I have.

[And then hated himself more for it? He is so good at this. He's pretty sure he's turned self-loathing into a labyrinthine construction that Daedalus would weep to see.

But. He raises his head from its happy grave on Dave's shoulder. The slightest quirk of a brow suggests something like a smile.]

I was joking, Dave. Not entirely, since our social skills probably do more or less come down to our upbringings and how they affected whatever latent genetic aptitudes we had, so in a technical sense what I said was true. And also, John's fault. [For as long as he can't defend himself.]

But I think you're pretty fucking incredible when it comes to interacting with people, and I don't think that has anything at all to do with any iteration of me. You're the sort of person that others can get comfortable with.

Awkward mouth words and all.

It helps if you're willin' to like, own up to the stupid shit you say I guess?

[ and also being supremely easygoing about most things helps. dave is probably occasionally too easygoing (stop letting crazy girls dictate your life, dave) but when he's not bothering to be a dick he's too laid back to really. not get along with most people...

even when he's being a little shit he sometimes accidentally gets on with people. he has mostly been trolling korosensei and yet they seem to be basically getting along. oops. ]

But uh, thanks? You're good at shit I'm not good at though so. Shrug?

[ did he just say shrug out loud. while not shrugging. of fucking course he did. ]

You might want to try acting out the motions you vocalize.

[He means it fondly. Competency isn't exactly what Dirk is talking about here, but he'll let it slide. In fact, he'll even offer his fist for a bump.]

So we're good to go? Because unlike the Lalonde half of our clan, I'm not that big on staying too near to the Void.

[parodeity]

[ the fist bump is of course immediately secured. ]

Yes, let's please vacate the area where the creepiest crawlies hang? Rose got all the genes that are into that shit. I mean, I'm ok with creepy crawlies when they're dead? But the living ones can just do their thing like, a million miles from my person. Screw bein' a prince of Derse or whatever, I have had enough horrorterror convos for a lifetime and somehow I keep gettin' suckered into more. Thanks, Rose.

[ because it always comes back to rose insisting. ]
