[He doesn't know why just yet, but coming from a court of "liars" and "hidden snares" seems to be suited for the Darkling. Unlike the opposing thought of Bruce coming from a world of business not settling quite right, Bruce thinks this sounds quite fitting for his broodmate; perhaps it's something subtle floating between their interconnected minds, or perhaps it's the setting of their first meeting coloring his perspective, in the shadow of the night, isolated on the rooftop proper.

Though his lips are pressed into a slight frown, Bruce finds the words reasonable enough for now. To respect each other's privacy is not quite the same as privacy not being an issue at all; but the latter was a pipe dream, it seemed, and Bruce was quick to readjust his expectations to that of reality for now.]
