For those of you who might give a fuck, Jake English is gone from the bubble again.
The kid's going to earn himself a title of flighty broad, at this rate.
Maybe the third time's the charm, if our "great and powerful God" deigns to deliver him a third time.
I rather suspect that it's too busy quoting Dirty Harry at us and our delightful circumstance.

[He thinks about that for a moment, watching the spoon jump around Dirk's fingers.]

I guess that makes sense. It's not that happy isn't just happy, but you notice it more of something sad happened first.

[He watches the spoon for another long moment.]

You're really good at that.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

[Dirk glances down at his hands.]

I had a shitton of time to practice this when I was younger, because I spent a damn long time being bored as fuck.

[replicatedcourage]

Oh. Me too, but I didn't have any spoons. I mostly just went swimming a lot and played underwater hide and seek with Morpha.

[There's really not a lot to do when you're stuck in a temple with only a boss monster for company.]

[action]

[shippingmath]

I went swimming plenty myself. Didn't have anyone to play hide-and-seek with except a fuckton of fish, though.

[replicatedcourage]

There were a lot of fish in the temple too but they don't play hide and seek very good. I mean. Well.

[He's been corrected on that quite a bit.]

Morpha was too good though. He's part of the water, technically, and he can grab with his tentacles so I didn't really get to hide for long.

You telling me you played games with an honest to god tentacle monster? Holy shit.

[That actually gets Dirk to crack a smirk briefly.]

A tentacle monster you routinely got caught by.

[Dirk receives a blink of confusion for that reaction.]

Yeah...? Is that weird?

[action]

[shippingmath]

Depends on your definition of weird, but most people would consider it unusual at the least.

[Sola doesn't get the joke, and Dirk probably won't explain it, but at least Dirk seems to be in a better mood. Just in time for the ice cream, too.]

[action]

[replicatedcourage]

[Normally Sola might get defensive over such a reaction, but since the goal is to make Dirk feel better and that seems to be happening, he'll let it go this once.

Plus it's hard to get pissy and defensive when a sundae the size of a mountain is set in front of you.]

Awesome!

[action]

[shippingmath]

First one to get brain freeze loses.

[And with that, Dirk is going to get started eating.]

[action]

[replicatedcourage]

You're on!

[Sola dives into the sundae head spoon first and with aplomb.]
