which.
damian almost, almost doesn't do. dick apologizes, and damian's still exhausted, tired. he'd gone to barbara and argued with her, a loud one. fought with bruce even if damian hadn't originally - intended to. he'd been trying so hard with this one, this younger version of his father who--seems to be trying just as hard with damian as damian is with him. but he'd gotten upset, raised his voice, admitted to more than he'd planned on and now he's here, on the ground with grayson, after telling barbara to make sure he stayed far away from him. i'm so sorry i did that to you, he says, because dick knows the weight of surviving. )
No. ( whether it's a rejection of dick's apology, or denying what he did is unclear. damian goes from sitting there beside dick without struggling to shoving up onto the balls of his feet to try and take off at a run in moments flat. the manor is big enough, if he can just get far enough away there are countless places he can hide until grayson gives up. )
