[He doesn't argue. He settles for listening, trying to understand what Dave's saying and how it applies to him. In a way, sure, maybe it makes sense.

Is he really that strong? Maybe. But the game was always about making sure they all got out of there and to the new universe. He slowly tips backwards onto his back, sprawled on the bed and staring up at the sky.]

…I am pretty sure you and I see the best in each other and the worst parts of ourselves. [It's a casual way of saying he's not sure he can fully agree, but he won't tell Dave he's wrong.] You're the one who always keeps going and protected all of us. So what does that make you?

[parodeity]

Your best friend.

[ the answer comes easily before dave flops onto his side with a sigh, angled so he can watch john. ]

It ain't like I don't see your worst, you know. It just...qualifies as stuff that isn't so bad. It's your worst. I mean, it's yours. That makes it different.

[windeity]

Because even my worst is still better than most people's or what? [Dave???]

[parodeity]

Because you're my best friend and my favorite person and I like your flaws even when they piss me off. You wouldn't be you if you were just some cookie cutter perfect dude. You'd be a real life Ken doll. What the fuck would I do with a real life Ken doll?

[ ... ]

Besides like immediately tossing it into lava because no.

[windeity]

What a waste of a Ken doll. But fair point. Thanks for not throwing me into lava. [He turns his head to grin a little.] Sometimes your flaws piss me off, too. But we're getting used to them and it makes the whole thing seem way more...I don't know, real? Like the screen's really gone.

[parodeity]

No more fronting, mostly?

[ he gets what john means. ]

And somehow not hating one another without it. Shocking.

[windeity]

A friendship that works? I'm equally shocked. [But he shrugs and looks at the quest bed.] ...you know, these beds are really not that comfortable.

[parodeity]

They are literally the least comfortable beds ever and my mattress frame was made of cinderblocks.

[ 0/10, WOULD NOT NAP ]

[windeity]

It is times like these I am grateful for the beds in the house, even if they are at risk of falling apart all the time.

[parodeity]

Your bed is nice. [ more for comfort than because it's better. ] Maybe we should learn how to make mattresses?

[windeity]

What good would making mattresses do? If anything we should learn how to make bedding.

[parodeity]

Picky, but I guess you have a point. Alternately we just do nothing?

[windeity]

...we could at least go back to a comfortable bed if we are going to lay here.

[parodeity]

Ready for home? [ there's a small smile. ] I'm in.

[windeity]

Yeah, I think so. [There's an equally small smile, but no less sincere.] But we can walk back.

[parodeity]

Lets go, then. [ and then they probably slee in johns bed wtf ]

[windeity]

[Off they go back to their own place and yeah, sleep in John's bed because wtf.]
