( extremely unhelpful advice, but he supposes he should have expected that from jon. not because jon is unhelpful, but because his father is significantly easier to deal with than damian's own. )
Alright.
( he says, even if damian's facial expression doesn't translate to anything close to alright. it's fine. he'll figure it out on his own later. for now? he's going to grab onto the blanket and roll himself into it. )
( he frowns at his friend’s reaction and wishes he could be more helpful, but. he’s not sure what else he would do aside from try and talk to them. although, again, his father is so much easier to deal with than damian’s. still, he feels bad with being helpless with this and so he remains crouched there. chin still resting on his arms. )
Do you have your bracelet on you?
( it’s a long shot but there’s a reason he’s asking. )
( jon's father is easier to handle. he's less - elusive. secretive, doesn't hide as much as damian's own father does. there are benefits to both sorts, he supposes, although damian wouldn't have any idea what to do with him if he had clark as a father. he's a soft man, and much too good for the world around them. much like jon himself is.
still.
damian hears the question, thinks about it for a moment before he does extend a wrist out from under the blanket and pushes his sleeve back to show the bracelet. )
( oh! he does wear it. well that's just... gosh. damian really is a big softie underneath. but ok! smile on his lips, he gets himself up. )
Hold on, I'll show you.
( to which he quickly — but quietly — darts his way over to his desk and rummages around through one of his drawers looking for... hah! got it! small light in hand, quiet footsteps take him back over to his friend and, like before, he crouches down, revealing the light in hand with a grin. )
Watch this.
( holding the light over damian's bracelet, it's a black light he has and, in shining it over the other's bracelet, he reveals the word best written on it. making sure damian gets a good look at it before it disappears when he pulls the light away, he shines it over his own bracelet — in reds, blues, and yellows naturally — and reveals the word friends written on it. he smiles, so proud of himself and how clever it is before he's looking back to damian, blue eyes pleased and hopeful. )
he isn't exactly expecting jon to pull out a black light, but it's - he's being jon and it's not bothersome to damian. he keeps his wrist held up long enough for jon to show him the secret hidden in plain sight. when jon moves his attention to his own wrist, damian drops his down so he can focus on jon's bracelet. )

Where did you find UV beads?

( dropping the light away, he grins a little. )
I took a lot of stuff from there. Mostly things I thought I could use here but some other stuff got mixed in with it, too.
( he may have just tossed a bunch of stuff in a box or two. oops. )
