[ That sliding finger causes a little shiver to run up his spine. He doesn’t know why, and doesn’t get to dwell on it long before he’s drawn into Dirk’s explanation. Mostly he pays close attention, but there are a few times he catches himself observing Dirk more than what he’s saying.
He’s attractive. It only really occurs to him now, now that he’s not being infuriating via egotism or lewdness or ... any number of creative ways he could be annoying.

... I have a lot of things to unlearn. I know that. But ... I won’t lie to you and pretend I can just throw myself at life here and not overthink. I’ll consider what you’ve said. I just ... need some time.
(It's one of those times too where Dirk isn't paying too much attention to how someone might be looking at him. Times where he is lost in things that aren't part of some overcompensating mind game where infuriation is the end goal every time for everyone.)
I understand. It would be unnatural if you could. (Dirk only could because Dirk was always an exception to the rule. He lived a strange life and this Folkmore nonsense was just an extenuating part of it all.)
Take all the time you need. Not like we're going anywhere anytime soon. (Probably.)
