First beat
Well, I can't say I've ever been this late to school before.
Unfortunately, I can't claim to be awesome enough to have played hooky for half a year.
Maybe next year.
In the meantime, I'm back.
I'm sure you're all either completely ecstatic or completely disgusted, so please, contain your looks of horror and/or joy.
A simple "Sup, Dirk" will suffice.

That helps. Dave saying that... well, it puts things in perspective. It makes it so that this isn't about Bro being negligent, or dangerous. It's about Bro being a fallible human being. Dirk still doesn't like that it happened, but he can't be angry at Bro for it the way he was starting to be.]
So you almost fell. But you didn't.
i need to put more icons on this dude but this is the only one I've got that comes close so far
Yeah, I was stupid. I figured that it'd be good for him to take his mind off of it, and obviously you can see how that backfired spectacularly in my face.
[He hesitates for a moment and takes a deep breath. It's really difficult for him to admit this, but he needs to say it to at least one of his brothers. Bro is out of the question. The guy doesn't need more guilt.]
There's one other thing. Keep it from Bro, okay? He's got no idea about it and I'm keeping it that way for a while. [Another small pause as he crosses his arms across his chest and looks away.] After that incident, I've kinda...avoided the open towers. And tall buildings with panoramic views of what looks to me like a huge fucking drop all the way down. I'm good on a goddamn broomstick, but anything else? Nope, fuck that.
I know your pain
He's been gone for months. He's totally allowed to give Dave a hug by the Strider code. That's a thing he can get away with.]
I won't let him know.

Thanks, man.
[When it seems like the moment is starting to stretch into awkward, he straightens up.]
So, think you can school me on astronomy? I've kinda been skipping the class and learning on my own, but I might've missed some shit that was supposed to have been covered.

Fourth year stuff? Sure, I can do that.

Do I need to explain irony to you again? It was great, and you're just a philistine.

No, it was awful and cringe worthy. I think you've been studying too much.
