[ bruce bristles instinctively at the claim, expecting another jerome or ra's al ghul, but he doesn't fight the hand helping him out of the crowd and away. he may not like it, but he can protest once he's no longer in danger of being tied down on one of those.. things.
thankfully, the stranger releases him once they're out of the thick of the group, and bruce blinks at the smile and apology. .. oh. yes. of course he'd just been trying to help, and the way he'd done it even makes sense. bruce is a submissive. if a dominant 'owns' him, he can't be forced into situations like that without his dominant's consent. right?
he straightens at the stare, brushing the sleeves of his jacket down and offering a reserved smile in return. ]
Thank you. I'm afraid I was taken by surprise. [ the way the stranger's looking at him speaks of familiarity, but bruce isn't as surprised by that as he should be. if the older man is from gotham, he may have seen him in a newspaper or paparazzi photos. even so, he extends a hand politely. ] Bruce Wayne. And you are?
