[GEIR IS FINE!!!!! and glad, honestly, that Dirk going "I'm terrible" about himself doesn't actually seem to lead to him trying to punish himself anything but internally. that would be bad?? everyone would be deprived of Dirk.]

That makes sense. I'm glad Qri brought you here, so you could. I know Jake likes you a lot?

[it's a much bigger reason to cooperate with and be grateful to Qri than he had previously, that's for sure.]

Ummm... I have an idea. If you're worried.
