[ dave considers that and shrugs, seeming to stall out for a second or two. it's acceptance as he debates whether or not it's enough to go on.
it's one of his split second decisions when he moves again, hauls his shirt back off and throws it wherever, then immediately leans in to kiss john and make it hard to spot the differences anyway. cowardice or simple desire or both.
the differences are easy enough anyway. leaner than he was when he ate regularly and rarely bothered with junk, and littered with scars he's not even going to attempt to explain. what he didn't quite manage to get across was that he'd like something else to carry around if he has to have the scars back, too.
it's one of those dumb little impulses that he's not sure how to explain without saying far more than he wants to. ]
