He's so proud. I don't know who he gets it from. No doubt that Talia al Ghul has carried herself with that same confidence before, but I come from no less impressive of a family, no less of a legacy, and this house is ultimately the one that Damian has chosen. I wonder now, just how much of a reflection Damian is of me, or how much of myself I should expect to find in those eyes. I worry for the childhood that he seems to have been robbed of, and at far younger of an age than mine was taken from me. If there is a sigh on my lips, it isn't aimed at him so much as it feels for Damian, and exhaustion passes over my features as I'm reminded again of Stephanie's words.
(It won't happen again. Damian isn't Jason. I should stop comparing the two.)
"Damian, I've been told that you worked admirably at Dick's side as Robin. And different though our styles may be, I know that the position isn't one that Dick takes lightly," I begin, watching and wondering if he'll sit. "However, I also haven't seen this progress for myself."
