[He'd let Damian have it, the fact that someone could know and understand him so well was something he had liked. But he knew Damian might well want that power space for something else.]
Thanks for letting me know, though. Once I've got my head on straight, if this is still our status quo, I'd love to explore it with you.
[ He says it with a quick huff, like it's bewildering David would even have to ask about it. Honestly, it's a novelty not to have to work in the shadows to snag a power, for that alone he'd ask.
He finally leans back, unlocking his arms from around him to give him a little push toward the food on the writing desk. ]
We can talk about that later. I can't imagine I'll be in any real rush to have it back while all of this plays out.
[ Just kidding, there's always a use for information, but he doesn't mind putting it off for a while. ]
[ Oh. Well. He has no complaints about that, and sets his hands lightly at David's hips to enjoy the kiss. He smiles a little as David finally makes toward the food, but ...
I find every day with you to be a wonder. What a hell of a sentence. Why, he would ask, if he weren't sure that would be the wrong question. It sounds like poetic nonsense, David can't actually mean it. Why would anyone? Even at his most feigned-charming, it's nothing that would apply to Damian. ]
You'd do the same.
[ That's safe enough, seeing as it's certainly true. What's a little easy power usage compared to taking a knife wound for a friend? He slides into one of the two seat at the desk, making himself quickly comfortable. ]
Mm, but you're welcome. You should know by now I'm happy to help if I can.
[Of course David would do the same. Of course, he knows he's a self-sacrificing person. He knows that he's a warm man who this comes to a bit easier. And he knows he's smiling to Damian as he uncovers his sandwich and soup.]
I would try. I would say my parents raised me that way, but who knows where it really comes from.

[Only then does he move away for the food. He really should eat.]
