Yes, of course.

( with a roll of his eyes, as he shoves his cheek down against bruce's shoulder. he recommended damian rest, this is clearly resting. )

I should trust them to look out for each other despite them all being idiots. I should just trust if I close my eyes for a moment, none of them will end up dead, despite numerous historical events proving elsewise.

[batsymbol]

Then I guess I should never close mine.

( because damian has ended up dead. as he'd been told. and now he has to live with knowing that. )

[brat]

I don't.

( not anymore. not now. with all of them somewhere else, with all the unknowns that come along with being displaced. he keeps his earpiece on him or close by in case of calls, keeps an eye on drake in the cottage he has been staying in, watches out for grayson. stays close to bruce, just in case. )

I'm not going anywhere.

( words he offers softly, that arm that had dropped away from damian, coming up to gently press against his back then. a silent reassurance to accompany his statement. )

I'm right here.

[brat]

You can't promise that.

( even if he is wrapping around damian and trying to be reassuring. he can't promise it, because, )

You'll do what Grayson did and sacrifice yourself trying to save others. You'll die, or you'll disappear, or get thrown back through time. You will hurt yourself repeatedly to avoid anyone else getting harmed. You'll leave if you think it will help. If your departure would lessen harm or risk for someone else. You already told me to go once.

[batsymbol]

I know. But I’m saying I’m right here. Right now. So you can rest.

( if even for a little while. because, contrary to what either of them might say or believe, they both need it. again, just for a little while. )

[brat]

( he wants to argue. but instead, damian just pulls in a deep breath, and lets it out slow. )

I'll try.
