( he's not confident as bruce wayne yet. billionaire prince of gotham. batman is where he feels comfortable. where he feels more himself. something something bruce wayne died years ago in crime alley when his parents were murdered, but. there is some truth to that line of thinking β to that claim he makes inside his head to himself.
yet, even so, he's here. bruce, that is. because damian said he needed him here.
like damian, he's not in the suit and so there's no grease paint smeared across his eyes for others to gawk at. instead, he's dressed down. all in black because... what other colours are there? going over every face in his head that damian sketched out for him β people damian knows. trusts. considers his family. a thought bruce is still trying to process.
he's sitting in an armchair. glances down when he sees titus there. turning a closed fist over, he reveals the treats he'd been holding there in his palm and offers them to the dog who happily accepts. at the inkling of either someone's gaze on him or presence nearby, he looks over through strands of hair having fallen in front of his face before he looks back down to titus. )
