No, he wasn't an idiot at all. It's just... [ he licks his lips, trying to decide a way to put this that would make the most sense to someone who's never been exposed to other worlds or other realities. ]

I'm a demigod. Specifically speaking, my dad is Hades, and I can sense people's life auras. I ran into you one time when you were Nightwing and because I knew your aura already from being friends... It was the same. I didn't outright ask, and you didn't deny it. And I always kept it a secret, even from my boyfriend. Or my best friend. I never told anyone.

[ as he speaks his hands move, never stopping as he gestures nervously. maybe he should've kept his knowledge to himself, but it didn't seem right to hold someone else's secret without them knowing. he thinks of jason keeping his secret, being supportive, and decides he wants to be that for dick. after all, loki isn't here for them to end up hedging around each other. ]

I intend to keep it that way, of course. It's not my secret to tell, after all. And... if anything, I admire what you do. I can understand wanting to protect people but having to keep to the shadows.
