Okay, so it sounds like you've known him a while then.

[He just... sighs. This is a weird situation for him. Knowing some other guy was around Dave, acting like his dad. He isn't sure how to feel about that, but on some level, he's... grateful? Even if the guy is a little strange. Knowing Dave's had someone looking out for him is a comforting thought. And Dave hasn't said anything bad about the guy, so presumably nothing bad has happened. So maybe he's jumped to conclusions a bit.]

You know what? I don't care. You can still talk to Dave, I ain't gonna stop you.
