[ the new world they got to make and settle in beats all of dirk's wildest dreams. he actually gets to live among people and hang out with his brother whenever he wants. it's the sort of thing that you secretly hope for, but don't dare to entertain the thought of because it seems so impossible. and yet here they are, all of them settling into something approximating a normal life, the kind he's only seen in movies.

well, almost all of them. it hasn't escaped his notice that some are having a tougher time than others and one in particular has stood out to him. anything having to do with his brother automatically has dirk's extra attention and so davesprite is no exception. he's not sure if it's because he's a sprite and the game is technically over, leaving sprites without clear purpose, or if it's because he's a double of someone who is also actively around and existing. he would ask, but ... well, they haven't really spoken much at all. it's not that he doesn't want to get to know davesprite, because he does. very much so. but he gets the impression that davesprite sort of avoids him and that's fair.

knowing what he knows about dave's bro and also having heard that davesprite was there when said bro died are reason enough for dirk to let davesprite keep that distance and not force his presence where it might not be wanted.

so when he suddenly finds himself addressed on his way back from a good sparring session with his robots by davesprite, he's a little caught off guard. ]

What? [ it takes him a small moment to get what he means. first that there's a cut on his arm that he hadn't even noticed until now and secondly davesprite's own wound being what he's referring to. ] Oh. I'm sure it'll be fine.

[ look, he'll wipe the fresh trickle of blood away and tadaa, he's good?? who even knows how he managed to survive in a waterworld apocalypse on his own, it's a miracle. ]

...You should really get that patched up, dude. Do you have first aid stuff at your place?

[ it's either an offer or a suggestion, but davesprite doesn't make it clear which. he could say let me fix that but instead he leaves it sort of openended. so that dirk isn't cornered into one option or the other but can just kind of go with whatever he prefers.

it's the same mostly circuitous manner dave has, lots of times.

which, like. makes sense. ]

[robosmith]

Uh, probably. [ a statement that would fill anyone with confidence, helped by the: ] Somewhere.

[ obviously he doesn't care a whole lot for the suggestion when he didn't really take much of an issue with his bleeding arm in the first place. he's going to helpfully shrug and continue on with a second verse that's same as the first. ]

Not sure where, but dude it'll be fine. I've had worse.

[ yeah, that's so convincing. gotta love that strider stubborness and refusal to care about one's own wellbeing. ]

[avianators]

...Why don't you come back to mine for a tick.

[ because yeah. ZERO CONFIDENCE in that statement there, dirk. ]

[robosmith]

[ for a split-second he looks like he might argue more, but then he realizes that might be seen as pushing davesprite away and that's the last thing he wants.

so... ]

Alright, fine. [ however: ] It's just a scratch though.

[ what a child.

but he'll motion for davesprite to lead the way. ]
