_{[If anyone hasn't seen Dirk for a while, it's because he hasn't been here. But he's back now, oblivious to what's been happening in the tower for the past month. The more pressing issue for him at the moment is processing what he's experienced in that wasteland.]}

I refuse to believe that was my home world.

_{[And that's just all he has to say on the matter. What's probably most disconcerting is at this moment, as much as he hates this place, he's glad to be back here. At least here, he's not alone.]}

It would help if I could manage sleeping at all.
At least stay around people you know you can trust. Chances are that anything they throw at you will be more manageable if you aren't alone.

bed bugs keeping you up?

ive been here for half a year
i think
but whatever
pretty sure i know well enough how to deal with this place

[givesyouaboner]

I'm not accustomed to sleeping.

I'm sure you do.
Even still it is beneficial to remain cautious.

[knightime]

youll get used to it

then worry about yourself

[givesyouaboner]

Guess so.

I haven't implied that I don't. I'm concerned for anyone I give the tiniest shit about.

[knightime]

ok awesome
go use that concern on yourself and someone else who might need it
im p much good in the concern department
theres a surplus of concern
we dont think we can add your concern to whats already here
sorry

[givesyouaboner]

Wow, rude.
Way to break a guy's heart.
And here I thought we were getting to be something close to friends, Dave.
If it's that important to you, I can refrain from expressing such things to you.

[knightime]

i just dont see the point in worrying over me when theres plenty of other people to worry about
people who might need it and get them some strider tlc for their tower trauma
its cool
we can still do the brofisting and all the pal shit your heart could ever dream of
pinky swear

_{[Dave, you haven't convinced him of anything.]}

I'll certainly keep that in mind. I'm sure so many are in lacking in lieu of my extended absence.
Oh I do declare, Mr Strider. What a proposition! I shall hold you to your word.

[knightime]

dont get your hopes up too much
i might already be a taken man
i wouldnt want you to be heartbroken about it

[givesyouaboner]

Alas! This would not be the first time my small quivering heart has been hurt.
