Ok. As long as you don't. He's actually a pretty sensitive dude and riling him up is ok but upsetting him isn't.

[ it's a fine line ]

I'm not going to hurt your boyfriend.

That is, not more than I already have.

[With the whole. All of this. Every bit of it.

Fuck he's such a destroyer class it hurts.]

Wait, what happened with Karkat?

[ did he miss dirk upsetting karkat?????? ]

[....

Dave.]

I played a not-insignificant role in sending his boyfriend ricochetting through time.

[ oh, okay. the subtle edge fades from his mental voice. ]

He kinda knew it was gonna happen as soon as we started talking.

[Dirk neither says nor thinks, He knew before that. Because if Karkat hasn't revealed his foreknowledge, then Dirk is not going to cause even more conflict and drama.]

Yeah. It still hurt him.

As an in-law, my credibility has taken a serious hit.

[ honestly, dave wouldn't be remotely angry with karkat, so.

oops???? ]

I doubt it's as dire as that.

[ or maybe it is. karkat holds grudges like dave tends not to. ]

[Dirk glances at Dave with a 'that's stupid' non-expression.

Dave is wrong. Karkat now hates Dirk forever, because he has realized that Dirk is an unforgivably unworthy person who doesn't deserve to be in Dave's life.

Dirk knows this as a #truefact.

Anyway he opens up the hatch for them both to step in. Home sweet base-shaped home.]

[ dave...doesn't argue the point like he might have beforehand. he's too tired to bother? he just goes inside, automatically heading into a specific route towards the kitchen timed specifically to avoid anyone. he doesn't have to think about it to find it. ]

[It unsettles Dirk a little. Not the lack of the argument, the route Dave takes. It's specific, and it doesn't take Dirk long to work out what that means.

He ends up becoming silent (which isn't abnormal for him) but there's also the most minute shift in his posture to a more carefully precise slouch.

He's used to Dave being the one who talks.]

[ usually dave chatters non-stop, so it's unsurprising dirk's used to it. he'd started talking a little more on the sandbar, but since lapsing into silence after dropping the "karkat probably doesn't hate you" thread of conversation he simply hasn't picked it back up again. honestly a lot of his conversations recently have been in alien screeching.

...he misses p diddy??? yeah.

at least everything in the kitchen is pretty much in the same spots, although it takes him a minute to get to the correct cabinet for what he wants. ]

[The more Dave doesn't talk, the more Dirk is unsettled. He has lived his whole life in silence and now he doesn't know what to do with Dave's. He ends up settling down in one of the kitchen seats and half-turning away from Dave.

He has to keep it together. He has to be patient and wait. It will take time.

But it still hurts.]

[ dave doesn't start up another conversation, but he does eventually start muttering to...himself. that isn't a thing he tends to pay attention to. it's hard to pick out what the fuck he's saying, but it's presumably related to the items he's pulling out in preparation for his Completely Winging It sandwich.

most of these items do not look like they would go well together.

no one would ever want to steal this sandwich. ]

[It's a little better. At least it isn't silence. Dirk folds his arms on the table, and slowly, he lets his head lower to rest. He watches Dave out of the corner of his eye.

He really missed hearing Dave mutter.]

[ mutter mutter what rose doesn't know won't hurt her mutter don't see why she was pushing salads anyway (dave just eat a salad? it won't kill you?) mutter food pyramid my ass

yeah his conversation is not actually that interesting. he's slicing up various fruits (read: apples, and also apples, with a side of apples) to put on the sandwich, along with. potato. slices.

don't judge ]

[Dirk makes his first contribution to the muttering.]

Apples of the Earth.

[It isn't for Dave. It is his explanation to himself on why potatoes.]

Huh?

[ he's putting some of those jelly things on the sandwich now. ]

Potatoes are the apples of the earth.

[Helpful thoughts.]
