[splinten]

[Hm.] Yeah, maybe. Wouldn't you be bothered by people I don't like being near?

[parodeity]

[ .............

i mean ]

Who don't you like bein' near?

[ double standards ]

[splinten]

[Wow.]

Same for people that Rose doesn't like being near. It's normal.

[parodeity]

That didn't answer who you don't like bein' around.

[ NOW HE'S GOING TO WORRY ABOUT IT. WHICH. ]

I get your point, yeah.

[splinten]

It's just Komaeda. [No one else actually bugs him.] Pretty sure you'd kill me if I let my uncertainty about Hinata cut him out at this point.

[parodeity]

I think you already know who I don't wanna be around, anyway?

[ so. why are you asking, bro. ]

But yeah. I think you lose out on enough in this that you don't need to add more to it, like, ever?

[splinten]

There's always a chance someone has slipped past my attention. You can dodge me too. [Mm. He tries to be clear about his feelings.] It isn't like you take anyone away from me. Any injury to you is an injury to me.

[parodeity]

[ dirk has a feeling dave won't tell him. he's usually right about that kind of thing, and dave's neutral stare isn't very encouraging in that regard.

he's quiet for a fairly long time, considering.

then he proves dirk wrong at least this once. ]

...The two of them. [ reluctantly, he actually answers. ] Not really interested in hangin' around Rin, but that's a different sort of "don't want to". Kind of don't like hangin' around either troll at the moment.

[ karkat for obvious awkward reasons and kanaya because her moirail is komaeda and dave's not sure he trusts her to have their backs if it comes down to a choice. he feels bad thinking it, and hasn't vocalized it to rose, because who the hell would do that. it's a dumb thought. ]

[splinten]

[Oh. Dave told him.

Dirk leans over, and he hugs Dave.]

Thanks.

[parodeity]

[ DRAW YOUR DAMN PUPPET, DIRK ]

Yeah, yeah. Just don't do anythin' stupid.

[splinten]

[He's distracted by needing to hug Dave! but fine he'll let go]

You'd be an idiot about anyone I told you I disliked.

[parodeity]

You definitely don't know that for sure.

[ dirk mostly knows that for sure. well, dave might tolerate people more? but admittedly not gelling with people he loves is a quick way to get him to bother less. ]

[splinten]

I do. This knowledge is that which I take with absolute certainty.

[also he'll draw more cookie monster now i guess]

[parodeity]

It's different when you like the people in question.

[ than just going BY THE WAY, I CAN'T STAND BEING AROUND KOMAEDA? ]

[splinten]

Is that me as 'you' or a general 'you'?

[btw the cookie monster is gonna end up cartoonish, but the cookies themselves will be bizarrely photorealistic.]

[parodeity]

[ does..........dirk want cookies? ]

Uh. In this situation it's you as "me". But wouldn't you not want to say if you hated, like, Hotaru.

[splinten]

I wouldn't want to say that because in this hypothetical scenario, I'd be hiding the fact that I'm a complete and total monster.

[ONLY MONSTERS CAN HATE HOTARU???]

[parodeity]

P Diddy, then.

[ is that more accurate. ]

[splinten]

I was honest with you about my wariness and uncertainty about the Kharaa.

[But then had to like them... because Dave did]

[parodeity]

You never once said you disliked them to my face.

[ HE'S PRETTY SURE? ]

And I never said to you that I trusted or liked certain people on that list. I just didn't say otherwise.

[splinten]

[Hm.] 'Certain people.' [He's now trying to remember if Dave ever lied to him about these people.]

[parodeity]

I'll help you out. I avoided giving an opinion on them or talked about your opinion on them.

[ at most he would have said they were "fine". ]

[splinten]

So no blatant lies? Thanks.

[why does Dave get a hair ruffle for this.

why are Dirk's Cookie Monster cookies so hyperrealistic]

[parodeity]

You already put up with enough shit as a result of this without it startin' to effect people or things you enjoy even more.

[ this still being their relationship? lmao. ]

We have chocolate chips.

[splinten]

What's 'this'? And what 'shit' are you referrin' to?

[Ah yes, the defensive Southernness.]

...Okay? [Yay they have chocolate chips?]
