Say, Jake? Not to cast doubt on your feelings, but are you quite sure all of Dirk's actions have been for the sake of courtship? Um... You did say his robot was prone to assailing you, did you not? Is that really an affectionate gesture? Well... He basically sent me that thing as kind of a sparring partner. Like to wrestle with. And i love to wrestle! Oh. And yeah i guess he programmed it to be a bit overzealous but i mean what do you expect from the guy. I think its his way of training me to become tougher. Which sometimes is annoying and sometimes when i walk through the jungle im sweating bullets wondering if its going to pounce on me outta nowhere. But theres actually something kind of exciting about that its like every day is more of an adventure. And truthfully its probably working i probably AM getting better at being in scrums. Yeah. I guess you're right. And his responder which i guess is really a part of his personality even if he doesnt like to say so... It kind of lets on a lot more than dirk ever would. Its almost like its this weird clone of himself playing passive aggressive matchmaker between me and his real self. Yeah. I can see how such a complicated relationship could keep you preoccupied. I guess I can't blame you. Maybe you should just... I don't know. What? Maybe you should just go for it. Hell, why not. Just tell him you know how he feels and that you're open to the idea?
