John shrugs casually when his idea is discarded; he was just spit-balling, and obviously Riddler's got a far better read on things than he does.
"You guys being, well.... you guys, I probably couldn't think of anything you didn't come up with first... probably," that is to say he's not going to quit puzzling about it. He wants to help. It's almost, almost like he needs to.
A briefly disgusted wince crosses his face in a mirror of Riddler's distaste, because yeah, feelings. A long sigh deflates him and he melts backwards like a liquid until he catches himself on his elbows. His head rolls back with a frustrated, petulant groan and he mutters "I hate waiting." As though to say it's something Riddler and Eddie ( and thus John, vicariously ) are all going to have to endure.
"Unless you got some genius plan? And, hey-- it's probably a good sign that he's willing to see you again, right? And what'dya mean 'spoken for'?" because who doesn't entertain multiple trains of thought at once? Certainly not this guy.
