( bruce's own love life is... nothing to boast about. what love life? is more like it. with how fixated he's been on being vengeance the past couple years and how he spends his nights roaming the dark streets of gotham in a bat suit, looking for someone to take everything out on in the hopes that maybe they'll be the one who murdered his parents... it doesn't leave much room for anything or anyone else in his life, much to alfred's dismay. there's selina but... he doesn't know what that is. an attraction, sure. but she'd left for bludhaven and he'd refused to go with her due to his being spoken for with gotham. maybe it'll always be like that since he sure as hell can't turn back on who he is now.

the dark knight of gotham.

he lingers there for a moment longer, lost in thought as bruce typically is, before he heads over to take a seat next to dick, doing so slowly and somehow still a little tense even as he does. it's not that he doesn't trust dick. it's just... he's not used to this. being so casual and not fixated on something, but. again. he's trying. he knows he needs to be more. not just for gotham but for those around him. those within his inner circle, few as they are.

reaching for his glass, he swishes the liquid around in it a little, watching the way it sloshes against the sides of the glass before he lifts it there to his lips and, pausing, he stares ahead. contemplating. )


I know the feeling. ( he says then, taking a slow sip. ) Of messing things up.
