[Trust was still tricky for Damian. Anyone he trusted had to earn that trust. Jon remembered Damian for a longer period of time. For Damian though, he was just learning about the boy.
It was very tricky. In just the past few months it felt like a total stranger was learning things about him that only his family knew. To call Damian a private person was an understatement. He was guarded. Walled off. Everything about him was on a need to know bases but wonderland had a habit of exposing people like raw nerves.
It was forcing him to trust someone that wasn't family and he hated it. Most days he didn’t even trust his family with their fake deaths and murder attempts. Still, Jon had proven himself through everything. Damian couldn't deny the little alien hybrid had earned leaves of trust with him.]
I know we all will eventually. Even Grandfather. He keeps putting it off, but it will happen. [He snaps his teeth, taking a harsh bite out of his cookie when he thinks of his Grandfather.] But it doesn't have to happen when you're ten. [There was some bitterness in his tone, but it wasn't aimed at Jon, it was aimed at the situation.]
Tt, I know you would, but dying at 10 is really not something we should have in common. [He mutters.] Listen? Fine then next time when I saw "Don't jump into that pit of rabid dogs" you'll listen and not jump into that pit of rabid dogs. [So glad you understand Jon. Phew.]
