Hal just smirked as she prolonged the moment to give him the answer he wanted. The rest could come later, her romantic entanglements were what was most important to discuss while sober.
As she explained the situation, he calmly sipped at his whiskey, but his eyes never strayed far from hers. "Alright," he said, fully convinced. "But if anything happens, tell me. I want to hear it from you, not Ollie or Di." That was the biggest problem Hal had with this relationship. It trapped him in the middle. No one would take sides in a relationship like this, but he hoped to be privy to important information from the source, not through a slip of the tongue while drinking or an annoyed rant.
Hal spared no time in finishing off his drink, but instead of going to refill it, he set it down and waited for her to do the same, be it now or later. "So now that you're out of school, what's the plan? Graduate from sidekick to hero finally?"
