"Goddamn, someone's been working on their metaphors. That was some Strider-level shit, dude."
Dave falls in beside Wash all too casually, lightly bumping a fist to the man's shoulder in a show of approval. And it's probably the best suggestion of tone you're gonna get right now, because for all the laid-back airs he's affecting, Dave's closed off like he hasn't been since he was back home committing necessary fratricide.
He doesn't like fighting. But hell if he doesn't know how to compartmentalize in order to get shit done, retreat into himself a bit and fall back on old habits he doesn't like much more. He's stony-faced and unreadable despite the quipping -- it makes his normal coolkid chill look like the most open emoting in contrast -- stance relaxed but ready. Clowns are unpredictable by nature. Like fuck is he gonna let this knockoff catch him off guard.
But hey, they've got a solid enough plan right now. Bait the clown into chasing them. Easy enough, right? If there's one thing in life that Dave had proved he excels at, it's pissing off clowns.
"Anyway, time to get this show on the road. No one gives a shit about the opening act. Let's just fast-forward through this walking commercial so we can get to the good stuff already. The popcorn's already popped and I'm not wasting any of it on previews, gotta save that shit for the feature presentation."
