[Dirk actually eats the apple slice automatically and then. Wait.]
You are now short a slice of apple.
[He has to get more apples for Dave now.]
I was thinkin' about something while you were sleeping. Not an ultimatum? Just a thing I've been thinkin' about, regarding the selfish thing you think is too selfish to be acceptable.
What if I just ask people how they feel about it? And if anything bothers them with it, I can talk it out with them, see what the issue is. See whether or not it's a thing that can be dealt with or if it isn't. Just sort of figure out what'd be going. It isn't like I want to hurt anyone either. [like sure only a select few opinions matter enough that Dirk would be desperate to balance their needs against Dave's, but it isn't like he WANTS to hurt people.] Maybe it'd be best if I find out for myself how people feel about it, and come to an informed opinion, rather than start by trying to work out how to make it happen.
No obligation on your part to let me in after I ask around. I just kinda want to see what you mean. [His expression shows that quiet candour. He has been thinking about it. And it worries him? Would people really be upset by it? He doesn't understand why. He wants to.]
