[Yes, Damian's definitely angry. Yes, he's also doing what he can to help out, if not... directly Zatanna. But he wants this resolved, so he's doing what he can.]
[The next part makes him blink, disoriented, and actually straighten up. And grump, a little.]
It is awkward, this sudden.
[Only a little. Because that is noting to the change in Father. Plus, Damian being himself, he never showed anywhere before he had reasonable control of the grown body. He would not shame anyone. And the rest of the effects... he can handle them. Honest. It would probably be more difficult if he'd aged only half a decade, or less.]
[Damian himself has taken in the old man already. And knows there is pain, and that Father will never admit to it, not in front of him, not in words and not in motion, unless he really can't help it. So Damian will do them both the favor of not hovering, even if he may come close.]
[However, not bringing that up leaves a pause even more awkward than usual, in the conversation.]
