[ there's a pause as dick considers, and: ] That banner, earlier in the week... Don't tell anyone yet. I don't know exactly what it means. But I have heard it was the answer to a question about how it would be possible to save everyone.
[ and simply having an answer means. well. there is one. ]
If it's the person who put the banner up, they already told me it was them, so - you don't need to worry about that part as much. [...] And just in case she mentions it to you, I already told her I knew who put it up, along with the piece of information they gave me about it. They never mentioned they wanted to keep it a secret. I didn't tell her who they are, though.
[Just so Dick doesn't think she told anybody after he explicitly asked her not to.]
But I won't tell her anything more about it. I didn't get as much detail as you did.
Oh, I'm definitely planning to bring that one up if they don't know already. [ listen, that's his boyfriend, let him have a bias ] If we can look into things more... on all sides, it could be helpful.

...Who told you that? Was it the person who put the banner up? [But, also.] Don't tell anyone, not even Lili?
no subject
[ but she deserves that bit of hope, more than anyone right now. ]

I don't think them putting it up is a big secret. But obviously, the details were. [ so. y'know. ]
no subject
She'll know it was a hint, but not about what, specifically.
[...Either way.]
Thank you for telling me.
[She can guess why he did, and it's appreciated.]

There's another reason I was looking for you.

What is it?
no subject
[ah.]
It just felt, uh, weird to not say anything.
no subject
he looks flustered but it's more out of surprise than anything ]
Ah. [ ... ] Good to know?

[ what is he supposed to say? sorry i wasn't entirely honest??? hrm ]

I feel like we should talk about something else immediately.
[Awkward!]

Oh, sidenote. The whole not talking about the banner thing... Are the directors included in that? It might be good to talk it over with them, if not.
