Jason was in one of his safehouses cleaning a gun when he hears a ping. He puts down his tools and cleans his hands before checking his phone. Then he pauses when he read Dylan's text.

Right. He did tell younger Tim about Descendant having an attic safehouse. They last talked on April 27th when Jasons the fought each other and triggered younger Tim. It wasn't until afterwards that Jason realized what he had done. He's 0 for 2 on good encounters with younger Tim so far and the last one was such a disaster for everyone involved.

The worst part about it was Jason had talked to Dick and older Tim before the fight and knew young Tim had issues with hearing family members fighting each other. And yet, he still did what he did. What shitty brother he is.

He still doesn't know what to say or do with younger Tim yet and he's also been distracted by other issues that had come up during the deathday fight. It... hasn't been a good May for Jason so far.

After staring at the screen for several minutes, Jason finally types and sends a respond to Dylan:

If it's Tim, yeah. That's fine. I told him about the place and that he can drop by anytime. Let me know if you guys need anything

There. A straightforward response, he's still keeping his distance, and still leaving the metaphorical door open. Good enough for now, right?
