The crouching down makes sense β€” getting down on their level and all. It's funny to think he can pick up on these things while simultaneously not at the same time. Being this age again yet knowing what he does... it's a little difficult for him, just as it is for Dick, he's sure.

Which... Dick goes and says that to himβ€” something he hasn't yet experienced or been through, and it has him thinking of someone else who did that to him when his life fell apart. When he lost everything important to him.

"Like Alfred did." The words are soft and there's a sadness there in his eyes that he can't seem to hide, letting his gaze drop. "I don't make things better. I make them worse. For everyone around me. Even for all of you." Which is why he's been keeping his distance since coming here. Busying himself. Doing whatever he can to just not let himself do this again.

Not be hurt again because of how powerless he ends up being.
