Dave knows he's taking a huge risk, not only with Dirk's ire but with his literal body not hurting if Dirk decides it's fight time. "Because liars ain't worth my time and I think you might be worth my time. I think you already know why I wanna hear it from your own lips." he says gently, his voice deeper and more to the point of what his problem was. It's Dirk leaving.

While waiting for Dirk to calm down enough to finish what he's saying, Dave tries to calm down. He can't get upset and if he gets upset, that'll escalate Dirk and right now that doesn't benefit either of them. Dave is quiet and he's barely looking over his shoulder, but he's looking in a small way. A glance here or there. As soon as Dirk tells him that, even without the word 'promise' he at least takes that at face value and sits down on the couch. He grabs his glasses to put them up into his hair and then the remote to turn the TV on. "Door sticks at the bottom sometimes. Gotta give it a good pull, just don't rip it off the door frame."
