[ his expression darkens, back still turned. ]

That makes two of us. [ a slight glance over his shoulder. ] Everything alright?

[alreadywon]

- No.

[It's still really hard to say that, to tell the truth, but he forces it out because he's actively trying again instead of hiding in his room.] But I can't do anything about it here.

[ when he turns around, he sets a cup of black coffee in front of tim. ]

That is the dilemma, isn't it. [ he's in a similar situation, bud. ] You want to talk about it?

[alreadywon]

Not... really? [Blessed coffee. Tim takes hold of it and mostly just breathes in the steam for now.] Not right now, anyway. It's... complicated.

Hm. Alright, then. [ he opens up the box of donuts. ] Pick your poison, then.

[ bruce picks a plain one with just icing. ]

[You know what. You know what, Tim is taking the powdered jelly donut because someone has to be adventurous here. Jeez, dad.

Then he lifts it in the air like he's toasting with it, to Bruce.]
