[splinten]

[Okay. Well. Okay.]

Okay.

[He will accept that for Dave's peace of mind.] I'd rather monopolize your time anyway, so. [that's fair on both ends?

a pause]

Can I hug you first?

[parodeity]

What? [ blankly, before the response comes immediately after: ] Sure.

[ at least it isn't a reminder of anything now. ]

Uh, no one else is really interested in monopolizin' my time, you realize? Like. Not full-time or generally even frequently.

[splinten]

[Well Dave gets a hug now. Too bad. Also no response? Just the hug.

Hi Dave he missed you.]

[parodeity]

[ dave will hug back, though his grip is loose and not. clingy? he's being careful and a little awkward.

he has no idea how long dirk plans to do this for. ]

[splinten]

I missed you most.

[A dumb thing to repeat, but. Dave's being awkward so Dirk will let go.]

Ok. So you'll text me when you're done with Rose and John and Jade, and I guess Hotaru or whoever else?

[parodeity]

[ it takes him a second, but: ]

I missed you most, too.

[ he kind of shrugs at the question. ]

That won't take me too long. I'll just head home whenever I'm done, and...see you tomorrow or later tonight?

[splinten]

[This is the second time he hears 'tomorrow'.]

You're expectin' me to stay the night with Jake.

[Dave.]

[parodeity]

No. [ genuinely honest. ] I don't expect anythin' either way and don't mind either way?

[ A SHRUG. dave doesn't seem to be deflecting, though admittedly it can be hard to tell. but he isn't for what it's worth! ]

That's kind of not up to me to predict or decide, since it's more to do with the two of you. My plans are pretty nebulous myself, honestly.

[splinten]

[God. He just. Puts his face in his hands for a minute.]

I'll be back before night. See you in a few hours, maybe.

[parodeity]

[ LOOK... ]

Probs. I don't think John will drag me off for a movie sleepover, although he has threatened me with such things before.

[ not...that dave would put up a fight? Whatever. ]

[splinten]

Just let me know if he does.

[Because then he would probably spend the night with Jake or even Roxy? But he will not if Dave does not have a sleepover with John.]

[parodeity]

I kinda doubt he will. I'm thinkin' he might have other interests to attend to.

[ hard to say, with john. dave figures he'll be updated on that whenever john gets around to it. ]

[splinten]

Just tell me. [He flashes in for one more hug before letting Dave go? He will go take care of things because HE INTENDS ON COMING BACK TO DAVE BEFORE NIGHTFALL!]

[parodeity]

[ DIRK...DAVE WAS HONEST WHEN HE SAID WHENEVER WAS FINE...

he probably is not having a sleepover with john though because tbh he keeps putting off things like slumber parties at the base. maybe someday, john. ]

[splinten]

[Ok but this is underestimating how DIRK misses his brother?????? And therefore Dave gets a text later]

Are you around?

[parodeity]

y
hanging w/ obama why

[splinten]

Ready to come home if the 44th President of the United States doesn't have priority on me.

[parodeity]

whats your ranking in the us government system?

[splinten]

I think I might be classified an enemy of the state.

[parodeity]

then if youre asking based on governmental priority i guess obama has us all beat
since i dont think anyone has a rank higher than president rn???
magister might be id have to ask rose re her fancy fantasy terminology

[splinten]

A magister would not trump a head of state.
Be home in fifteen.

[parodeity]

i feel like this is an argument with rose waiting to happen

[splinten]

I'd be interested to see how she would argue it.

[parodeity]

well
shes been denied a lot of that kind of argument of late i think so
you could start it off w/ her

[splinten]

But who will referee?
