He's watching Jason, carefully watching him, watching his body's reactions, the way his eyes shine. But he also watches him control it. He watches him say 'stop' and he can't help a quick burst of pride.
They're both good kids. There's hope yet.
"Like I said, Jason. He needs to start some relationships that don't have anything to do with Bruce. Which isn't to say that it can't be people he knows or people who know Bruce, but it can't be about Bruce. Right now, most of what he's doing is mustering forces and manipulating people towards his goals.
"Genuine relationships. Genuine activities. Part of his hatred for Bruce stems from a hatred of himself, so helping him with his self image wouldn't hurt. If he'll let you help him, try and help him remember the good things in life."
A sigh.
"He needs to remember what life is. He can't heal until his world is bigger than Bruce."
