the pianist understands the billionaire's concern , especially now knowing that his ex has decided to settle in gotham , working as a server of all things. tonight was meant to be just another gala with the opera & it's patrons , but of course his past had to come back to haunt him , a hand off of champagne turning into pure disgust the moment he locks eyes with brad harper. the man doesn't scare him , not after all those years working to better himself , but it is strange to see him appear after what feels like an eternity since they last spoke. well , fight is probably a better word for it. bruce keeps his cool , looks almost unbothered by the situation , but mason knows better ━━ he knows he's probably close to letting the batman persona steer his actions.
❝ i'll be fine. he can't really do anything in public with us here. ❞ mason offers bruce a smile , a hand gently patting his arm in an attempt to console & reassure him. ❝ i do gotta mingle with some of the patrons here , but you're welcome to join me if you're so worried. ❞ his smile turns catlike , maybe a little mischievous too. ❝ are you . . . entering overprotective boyfriend territory right now ? out in public , even ? ❞
