Not that much! [Into the cafe they go and in line waiting to order. John's busy glancing up at the readerboard to decide what he wants.] Just Pen's ship, a couple of windows, and Eren.
It could also be a lot worse and it's not! So "not that much" still stands. [An order of vegetable soup and an order of potato soup will soon be placed as soon as they get close enough to do so.] It kind of worked out at least since everybody was too stunned that I was flying.
I will say that I have definitely grown used to you doing that, yes. And I would be a little weirded out if you stopped. You’ve been mocking me since we were kids anyway.
I know. It's just how we communicate and stuff. [A flash of a grin. The soup's ready not long after and he grabs the bag before paying and taking Dave's hand again to lead him to the car.] I remember enough of our chats by now to know that.
[His fingers wiggling a bit, tapping on Dave's knuckles but otherwise not pulling away or the like. Instead, it's back outside to the car.]
I remember plenty of chats with Rose and I have been getting that impression, yes. And it is pretty easy to see that she is just like that in this life, too.
That explains a lot. I think Jade used to tease me, too. [He opens the door for Dave so they can get in and go home.] Still weird how things like that carry over.
I think like might be a little subjective, but we get along okay. But my point stands. I remember him yelling and now he does not. I'm sure there are other differences if we think about them, too.
I mean, there is also the fact he calmed down like that back then, too. I mean...he was easy to piss off, but he chills the fuck out if he's not in a life or death situation and when he...steps off the control wagon, whatever.
[ at least, dave's pretty sure that is a thing? ]
Karkat Tantrum Bingo is a thing but, like, yeah. The differences are small, not...enormous, in my experience?
We all grew up I guess. Anyway, no more Karkat talk. I love the snow and I love winter but I am actually sort of looking forward to the rest of the day. I like watching from the inside, too.
Yeah, yeah. We can watch Elf - you picked Elf, right? - and eat soup and spoil our cat, and you can keep the blinds open so you can gaze soulfully off into the outside.
Yeah. That's a good plan to me. [And so he drives to the dorm and they make their way inside up to their room where John sets the soup on one of the desks and hunts down the DVD, leaving Dave to decide where he wants to nest and what he wants to do.]
[ DECISIONS - but dave doesn't dither as much as he sometimes can. it's more routine than it isn't now and he will change to stay in for the rest of the day and perch on a computer chair to eat the soup, because eating soup in bed sounds dumb.
whenever he finishes that, though, he'll either pick whichever bed john ends up on to sit on or just drop onto john's bed, so there's that. movie day. ]
[Movie day. Once Dave finishes his soup he can join John on his bed and he'll comfortably drape blankets over them so they can watch movies for the rest of the afternoon and not think about anything too serious. Eventually John might doze off? But otherwise he's content for the rest of the day.]

Yeah? Remember enough of your chats with Rose, yet? She's got a unique way of making people feel dumb. [ he sounds too fond. ]

Is it really? Personalities don't differ that much. Not really.
