Symptoms: Shaking hands, low energy, difficulty focusing, emotional demeanor (I mostly get rlly sad or irritated), difficulty speaking/forming sentences, migraines, nausea, and drowsiness to name a few.
When/Why?: Skipped meals, small meals, over exerted energy.
How to deal with it: Eat larger meals, eat more frequent meals, consume snacks/drinks with high amounts of sugar and letting it enter your system.
If Bruce will agree one day, Hal will blame it entirely on Arthur forcing him to watch animal documentaries with him.
If it ends up not being stupid at all, then Hal is taking all the credit.
He knows, logically, bringing home weird rocks from outer space has to be a recipe for disaster at some point.
Specifically: bringing weird space rocks to Gotham, of all places, full of freaks who might do something awful with outer space material.
But Bruce smiles so cutely when Hal offers him a "souveniers" from extended missions.
"I found this pretty rock 2 sectors down. A lot of blue occurs there naturally, unlike on Earth" — Hal, as he handed Bruce a small mineral that looked very much like the blue of his eyes
"They use this rock for throat medicine and the ring said it's okay for humans. The species that mastered its properties communicate by singing" — Hal, as he gave Bruce a pocket of rocks in teabags, because the last time he'd been on Earth, Bruce had a grated, broken voice
"This mineral can be used for paint, for Damian, or make up, for you.... n-not that you need it! But like, you know, hahaha you do make up and stuff..." — Hal, handing Bruce random dusty rocks, ducking away before he can mention he saw that billboard ad of Bruce Wayne with a cosmetic company
"I know you like studying this stuff. This cool rock literally works on good vibes." — Hal, giving Bruce a love pink rock that turns a curious blue shade when transferred to a wonderous man's hand
Hal isn't being a coward!
Hal is simply biding his time until the opportunity presents itself at a time when he is mentally prepared and resolute to take advantage of the chance to... act!
"So.... you're being a coward?"
"SHUT UP OLIVER, WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON!"
One day, Hal is sure he'll say it.
One day, Hal will tell Bruce that Arthur made him watch a documentary on penguins and penguins present their potential mates with pretty rocks as an act of courtship.
One day, Hal will tell Bruce he likes him.
Grown ass man that he is.

"Penguins court by giving each other rocks."
Bruce blinked, looking at Damian. "What?"
The boy, without looking away from the thinkboard of their latest investigation, rattled on:
"Some species of penguins present items necessary for survival but have some level of rarity, like pebbles, to their intended mates, so that to ascertain that they are interested in them and can take care of them well. Perhaps the Penguin is thinking to court the strained branches of the Minotaur's criminal network. What do you think, Father?"
"..."
"Father? You- Why are you suddenly very pink in the face?*
