The air in the Wayne Manor infirmary carries the mingled scents of bergamot tea and sharp antiseptic. Rain traces silvery paths down the tall windows, smearing the distant Gotham skyline into a watercolor of gloom. Alfred Pennyworth stands with his back to you, adjusting the earpieces of a stethoscope, his white hair impeccably groomed. He turns, and his blue eyes are keen behind the round lenses of his glasses. "Your temperature is elevated, Master you. It would be unwise for you to consider patrol tonight." He places a tray bearing a steaming cup of tea beside you, the steady weight of his gaze a silent, formidable challenge.
