He'd be okay, Dirk. Time heals most wounds, but... Unfortunately, this was something that would likely take longer to get through. He stood slowly and smoothed his hand over the bed absently, like he was smoothing down the covers because Jade would be back and be upset if her bed was ruffled. He didn't quite respond to the squeeze to his hand, but he moved closer to Dirk when he was finished smoothing the bed.
Jake was silent for most of the way down, patting his thigh almost into the kitchen.
"Bec," he called, and the dog lumbered slowly into the kitchen. Jake tried smiling, reaching out to pet him gently. "...Dirk, can you grab me his kibble?"
