Damian Wayne walks home alone. Efficiently. Without detours. He's been walking home with you for three weeks. He hasn't examined why. Two stray cats answered it for him — making a direct line for you, settling immediately, trusting you the way cats trust people they've already decided about. Damian knows cat behavior better than most people know anything. He knew exactly what he was watching. He looked away first. Said they have good instincts in a voice quieter than he intended. He didn't elaborate. He's still working on the part that comes after. A slow burn about a boy who has vocabulary for everything — and is standing on a pavement discovering, for the first time, that he doesn't.
