( there's a lot he could follow that up with. he could tell bruce that he's still new, that being batman is a lot. he could tell him that no one would expect their dead parents to approach them as zombies trying to rip their skin off. or tell bruce that, even when he's older, there are still things that fuck him up. could accentuate that they're a team because they all have weaknesses and strengths, and they work better together than apart. but jason also--he isn't part of that team anymore, is he? bruce kicked him out. tim said it's fine, bruce's forever is never forever, and jason knows that from experience but it was never as bad as the last time, and--it's complicated.

jason doesn't know what to say. he's not dick grayson, he can't give encouraging speeches or pick people up once they've fallen. jason leaves. he leaves because it's always his fault, and he always makes shit worse when he tries, so leaving is the only reasonable response. so he says nothing instead. puts the wrap up on the closest counter as he gets himself up to his feet. )

At worst it's a hairline fracture. ( his arm raises, and while it causes jason to grimace he doesn't reach a point where he can't move it. he curls in fingers, extends them out. ) Bandaging it is just gonna point it out as a weakness to take advantage of. I'm fine.

( but he does gesture towards his neck, while he moves to sift through the rest of bruce's shit. )

Sit down. I'm not gonna listen to Grayson bitch 'bout how I let you get an infection 'cause you're being stupid.

( dick probably wouldn't bitch. but he's as good of an excuse as any. )
