I don't want to disturb anyone. [ with only tim present, bruce turns his head. his eyes are dark. his tone is edged in a mild chastisement when he adds: ] You ought to sleep.
[ the hypocrisy doesn't occur to him or, more likely, he simply ignores it. he and sleep have a difficult relationship. bruce returns his attention to the necklace. stubbornness bordering on masochism keeps him fiddling with the necklace even as the hair on his arms stands on end.
he has to get used to it, the necklace, the memories latched onto it like parasites. there's no safe handy to put it out of mind. nor can he just hide it anywhere. it was his mother's. is. it doesn't feel like his. ]
