"Sounds good!" Dick agreed with a grin "And if you don't, I will, I'll remind you it's your new birthday next year." he really meant it to, even if his tone was glib, he fully intended to mark his own personal little calendar with the date and remind himself to give her a good birthday next year. He only hoped he'd manage to stay out of the clutches of the computer for another year... or that they would all be home where they belonged and he wouldn't have to remember her birthday (though maybe he would, because she was a good friend to him and deserved to be remembered, even if they were split up by then).
"I..." he fell silent, contemplating. If Wally or his father showed up tomorrow, what would he do? His father, that was easy, he probably would act with more caution because he knew that was exactly what his father would expect, he wouldn't take offence or be confused, he'd know exactly what Dick was doing and why he was doing it, he'd probably be suspicious in turn - even if time had passed normally back at home and it tired up to how long Dick had been here, being this long in this place? Dick wouldn't blame his father for being cautious as to how it might have affected Dick. Wally, on the other hand... he didn't know.
"My dad I would probably be wary," he admitted, knowing how terrible it sounded but wanting to give her an honest answer "I mean, there's no way they'd get to him with mind control I bet, but he's trained me to be cautious, he'd understand. My best friend, Kid Flash, I'm not so sure about. I know I should be careful, but he's always been my closest friend, you know? He's... he's the only one of my friends who knows who I am and everything."
