I understand the value of working with others, and would never throw myself into a situation with unknown assailants without back up I can rely on.

( it's a dig at bruce - or at least a little bit of one. given how the man seems to prefer working alone and all.

damian turns off the stove, tips the pot over the mug he'd put one of the tea bags into, and pours it until it's almost full.

and then starts sifting around cabinets for the sugar. )
