Bruce nodded. It was agreement rather than 'giving in', because that was his intention all along. He could have gone the other direction, really, and there was some rational in that - giving Clark the opponent most likely to survive him if that went wrong - but Bruce was going the exact opposite.
He wasn't doing it thoughtlessly.
The people closest to him, and the most vulnerable, moving further outward to those that were more dangerous and bigger threats, requiring more power to be defeated. In the end, that was where Clark was going to have to be able to check himself. With people he cared nothing about, but required much, much more to stop than any human.
It was... acclimation.
He studied Clark for a moment, then blinked a few times and stood up.
"This will be good for me, too," he said, as he started to move. It would be. He was going to have to work harder than usual with no adrenaline response to speak of. He needed to learn to compensate.
