Dick chuckles a bit as he says it, because yeah, it would have to look kind of ridiculous from her perspective, but hey, when necessary supplies are held hostage by a molasses moat, what else can he do? Granted it's a very difficult solo project, though just the fact that she's wandered over to ask about it is enough to give him a much better shot at corralling one of them. He can't even tell what's inside it because of the sticky mess, but he'll pull it up regardless. They're usually useful things, with a few odd items scattered in that he can only assume were important to someone here.
As he stands, newly acquired cube in hand, he is trying to skim off some of the excess goop from his arms, now sticky up to his elbows, but there's only so much he's going to accomplish without some hot water at the very least.
"See?" He holds it up for her to inspect. "This is how we're supposed to get the items off of our lists. Two people have to touch it at the same time to active it."
