He'd never voice most of that. Ever. To anyone. Some of it, maybe, to Bruce or Kyle or the other Dick, but not all.
This Dick is not his... and, at the beginning, he couldn't believe that a person could change so much, with only time to go between point A and B. But, at the same time, it's still Grayson, and he knows that beyond the shadow of doubt. As such, Damian is willing to do a lot for him. Almost anything, really. Even the hard stuff - actually, since it's GRAYSON, especially the hard stuff. He'd protect him as much as he's capable, and so the current thing with Zatanna will make him furious. In a way, Damian doesn't quite accept this Dick as older than himself. Oops. Hence overprotective.
And, for all that Damian still acts - in company - a lot like he did when he first showed up, time around Dick has changed him. He might actually withhold scathing comments sometimes, because he knows it's somebody Dick finds important. Or give them slightly more time before he dismisses them as stupid or inconsequential, because Dick values them. Sometimes, he wonders what it would be like, to be able to. Make people better, the way that Dick can. And he certainly holds himself responsible for not being able to do it.
And he's watching, usually watching, in as many ways as he can.
Stupid place that's breaking his stupid little big brother. (nottalking)
