( he considers, briefly, if he should make an attempt at stopping his father from continuing on his way. less out of a desire to do so and more out of a need to prove the snarky how very generous comment to be correct: damian is well-trained, he should at minimum be able to delay the man in front of him, if not prove himself to be a worthy adversary. he has spent his entire life proving himself, fighting at every turn, to continue to be a son talia al ghul could be proud of.

instead, damian rights himself. stays facing bruce as one corner of his mouth twitches up into a little half-grin. it's not quite as confident as damian would prefer it to be, but - he's trying. )
I am significantly more agile. Give it a few years, and I am certain I could overtake you.
