This is Dirk Strider's SFC. It seems I'm not available right now, so leave a message. I'll get back to you. In the meantime, try to contain your disappointment over my absence.

Nothing worth bragging about. [Come on, Kid, you saw him wearing that hat. He even stole yours. Connect your dots! This is the kid who just wears a shirt with a picture of a hat on it, after all.

Dirk's mouth thins when Kid puts his hand on the door's edge, and while he doesn't shove it away, he does square his shoulders in a way that makes it more difficult for Kid to potentially get past him into the house.]

It may surprise you to consider this, but in the grand scheme of things, it wasn't something so huge I lost.

[symmetrophile]

[He didn't intend on forcing his way into the residence, only to prevent him from shutting the door in his face. But now that he detects Dirk's desire to block his entry, unintended or not, Kid now wants to test that resistance. The reaper's lean body occupies the open space, gaunt silhouette framed by the partially open door.]

Oh? You have very lenient friends, Strider.

[What do you mean? Of course your friends are a bigger deal than the threat of the destruction of a universe. His gold eyes flick a glance past Dirk, over his shoulder.]

I'm not interrupting anything, am I? Shall I check?

[shippingmath]

I'm sure you know them well enough to make judgements.

[If there's one thing Dirk doesn't like, it's when people get into his space uninvited. But this is Kid, and therefore he can't move back to get more space, because he would just move in on it like a bloodhound. So he just shrugs and does nothing to keep Kid from moving closer.]

You won't find anything if you do. I was working, not that you give a solitary fuck about that.

[symmetrophile]

[Seeing as Kid hasn't the strength to push past Dirk even if he wanted to, he will have to indulge his curiosity another day.

Furthermore, he couldn't just deposit himself further into the house with his powers so diminished, so, another time.]

You're right, for once. Good to see you're back to your insufferable self, Strider.

[He'll have to intrude on his privacy later.]

Until next time.
