[ While Terry's feeling that out himself Dick's taking off his own mask, setting it aside next to the couch before turning back to get a good look at those eyes so he can gauge exactly how much of a concussion Terry might have going on here. It's almost too perfect of an excuse to reach out with a gloved hand, a gentle touch tipping just at Terry's chin, to draw his gaze. And honestly?
