Even with the fatherly wisdom being passed down at the moment, Dave's focus is on the idea that Dirk just said he had to go back. "No, I don't." he'll be the judge of it. "Game's won so... They can do whatever. I'm fine here." Karkat is here, Dirk is here. He has friends here too, even if they're creepy aliens speaking of vessels.

There's a lot here for him and he's not sure it's easier making his own damn world. "I don't got much else to do other than protect it and John and Rose and Jade can do that shit. There's even other players there now that can help." He's not saying at the moment whom but there are.
