"I've tried. I'm trying." For a moment, it breaks and all that exhaustion comes out. How hard it is to be the voice of reason and put aside all her past shit to deal with Bruce on a daily basis. Weathering Damian's crisis. She is being worn down to her peppy, optimistic bones, and it's only been a few days.
It only lasts for a moment though, and then she's offering Jason a humorless smile. "You vastly overestimate how much either of them will listen to anyone, especially me." Her expression sobers. "I won't let what happened to us happen to Damian. And I'm not doing it his way, I'll do it our way, which involves way less bullshit."
Now, she looks at him and smiles slightly, and this manages to have a bit of good cheer. A comfortable sense of conspiracy. Children never get along so well unless united by common cause. "So if you see him in danger of being attacked by plush clowns again, I rely on you to step in and save him. Keep up our respective ends."
