"It was meant to be social commentary on the wealthy, not personal complaint," Bruce says, with a faint smile that warms his voice just a touch. "Much of the Manor is very... public space, and my attachment to it is more as a legacy than a home, but that would be true no matter what sort of place it was."

Probably. He is very attached to the City. Gotham is his. Wayne Manor is something he is the inheritor and...caretaker of, in a sense. His father and mother's that he happens to live in.

"It's very similar to my relationship with the family fortune, actually." Similar sort of thing. Use it well, keep the companies and businesses intact, grow them where he can, but they don't feel like this. "It is no more strange to love Hell's Kitchen than it is to live Gotham. It might even be less strange, since you live there." He has no problem with any of that being overheard, if it is, though.

"Thank you. Hopefully someone will appear in front of us so they get a picture that's not largely composed of my ass - however good it looks in these pants."
