"My expectations of you, Selina, are quite simple. That you have a very happy time with my friend, and that you both bring each other a little peace and happiness. And that he sleeps well." His eyes appeared to twinkle as his expression turned amused.
He caught the change in her expression, her voice, and ... oh dear. "No, no," he said quickly, "What I meant was ... He's never had troubles talking about going after villains and crooks. He'll talk at length about battle tactics and ways to make his cars better. Along with plans for new suits. When it comes to talking shop, he's almost chatty."
"When it came to any of his relationships? He wasn't. In fact, he sort of shut down about it. Maybe it was his way of keeping someone he cared about safe, or the something else, I really don't know. It just seemed strange at the time because he could talk about putting Harley Quinn away or Poison Ivy, or that woman in the aviator getup, but Catwoman ... he just didn't talk about." He lifted a shoulder. "Later it finally clicked home that the reason why he couldn't talk about Catwoman was because there was something more there."
He nodded, slowly. "A puzzle very much describes the person that is Batman and Bruce."
