It's both funny and offputting how easily Dave finds that they slip back into their sibling jibes. It really only reminds him how much he misses his Rose, but he's not letting it show in his face or voice. He's trying to act like this is just another day and another conversation, though he's beginning to realise that this might be a pretty time consuming moment to have.

"Well we can't all be Adonis. Some ladies like a guy with no meat on the bones." He glances at his communicator, wondering when Terezi will be down and whether it's worth sending a message telling her to hold off on the meeting. He shrugs at Rose when she questions him, the usual response full of teen apathy.

"It was pretty bleak, last I remember." He twists his mouth into a frown.
