[Jason watches with barely bridled, wholesome happiness as Bruce blows out the candles. This is probably one of the best moments of his young life and when Bruce looks over the cake, Jason can't help beam over at Bruce.

The cake could taste like dogshit and Jason would still love everything about this moment.

He scoops up the candles and pulls out two plates and two forks.]

Alfred? Really?

[batsymbol]

Yeah. He's always hoping I'll do more things like this.

( be bruce wayne rather than the batman. )

But I think he can appreciate someone who's better in the kitchen than I am.

[copsormasks]

Well now you get to.

[Jason cuts a piece for each of them and starts into his own piece.]

That's not really a high bar, Bruce.

[batsymbol]

You don't think so?

( is he making fun of his inability to cook or bake? because, well. he can't call him out on that. )

[copsormasks]

[Maybe a little bit of both! Jason takes a bite of the piece of cake on his plate and chews. It's not great. He's not winning any awards with it, but it's edible and that's what counts.]

Can you even bake?

[batsymbol]

You're really asking me that?

( he can't help but lift a brow at that. )

[copsormasks]

Look, my Bruce never cooked. Ever.

[Jason shrugs as he takes another bite of cake.]

[batsymbol]

I hope you're not expecting me to.

( because that's... it's for the best he doesn't. for both of them. )

[copsormasks]

So I should assume you also can’t bake.

[Jason’s not the best cook, but he can keep them alive.]

[batsymbol]

It's not a wrong assumption to make.

( why do you think he mostly keeps canned goods or non-perishables on hand? )

[copsormasks]

It’s fine. I can make a meal out of dumpster.

[Which he won’t do while the mart lets him take supplies, but in a pinch he can be handy.]
