask her something like that and-
Damian: Disappointing answer. Cassandra-
Cass, holding up her phone: oh I proposed while you guys were talking
Damian:
Dick:
Tim:
Cass: *phone beeps* she said yes. We shall have a spring wedding.
Damian: Excellent work Cassandra.
Cass: thank you

Not all of these are comprehensive and some slightly contradict others, but I find them all interesting and valuable discussions about Duke. If you don't know Duke at all or haven't read his comics, I recommend starting with the Character section!
I will be updating this whenever I find another meta so feel free to send any my way :).
