Day 459 TEXT

[knightime]

that makes two of us
shit if theres still a lot i dont know about you
its not gonna blow up in your face though
that would imply that im not sometimes scared as hell that i might be the one who makes the mistake and fuck things up

[Dave can read the implication. He doesn't ask of course. Even if he's curious from time to time, he refuses to touch it. It's not his to touch.]

if you do something stupid than you do something stupid
ill tell you it was stupid and then we move on
if i do something you tell me it was stupid
same deal

people do crap all the time and sometimes it wasnt always the best line of action
im not gonna ditch you just for that [That would imply he would have ditched Rose. Or ditch Dirk for less.

Or he doesn't care about them enough or something.]

Day 459 TEXT ---> Action

[timaeus_testified]

[The reply is not what he expected to hear, yet it's been his experience with Davesprite. Some tight band inside his chest loosens up. He lets out a breath he didn't even realize he'd been holding.]

We're kids, we're going to make mistakes from time to time.
It's how we learn.
From what you're saying, I know I don't have to say talking shit out is a hell of a lot better than silence.
It sounds like we're on the same radio wave.

[He wonders what to say about that. So he just types the first thing in his head.]

We're cool, Dave.
I wouldn't ditch you, either.

I'll see you in a few minutes.

[The speakers in Stride are thumping whenever Dave arrives. Some song about it being no place for a hero or a better man as Dirk looks over a blueprint laid out on the bar and held in place by two empty mugs.

He makes a few marks in the top and tells the native bartender a line of instruction before he nods to his brother, waving him over.]

Turns out Roxy left behind some journals in case she ever left. That girl always plans ahead.

Day 459 Action

[knightime]

[Dave leans on the bar, across from Dirk. Casual.

The conversation they had was done and dealt with. Won't bring it up unless it feels right to do so. He doesn't think they need to talk about it again. The two of them on the same plane.]

Must be a Lalonde thing. [Kind of. Rose had the upperhand to being a seer.] Or she knew a pair of Striders might recreat a scene of two headless chickens on the offchance she disappears.
