He can't imagine what it must be like in Phil's head right now, but he's glad they're getting this out of the way now. He hadn't meant exactly to leave Clint the awkward parts, but he still feels like it almost isn't his place to talk to Phil about anything romantic. Surely that would be less awkward for Phil if it comes from Clint, right? Especially if he doesn't know what he and Bruce had.
At the missing eye thing, Bruce shoots Clint a look. It's a good look, a well-practiced Really? He'll have to straighten that point out, but there are more pressing matters right now, like... how Phil will take the news of the three of them together, if he remembers Arkham after all. His eyes land on Phil's and Clint's coming together, but then he feels Phil's eyes on him and looks up, throwing on a quick reassuring smile.
At least, it's a quick, almost-nothing of a smile until Phil says that, and Bruce's eyes widen. His pulse doesn't pick up in excitement due to years of practice suppressing those kinds of things, but that's the point he's at. Not even because he might get Phil back, but just to know there's someone else out there who remembers.
"Kenzi. Her name was Kenzi. You two were close -- well, she was pretty close to all of us. She was..." How to describe Kenzi? "Unique. Energetic." Thinking about her has his excited shock fading away to something more nostalgic, and he smiles softly. "She called you Philliam. And Philociraptor."

God, he misses her.
