This. All of this is the exact thing he's ever wanted. He expects that Dirk is going to ride his ass about what he does or doesn't do on the battlefield and he also expects if he takes this job that Dirk is likely to make him train just as hard as before. It's not the worst thing when it comes down to not dying and maybe this time Dave will have a bit more control over it. "Cool." It will be. This time with hopefully less resentment. Less is better, even just by a small margin.
A small amused huff and he's said his peace about his metallic parts getting warm in the sunlight. At least Dirk is playing along and Dave is starting to make his own insinuations about what is or isn't true where Dirk is concerned. The arm around him is even more strangely comforting with the memory that the same arm treating him gently could break his bones ruthlessly. Dave's head isn't so much angled up as it is just across the room but the movement of his Bro's other hand causes him to have a momentary look on the way back down. Those are his glasses too. Dave curls one of his legs up close to himself, leaning his full weight on Dirk and trying to concentrate more on what they're talking about than getting something he's wanted for all his life.
"I lived on a meteor." found out he likes the idea of men a lot more than women but women are still okay, got gay for an alien and then travelled for a few more years. "It was like for three years or somethin'? Got off that rock n' met up with some other players. We're finally done, man. Game over."
