"....yeah, it wouldn't be my first time either." Dirk stares at his leg in silence for a second. The pain is constant, but also moves with his pulse. Or--no, with his breathing? Maybe it's his breathing. "Same leg and everything."
Did he not notice it was the same, or did he recognise the threads of continuity and that's where the 'joke' came from? Is the idea itself better for it? Or worse? He isn't ruling it out, unlike Emet--the worst that could happen is death, and death can't come for him here. No matter what he--
Emet's sudden recomposure and take-charge tone snaps him (mostly) out of that train of thought.
"I said I'd handle it. Or are you seriously going to jostle my ass all the way to a Pokemon Centre? Because I am not joking when I say it would be faster and more efficient to just bash me with a brick and get me there that way. Might not even need to look at the leg after." He's not moving, dude.
