Bruce is more than willing to wait out the tension. He would be regardless, but the fact that it's just tension and it doesn't last particularly long is information that is useful, if only on a personal level.
He does, in fact, keep Zerxus from getting too close to anything potentially dangerous, and doesn't rush their walk. It's interesting to watch Zerxus seeing the place. It's long since been nothing more than background to him, nearly invisible and irrelevant. The change in perspective mostly means he notices more. He has very little basis for comparison to anything else, but even simply noticing more leads to speculation and curiosity about what the Manor looked like when it was a family home - to humans - rather than his home.
He blinks exactly once at the remark. "Why has that only now occurred to you, and what standard of coverage do you want?" Don't ask him, he'll leave you wearing a silk robe, bow tie and thong, and think he's funny.
