( he's up on his feet, dusting off his hands against his pants before carefully making his way through the map without stepping on any of his drawn lines. moves back towards bruce. )
You're different, but different isn't necessarily bad.
( quiet, he watches the way damian makes his way over. takes into consideration his words. then looks down to the swaddled bat again, holding her out to him. )
Goliath is aware of that. I would not have brought him here if I hadn't known he would have appreciated the opportunity to assist. He isn't mine, he is free to do as he pleases.
( one who deserves better than what damian has put him through, but he is not going to dig too deeply into that. instead, his attention turns to the map. )

I dislike Timothy, yet we have survived this long in the same space without committing too many atrocities against each other.
( or he'll throw dick out. he hasn't decided yet. tim can stay in his cottage. )

Planning to take her back to the manor with you?
no subject
( the map is done, his hands are mostly cleaned, so damian takes the bat back into his arms. cradles her like the baby she is. )
I will re-release her downstairs once she has healed.

Why draw it on the floor?
no subject
I felt like it.
( he needed a way to distract himself and so. this was it. )
no subject
( honestly, fair. damian has done the same. eyes focus down on the bat, whose eyes have closed. )
Do you want a smaller copy?
no subject
( because of course he won't. )
no subject
( later. when he isn't holding onto his bat friend. for now? he's going to nudge a shoulder against bruce, and start towards the elevator. )
Let's go home.
