He's limping towards Bruce. He's not actually hurt. He just figured out he gets extra pats and snacks if he limps.
“ Hm. “ It’s impulse to try to rack his brain if he’d taken Ace on a case to cause such a reaction. But he’s mostly been working on his own again during the last ones to prompt such an elaborate attempt to garner empathy. Smart dog this one. And Bruce knows better than to encourage it, its true but there is some respect for the animal nonetheless.
He’s walking along then, patting him once and just keeps going, fully expecting Ace to follow once he’s realized Bruce is going for the kitchen. Getting the box of treats from the shelf before he turned to face him.
“ I do not encourage this but we’ll definitely have to find a good way to make use of your acting skills in our next case. “ And throws a treat into the air for him to catch.
