Real World Days are always more draining to Bruce than even getting the shit kicked out of him. Even the tedium of shuffling chess pieces at Wayne Enterprises is preferable. But they're necessary, and when it's finally done - contractors cleared out, papers signed, paint samples decided on, permits paid for - the lake house is quiet, even though it does feel a little scuffed thanks to the unusual intrusion. He'd been very tempted to hold all these hand-off meetings in the city, but in the end, doing so would have been wildly impractical.
So. Leaning against the kitchen counter and staring out at the expanse of land between the lake and the manor - just a smudge over a tree line when it's clear - Bruce has a mug of coffee, a glass of scotch, and his cell phone.
He holds out the scotch bottle, eyebrows quirked. Or coffee, he could pick that, too.
"Enjoy exploring?"
It's been a long day. He's sorry he couldn't spend more of it with Clark, but if either of them held grudges about time being infringed upon by a thousand different kinds of outside demands, this'd never work.
