[He's grateful when Bruce doesn't pull away. He knows he took a big chance reaching out like that, but he can't help it. His anxiety is amplified a dozenfold. Maybe it came with being younger and smaller (and feeling powerless).]

I know. But maybe you could walk with me to a cafe? I'm kind of tired.

[He's not all that subtle at trying to manipulate Bruce whoops.]

[He snorts.]

Stick to the pitiful expressions, you're awful at psychology.

[But he relents, and guides the way.]

[He laughs, then starts at how high-pitched his voice has gotten.]

I hope we don't have to get used to this.

[He has faith that Zatanna will reverse this, but he's not sure how long that'll take. Days, weeks?]

You and me both, Dick.

[Also there's the fact that he has no idea what to do with a tiny bitty baby version of Dick. It's not like he can send him out on patrol. Dick has the knowledge and the experience, but at this age? Not the strength.]

[Dick wasn't lying about being tired: he's walking slowly for Bruce's benefit, but his feet are scraping the ground slightly, like someone tired from walking. Still, he's smiling.]

I've been looking out for the other people affected. Weird that it didn't do anything to the kedan.
