"I'll be sure to tell Alfred he is in good company."
Over protection came from a place of care. Bruce could accept that. But like more of his life these days, he put it away for later. Something to acknowledge but not something to he held in totally high priority. It wasn't personal; Bruce just had a lot on his mind and a lot on his plate. It was easier to stay focused when he put the non essentials aside.
His watch chimes, alerting him that it was nearly time to head out on patrol. He raises Robin and tells him the plan for the evening. None of it involved him. He would solo patrol and Robin would stay at Panessa. Robin protested, but Bruce would not hear it. He's a bit abrupt when he cuts the communication with Tim. With an apologetic half smile at Steve, he turns and makes his way to another part of the cave.
Steve's a pretty... steady guy. He has a temper, but he's got a pretty long fuse and he's in no way short. It takes a lot for him to take most things personally, and interestingly enough it would take a lot more from Bruce.
He listens to the exchange with Tim, head tilted slightly at both the tone of voices and the decision itself. Does not comment at all, just waits it out just like the chime.
This is a very sit back, watch the dynamics, learn from them and also stay out of direct interference in them scenario. He does at least and go sit in a chair. "All right. I'll be here when you get in." With Alfred, apparently. "Try to come back in one piece."

"Time to get dressed."
