Selina is currently in the kitchen, taking a bite of her toast. As he enters into the room, she looks up, curiously. The smile is a little smaller than it might have been before but she's still glad to see him.
"Morning," he says. Hey, that's speech. A definite step forward, for him. He heads directly for the coffee, stops, then detours to Selina to kiss the top of her head.
Chipper? He cants a glance behind him at her before opening the cupboard nearest the refrigerator. "Chipper, huh? Not sure how I feel about...damn it! How does he FIND them?"
Grumble.
The cupboard is closed with more firmness than required, the breadbox opened and a bagel removed. He sticks the bagel between his teeth and, as he closes the bagel bag he asks, "Whr wr ew lah nih?"
"You'll find none of those disgusting pastries there, sir," says Alfred, appearing with his blue-and-white-striped apron tied neatly in place about his person. "If you will be seated? Good morning, Miss Selina."
"Alfred. Here to save me from Bruce's attempts at cooking." Selina looks toward Bruce and finds herself a seat. "As for you, stop worrying so much. You know where I live."
Grunt. "Didn't say I was going to cook," Bruce remarks but gives Alfred command of the kitchen as is fitting. He flops onto a chair near Selina and props his stockinged feet on the kitchen table. "And I'm not worried."
Bruce puts the glass in the dishwasher and then turns his head to look sideways at Selina. "This is Gotham. He's a crimelord. Want to explain to me how he's more your problem? He's our problem. And in case you've forgotten, I don't like murders in this city, even when the son of a bitch has it coming to him."
Selina looks up at him for a few moments before looking at her fingers again, pressing her lips together. "He tortured my sister. He tortured her husband. He did it because of something I did. This is my own mistake and I have to fix it. I would appreciate your help but I don't know how you can."
"Other than hauling him in, because you don't want him sitting and simmering in jail. Let's review this, Selina. You don't want him in prison, you don't think he'll leave you alone until you're dead, and you're not planning to kill him. Just what option does that leave us?"
"I want to break him. I want to take everything he's ever had, including his reputation. I want him to never be able to do anything in Gotham ever again because he won't have any resources here." Of course, she's not so sure that it will work at all but it is all she has.
Other than that dying plan. Which seems problematic.
"If you've got anything else, I'd love to hear it."

She has a curious look on her face as he kisses her on the head. "You seem almost chipper."
