Bruce just wanted to go down to the Cave and get some actual work done, instead of coaxing a small, angry boy out of a tree as if he was a prickly cat.
He was tempted to turn around and leave him there, waiting Jason out until he got bored, but while such a tactic might work on Dick (had, even, on several notable occasions), Jason often behaved as though built from spite and would quite literally stay in the tree all night and make himself sick and then give Bruce dark, accusing looks for a solid week afterward.
It was not the first time that Jason had held himself hostage in a tree.
