"I don't always feel very grown up either, but sometimes it's for the best, right? We didn't form Young Justice because we wanted to be the new Justice League." His smile is a bit strained, thawing out as he hears himself say it and...remembers.
He's been doing too much on his own lately, trying to find himself without Bruce when he'd been someone without Bruce for years. Someone with his friends. "Are you okay, not recovering from them?"
