[ it's a deluge, but one dave asked for, so he just waits for it to wash over him. it's strange to listen to - feel - things he gets and has felt, but in an alien way surrounded with a lot of things he has/hasn't. he wonders for a split second if bro ever felt any of this, but decides just as quickly he doesn't care. the reason he asked wasn't anything to do with bro; the person he's trying to understand right now is dirk.
it is a lot but the weight of this kind of thing feels like second nature, even though it isn't his. it's an ill-fitting hand-me-down sweater that's too tight in some places and too loose in others.
there are holes, a few big enough to put his hand through.
this would be a good moment to be rose. if she didn't fuck it up like she does sometimes when it comes to saying something, she might have something profound or meaningful to say. or jade, who is good at offering sympathy and empathy alike. or john, who can always make all of them feel better even when he doesn't understand the causes of their sadness at all.
unfortunately, he's still just dave strider. ]
You said you didn't have any child development fears. [ so what he comes out with is something out of left field, said uncertainly, and he feels thirteen years old again and stupid as hell. ]
how did you phone tag that in, wtf
