The presence of the nurse meant that Wally couldn't talk too much beyond anything that would have been considered 'normal' for two patients that had just met each other, but to be honest, there wasn't a lot he could think to say in response to Bruce at the moment. Sure, he'd always known that his Bats trusted him - trusted him to do the job asked, to handle himself in a fight and not to screw things up too badly - but this was a Bats that didn't know him at all really, so hearing that from him... it meant a lot.

"...thanks," he said, and though he was still uncertain, his smile was genuine enough. "I'll keep that in mind."

He leant more on his crutch and began to follow the nurse as well, but paused when Bruce spoke again. The question was light and friendly despite the implications, so Wally smiled again, doing his best to seem like someone who'd just made friends with charismatic Bruce Wayne and hadn't just spent the last shift trying to figure out how the Batman had gotten here and how they were going to work together.

"I don't think we'll be having showers tomorrow," he said with a shrug. "Like I said, it's been nearly four days for me and this is the first chance I've had to get cleaned up. Might be better just to run into each other at lunch or something."

The mention of lunch got an insistent rumble from his stomach, so Wally gave a vague wave in Bruce's direction and set off for the cafeteria, where he was certain there would be a tray of hamburgers and hotdogs with his name on it somewhere.
