"It's not like that." Dave answers smoothly. Him and Karkat had a nice talk and now that Dirk is here, too... But how does he even come around saying stuff like that? Not to Dirk that's for sure and not without forethought, that's even more for sure.
It doesn't even register to him that someone's having a second look at his sword and he slips the item into the booth beside him, carefully butting it up against where he knows it won't fall and slip under the booth. He's taken the booth seat opposite to Dirk's so he can halfass face him. Which means look primarily out of the window and not make eye-contact. Eye-contact is the easiest way to start a fight. Again a tiny shrug is his answer-starter to the school thing. "Dunno. It seems boring. Shit that everyone else learned or like hearing shit on the net? What the fuck am I going to do with the geography of the United States now? Or even this place? Plus I think maybe it'd get in the way of the guild which sounds cooler."
"I thought you might've had a plan in mind, but I'm down to watch people." it meant that he could have more reason not to stare Dirk in the face. "Like. I guess to answer your earlier question, it's not so bad here, so I guess even if it's kidnap central, doesn't mean I don't gotta at least have fun. I can't go nowhere and I can't jump out of here with you or with my friend. Not safely anyway. Small jumps like earlier I can do pretty easy, just got to be sure not to make clones."
