[He feels his stomach twist at Murdoc's words, and he's starting to have an internal panic. He's trying to figure out a way to get Murdoc to stay without making it completely obvious to Dirk that anything's up. But Dirk's words make him feel a little better, a little more hopeful. At least Dirk doesn't want him to leave.
When Dirk moves and clings to him like that, he takes the opportunity to speak again.]
Yeah, man... You can stay.
[He's hoping that Murdoc looks his way again, because he's giving him pretty much the most pleading look he's ever given anyone. Silently trying to convey that he really needs him to. Because god, the thought of Murdoc leaving him is almost enough to make him break down again, but he hides it by wrapping his arms around Dirk, squeezing him tightly. Trying not to shake.]
