[Definitely weird. Just. So fucking weird. A universe without Dave just isn't worth contemplating. Oh god, he heard that, didn't he? Time to change the subject, a task made far simpler by the fact that Dave said what.]

Are you fucking implying that Dirk is stronger than I am? Fuck you. Fuck you and also no, I have not. I mean, I lifted his backpack, but that doesn't count.

[Shut up, it so doesn't. He does passingly consider pulling back from Dave just enough to recheck Wart's dimensions, but since that means, well, pulling back, he doesn't. He really could not give fewer shits about poking himself with chest triangles right now, don't even fuss.]

Besides, I gave you enough hoofbeast rides when you were a wiggler. Are you trying to squeeze more out of me? Because it's not going to fucking happen.
