( so she knows. it's smart of grayson to have shared it with her. they're living together, cohabitating, and he knows well that damian will not let what happened slide. that he would come by and confront barbara about what happened, and inform her of it to ensure it never happened again. not that damian expects this to help any, really, but it's just -
he has to do something. she watches him closely, and damian returns the look with one of his own. the domino mask hides his eyes, hides how emotionally exhausted he is behind it because it leaves only his mouth visible, and damian - is great at hiding his emotions behind a scowl. )
It cannot happen again. ( his words are quiet but stern. damian doesn't sit but stays standing just across from barbara. sitting on the couch beside her would be too close, kneeling on the ground would put him too low; this feels like as close of a decent alternative as he's going to get, currently. ) I understand you two have rebuilt your. . . courtship. ( the word sounds sour, but that's more damian being damian than anything else. gross. ) As his partner, keeping watch over him is your duty.
( especially given damian now intends to avoid him forever to stop anything like that from happening again. )
