[In answer, Bruce opens the fridge and tosses a bag of strange vegetables needing to be chopped up at Damian. Animal protein is quite a bit more rare here than it would be back home, and he generally abstains. But hey, steak sounds like it's a good idea today, and he pulls a package out of the fridge.]
I'd never truly learned how, before Alfred left for England shortly after the incident with Bane and Azrael.
[He remembers standing helplessly in a room filling up with soap suds from the laundry machine and having a phone cradled against his shoulder (he'd been talking to Barbara at the time) while he was trying to figure out just what he was supposed to be doing with the mess he'd made.
He was one of the world's smartest men, but household chores were quite beyond his ken. At least back then.
But he'd learned.
Alfred wasn't going to be around forever. That had only... driven the point home. Bruce would never care to devote significant amounts of time to domesticity, but at least he doesn't overfill the washing machine any more, and he can make more than tar-black coffee.]
