[splinten]

[Ah.]

With my face muscles and everything.

[Dave must have been shocked when Dirk expressed any emotion at all, let alone shock about weapons in fridges.]

[parodeity]

[ it was a weird fucking experience ]

With my expressions.

[ a familiar turn of phrase. familiar minute reactions that bro had never displayed - dave had, though. ]

It was very much a twilight zone special?

[splinten]

The uncanny valley in the form of a teenaged stranger.

[It makes him happy, in a strange way, to hear Dave say he recognized their expressions were the same.]

[parodeity]

That's...actually exactly it.

[ unease and a gut-churning desire to be nowhere else until he'd been able to start categorizing dirk as Not Bro. ]

Uh. I think I forgot to ask you if you had any other questions about whatever.

[ may as well offer it while he's tired enough to front less than usual. ]

[splinten]

I'm good. Go to sleep, Dave. [They both need it.]

[parodeity]

Yeah, yeah. You too.

[ he'll try, anyway. it'll take him a while? but at least he will Shut Up, so dirk is Free ]
