[It takes a moment to stifle the immediate laughter that bubbled up. Some of it did come out, but Dick's pretty sure he gets it under control fairly quickly.]
He blames me for plenty. A lot of it my fault. He doesn't blame YOU for it, though, which he shouldn't.
[He sits back as the coffee and orange juice arrive. There's even a bowl of water for Haley, which Dick appreciates.]
[He ends up ordering a double cheeseburger and fries. The patrolling always helps with any excess calories. Then he waits before continuing.]
And you're absolutely right. Robin wasn't his to give away. And it made me very angry for a very long time. And Jay ended up getting part of that because of things he couldn't control.
[He's not proud of how he reacted to that. But he hadn't had warning or choice in the matter. Dickie is right in that he'd handle it better if he could be in on the choice.]
