One last time. Seventy years later. It didn't take a genius to figure out the circumstances of that meeting, given that Steve definitely did not look seventy years older, and it was achingly bittersweet to think about with those memories fresh in his mind, but he manages a sort of smile and he's at least glad that Steve survived.
When Steve starts to recount what he experienced, it helps ground Dick a little bit, drawing up his own memories of the events as Steve speaks to remind himself who he is. He feels awkward that Steve witnessed his talk with Black Canary (since he's pretty sure that's the therapy session he must be talking about), but he has to concede that he saw a deeply personal aspect of Steve's life, it was only fair that Steve saw something similar. Despite that, it all seemed quite tame, the memory of the basketball game made him smile, but then... the accident. Somehow he wasn't surprised, and yet it still hit him like a brick, it always did. He nodded slowly, not quite trusting himself to speak for a moment.
