Summary
When Hal accidentally causes Batman to break his favorite mug, it leads to an unexpected conversation where he discovers that Batman isn't quite as unshakable as he once thought.

"Why does this mug mean so much to you?" he asked at last, his curiosity getting the better of him. "Seems like it would be easier to replace it with another mug. Something more tasteful."He looked ready to punch Hal after that comment. His mug might not be pretty, in fact, it was quite a mess by most people's standards. After all, it was bright red, green, and yellow, with little bird-shaped doodles drawn across it. But it was his favorite. It was an ugly, cheery mug which Bruce cherished more than anything else at the Watchtower. No one knew why.
"I can't replace it," Bruce told him eventually. "Ever."

Bruce hesitated before revealing the truth. "My son made it for me."
