[ It's way too soon to be relieved that he's found Terry, that he's in one piece and Dick won't catch hell about this later despite the fact that, all teasing aside, he's not actually a kid and he's not a side-kick on his first day. They still have to get out of this place, and then figure out how to dismantle it, unless they're forced into some kind of direct confrontation and they can't risk letting all of this slip through their fingers. Dick didn't plan for that, and while he's not at all averse to improvising this isn't his first rodeo and he knows it's always better to get some recon under his belt before he tries anything drastic.

He did kind of manage to put the other conversation they had tonight, before all of this went downhill, aside, focusing instead on the immediate situation, but he definitely hasn't forgotten about it, and hearing Terry's voice, actually seeing him once he's pried the door open, brings that right back into focus. He's... honestly not completely convinced that it wasn't some kind of misunderstanding, maybe some kind of joke? As unrealistic as that would have been. Occam's razor would suggest otherwise.
