"Don't worry, I'll protect you from the clowns, I promise." Dick says, and while is tone is lightly teasing there's only a gentleness to it, a sort of underlying sincerity that, actually, Dick was more than willing to provide whatever distraction or support Jason might actually want if the clowns really are a problem.

"C'mon, it's this way." He adds, waving for Jason to follow as he heads down the street, it's only a couple of blocks to the park where the big top is set up, and there's already a few other groups - friends, families, other young couples - heading towards it as well. There are some performers on stilts entertaining the crowd while they enter and queue, but luckily none of them are clowns.
