[He starts to open his mouth when the waitress comes over. He asks for a few more minutes for food orders, but does order a coffee for himself and lets the younger Dick order his own drink.]

Honestly? I think part of it was because we were such a good team. There wasn't any idea of B on his own any more. There was always the 'and Robin' tacked on at the end. And when it's been like that for nearly a decade...
[Assuming his double started around the same time Dick himself had. He might not have. Timelines were weird like that.]
[(He should know. He had vague memories of a few ways he'd come to be Robin. It was mostly the age that changed.)]
