Dean's eyebrows slowly creep up his forehead as the whole scene unfolds. This guy cutting himself off, the way he glances around, the practically accusatory look he shoots at the guano on the seat next to him, the way he changes spots abruptly.
Hard to know for sure if that's the guy being prissy, or if he's just trying to be subtle about moving in for a potentially controversial conversation. Either way, he's met with a faintly incredulous pause for his troubles.
"Before or after we snuggle?" He asks in flat deadpan — not outright unkind, it doesn't read as particularly mean or legitimately judgmental. He's just a salty guy with a mouth and little regard for his filter. He plows on, rather than waiting for a real answer. "It's a long story, and it involves, like, six different things that are gonna make you look at me like I'm six pounds of crazy in a five pound bag. You maybe wanna- I don't know- spend a day getting acclimated before adding more to the pile?"
He's not trying to be a dick. It's coming from a place with genuine intentions — he was new here once, too. He knows how it feels. Plus, he's done this whole new arrival thing more than a handful of times by now, he's seen the sheer quantity of crap people have to process. The stress that ensues. The way it sometimes sits better when dished out in bite-sized chunks, easier to metabolize.
