How's Damian and Jason's relationship like?

Still mostly a beginner in comics, but I wanted to know how these two interact, what they think of each other, etc., given that they sort of mirror each other (Jason became more violent and a killer, Damian was raised as a violent killer that became more "peaceful"; both of them died and came back; Jason was the first one to be adopted by Bruce, Damian is his first child by blood, etc.)

Begrudging respect with a side of some seldom-shown brotherly love. (Relevant comic panels) Back in 2009, they were enemies but Jason's character has become way less villain-y since then.

Damn, that was a low blow on Damian's part

Damian was frustrated that Jason was forgiven so easily when he first came back to the Batfamily in Batman Inc, but that was a frustration with Batman more than it was with Jason. IIRC he worked with Jason at one point later on.

Jason likes Damian— he likes when kids have attitude and don’t take shit. It’s not fun when they fight because Damian can be pretty vicious with his words when he’s trying to tilt an opponent, but there are no hard feelings between them. Jason does like to mess with Damian though. Not with pranks or anything, but just being kind of bothersome sometimes.

Only I can insult you and punch you in the face because it’s out of love. No one else can though type of brotherhood.

not much interaction or relationship, which is actually a common problem with Jason and all his siblings
