( while dick goes about doing what he needs to do to unmask, bruce gently looks over to tim with the pup, watching the way he handles her and how comfortable she seems to be with him.
and that's when he falls silent, as if unsure what else to say in the moment. tim had invited him over and he'd gone along with it, sure. but now he doesn't know if he's overstayed his welcome or if tim and dick have things they need to tend to around the place β schedules and whatever else.
so he stands there. quiet. and it's maybe in that moment where he truly does come off as a much younger bruce wayne. one who doesn't yet have the persona down when around others. )
