[ that actually wasn't what he was asking, honestly. he knew talia, and he knew ra's and the league, and that had been enough. if bruce had known about it, he never would have left damian with talia. he's been trained by the best; he can put together the facts on his own. hearing them out doesn't make him feel anything but a low, simmering anger.

so he doesn't quite react outwardly. that response, though...it kind of reminds him of artemis, a bit. it almost makes him smile. it's nostalgic. or maybe it's melancholy. ]

Alfred makes the best pancakes. [ it's what he starts off with, because it's what he actually wanted to know about damian. what kind of person he is. what kind of robin. ] But I said I wanted to know about you, not Talia, or Ra's, or the League. I'm not trying to vet you. B made you Robin. That's good enough for me.

[ so many of his friends have supervillain parents. it only stands to reason he'd have a brother with one ]
