She feels like she is selling it short, but Master Splinter is sure to understand just because of the complicated picture she has been painting about her little brother. "I have nothing but faith in you, as well as him," she says, perhaps mostly for her benefit.
"It was... a transition. For the both of them," Barbara says, trying to be as diplomatic as she can about it, but her sad eyes betray a lot of the story. "He is living with me, for the time being," she says meaningfully. It is enough to understand that things aren't going well. Bruce is so busy, and Damian so... isolating. It is a vicious cycle, the two feeding into each other. It is why she demands meals with Dames, for some kind of structure in his life.
"I'll do everything I can to help, Master Splinter. I've got a lot of ways of getting intel," Barbara says, smirking for the briefest of moments. It fades, her eyebrows knitting together. "If I can let go of some of my worry... then you can, too. I'll help carry it," she says. "That's the point of all of this, isn't it? Being a safety net? Helping each other out?"
