[ Ruling them out means that there’s some he’d rule in. Why did he respond so quickly? He didn’t - he shouldn’t have excluded them. It only highlights that he’s trying to hide. ]
I was counting on the decision being taken out of my hands soon.
[ Eventually, his body would simply give up. Willpower and caffeine can only take him so far. He would pass out, heal, possibly sleep. Whether it happened on the couch or in the barnyard really didn’t make a difference to him, as long as he didn’t have to be a willing participant.
He’s only admitting this because he’s working up to acquiescing. ]
I’ve been trying to get ahead of the research. Mapping possible locations that would draw him out. It’s harder here - nothing to constrain him to Gotham, different geography and places of interest. Plus, I’m stuck doing it all on my phone whenever I can get a signal, because I can’t search it on Bart’s wifi, so it’s more of a thought exercise…
[ This is more life than he’s shown during the whole conversation, and he quickly runs out of steam. Can’t lock his jaw from opening up in a gaping yawn. That drags on for three seconds.
Despite his protests, Tim would like someone to be there when he wakes up. To tell him he’s safe, and maybe keep him from jumping out a window to escape people that aren’t here. His friends will never be as reassuring as Alfred, but… they’re here. ]
You or Bart. Whoever was planning to do nothing today, just read or chill. If you both had plans, that’s fine. I’m fine.
