Re: quicklog, gotham: wayne manor
[Someone needed to see this through. Someone needed to ensure what had to be done was done. Bruce didn't necessarily trust himself to do it, and he wasn't sure he trusted anyone else. Not right now. But Alfred, Alfred could. He would. He wouldn't let sentimentality get in the way. Damian's body needed to be burned, cremated, the ashes kept somewhere Ra's Al Ghul could never get his hands on them.
No one's word meant more to him than Alfred's, and so when the man made his promise Bruce visibly calmed.] Good. Good. [Slowly, slowly, he let go, and he sat back.] It's for the best. We have to burn him. [The words were spoken more to himself than to Alfred. He didn't care what anyone else had to say, he wasn't going to risk his son being put in that godforsaken Pit.]
