[It brings up a lot of feelings in Dirk, seeing that text on his screen. But it's not as intense as the first time, not really. For one, Dave isn't wandering randomly into his house, completely unexpected.
For another, he's met Dave and Davesprite both. And while they're still alternate versions of his Bro, he knows they aren't the same. They're just about his age, even if staying in Vatheon has added a few months to that time. Dave's got his bro here, he doesn't need to get torn up over Dirk.
So Dirk just takes a breath, and responds.]
As I'm sure you've found, there are more people who know you than who you know. Everyone gets to sit around like a tool wondering what the fuck just happened, so don't feel too bad about losing your special snowflake privileges. The sand is the welcoming gift this time around, but if you want to shun beach tradition, we've got ourselves a quaint little village going on.
