[ this time he will not bat dirk away, although he will also just kind of sit there fiddling with his communicator which he plans to set the music through? ]
[ he almost says promise? but the statement is as good as one. still. he doesn't just play the song. ]
The day the aliens came. [ he twists it off his wrist and hands it to dirk to decide if he'll hit play or not. COULD HAVE CHOSEN A SONG THAT DOESN'T REFERENCE, LIKE, THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN LIFE AND IS THEREFORE CONFUSING, DAVE, you could have done that.
so anyway that's why he's being a cagey asshole. of course "about that" comes back to one thing. ]
[Then it's what Dirk thought: about Bro. Dirk hits play to listen to the song. He doesn't know his Mountain Goats as well as he knows his P.O.S., but he holds Dave and he listens all the way through, no protest, no comment. Just keeping his brother close and listening.]
[ well if dirk doesn't say anything dave pretty much won't. he'll just have put shuffle through the artist on and pretty much will listen in quiet. he did Not want to listen to all of them alone even if all the songs couldn't possibly be about The Thing so even if this is a morbid way to spend time it's a thing he did actually feel like doing in a...non? destructive way? he's not sure if this qualifies as destructive or not.
anyway he's tired enough he'll zone out and fall asleep maybe half an hour in if his attention isn't brought to something else. ]
[Dirk will in fact not interrupt him. Dave said he didn't want to get into a discussion about it so Dirk keeps quiet and lets Dave go to sleep. He'll probably go to sleep too eventually.]
