Once they're away from the school, he rolls his eyes at Grayson's acrobatic antics, muttering 'showoff' under his breath. Some things really never changed.]
Obviously. We are the superior 'dynamic duo' after all. [He grins at Grayson, challenge in his eyes. The words are less about claiming superiority to Father and Grayson's partnership than they are about reassuring the boy that they are indeed a team capable of greatness.]
Of course it's only a matter of years before you see that for yourself. [Because if he honestly thought that he was going to get away entirely without Damian calling him out on his doubt that they'd meet again, he was very wrong.]
