knightbynightBruce isn't happy about the announcement that he's been paired off to Zerxus. It isn't personal; he wouldn't be happy about anyone having his file.
He's just... differently unhappy with this particular pairing. It would always feel like his privacy and autonomy were being stripped away, that he was being made exposed and vulnerable, losing agency and control. This case? It feels like the balance is being thrown and he's losing something else -- a friend, or at least someone who could have been one.
He doesn't seek the other man out when he is informed, but he doesn't avoid, either.
In fact, he parks himself on the deck railing with a cup of coffee and... waits (and, really, broods).
