Tim sips at the cocoa. He wants to pick apart everything Bart said. Argue that he knows Bart’s good enough to have pulled it off. Catalog an exhaustive list of the mistakes Tim made. Spin out the plans Joker could be enacting right now.
Even thinking about it makes the cocoa ripple in the mug. Tim sets the mug down quickly. “It’s really good, but it’s too hot.”
Saying nothing else is almost as bad as arguing, but it’s less tiring. He feels so wrung out. It’s enough of an acknowledgment that he’s here, right? If he listens and doesn’t respond to debate, then they’ll assume he’s capitulating.
