[location: outside Wayne Manor] tim and later bruce

The grounds outside the Manor were, of a necessity, different, and the boys set to exploring them the same way they had explored the house. At various times jogging, sometimes running, and then sometimes walking, they covered the area in a timely fashion, deep in conversation the entire time. Dick was still uneasy here, though he tried his best to put it from his mind. It wasn't something he felt like discussing, not even (or perhaps especially) with Tim. Like the fact he hadn't been able to sleep the night after the confrontation. He was ashamed of his reaction, but there wasn't much he could do about it, other than suck it up and at least pretend to be an adult about it.
