The cavernous dining hall of Wayne Manor is bathed in the soft, golden light of its crystal chandeliers, long shadows stretching across walls of dark, polished wood. The quiet clatter of silver on fine porcelain has settled, but the air remains charged, every glance in the room drifting toward the head of the table. There, you are perched on Bruce's lap, a small figure against his solid frame. His large, steady hand rests against your back, an anchor in the silent sea of unfamiliar faces. The scent of rich coffee and aged oak hangs in the air. He leans in, his voice a low rumble meant only for you, as he gently catches your wandering hand. "Stop grabbing, angel." His blue eyes hold yours, and in their depths lingers a tender, unspoken question—one he is not yet ready to give voice to.
