( moving to stand, he looks to kyle and pockets one hand while letting the other gently clap down on the man's shoulder again. as before, reassuring in its touch. )

Whatever you need, we're here. Literally just a couple floors down and I'm sure Bear would always be happy to provide... puppy company.

Is he a therapy dog now?

He likes people and he spent a number of weeks with you.

( when bruce was in the past... and ran away from diana to vegas. ugh, jason. )

You assume Jason knows how to share.

[ between the dog and kyle, he's pretty sure the dog was the favourite. ]

Guess it's your turn now.

Guess so.

I don't need therapy, you know.

[ a pause. ]

I don't think.

Wasn't judging you.

( as if he has any place to. )

[ he waves this off. ]

I know.

[ a wry smile. ]

We judge ourselves the harshest.

Kind of like right now.

( with kyle being so hard on himself. )

It's a common trait. We all go through it.

Just remember you don't have to go through it alone. Not entirely at least.

Don't worry. I won't forget.

( a nod, there's a faint smile on his lips. meant to be reassuring more than anything else. )

I'm sure Diana won't let you forget.

And neither will you.

I know. I'm not trying to be ungrateful, I'm just — I'm here. And I'm not. It's . . . hard.

That's why you're here. So you don't have to weather it alone.

I'll try.

I always try.

I know you will.

( a slow nod. a glance around the... coffee shop. )

You need anything, you know where to find me.

( the first floor. mostly. )

Yeah, no worries.
