The faintest blush spread onto Tim's cheeks, but there was every chance that Jason's supernatural senses would be able to tell despite his calm face how much he liked being complimented about what he'd accomplished with the league. Getting praise from the second Robin--deep down, it still felt really good, despite their differences.
When Jason rolled his eyes, Tim laughed. "Guess I was lucky you chose not to hunt me, then." He didn't point out that, in fact, Jason had chosen to save his life when he had no real reason to. Tim had stalked him in a hopes of decapacitating the wolf. It only would have been fair for that same wolf to watch him bleed out in the forest floor. But he didn't. "We could get you far enough away, if you wanted." The offer was said without Tim's usual level of forethought. All he had considered was that there were plenty of wild places far enough from humans if they did some significant traveling, and Tim was in a position to help with that. He knew Jason was capable of getting himself that if he really wanted to, but... Tim just felt the need to offer anyway.
The questions turned to him and Tim's lips twitched as he took a moment to think about his experience trying out magic for the first time. "It didn't. It felt warm, but it didn't hurt." His eyes traveled to the grimoire still sitting open. "My mother left a hand written note in the book that my own magic couldn't hurt me. I could burn out, yes, but the magic itself suddenly turn on me and cause harm even if I tried. I wonder if that's part of it." Maybe that was innate in magic, or maybe that had something to do with the wards Janet had left on him. Tim hadn't figured that part out yet. He'd done of research on his own powers, but not on the powers of others. That could wait until later.
