there's a lot jason could have expected, here. he expected bruce to tell him off. expected him to try and throw him off. tell him to shut up, do anything, but not this.
he doesn't expect the way bruce's jaw clenches. the way he talks about what joker did, the sentiment that so closely ties into the same shit jason had said all those years ago. the way he feels about joker. jason's jaw clenches, too, but significantly less like he's holding back anger--like he had been--and more like he's trying to fight back tears.
he had cried, holding a gun to joker's head. when he told bruce to choose: kill joker, or watch jason do it for him. felt even worse when bruce made his own option and slit jason's throat to get him off joker.
but he doesn't here. his voice gentles, betrays the weight of emotion behind it, just a little, )
I know. Trust me, I know. But you're not gonna get anywhere like this. Not anywhere good.
