[Easy for you to say, you who turned away from the world. It's a bitter thing, it curls in his heart and closes its eyes again. He understands, and she hasn't even lived through it. Might not at all. ]
It's not about protection. You're a different person.
[ The truths he knows of the Diana to come don't apply to her. She smiles more openly, she's willing to be physically affectionate, there's a joy to her that's not yet tempered by the century of horrors. And in turn there is a softness about him she's claimed that is not so freely given to the one he knew before he arrived in this place. ]
Do you really want to know about a future you might not see?
[ It's him who lives in those possibilities, not her, not usually. ]
[ The base components are the same. Diana cares, Diana fights. And — she'd become part of his life. This him — he'd have returned to a lonely place without her. It's love of its own kind — kinetic, magnetic. There's no other weakness like it. ]
I assure you, I am not partial to feeling like it would be necessary with those closest to me.
( honestly, it's not likely Diana will ever use it on Bruce without permission. that doesn't mean she favors feeling there's secrets between them, but there's only so much she can do.
he will tell when he is ready. and in the meantime, she can do little but wait. )
I will see you soon. ( which means she's calling an end to the conversation, for now. they are at an impasse. )

( he must have believed that deep down, they weren't so different. Diana wants to believe that is true herself. )
If there are things you believe I should know, do not wait months to tell me. Of my future, our future, or anything else.

If you want to know, ask me, and I'll tell you.

( full name... been awhile since he got that...... )
Your heart knows what truths ought be told. Listen to it.

[ The reply takes time. It's not that she asked for something impossible, it's that actively doing it is.. a little frustrating. ]
I'll let you know.
I'm not partial to that lasso of yours.
