The silence that follows only makes Donnie tense again, waiting for a scolding, anything really, than what actually does come. He lifts his head, blinking at Red Hood, not that either can see the expressions behind the other's mask.

'Sick and tired' sounds a little harsh to him, but that's...basically what it boils down to. It's not his brother that Donnie's mad at, but the lack of knowing where exactly his frustration should be directed, where it's even sourced, that's been eating at him, and Leo just served as a constant reminder for what had happened, what could have happened.

"...yeah," he says with a heavy sigh. "I still should have said something. I...I used you as an excuse." An escape.
