Dirk's voice! He is listening to Dirk's voice IN. PERSON. It's wonderful, he wants to hear it again and again.

Jake laughs when his hair gets ruffled and grins with lots of goofy teeth at Dirk's smile.

"Of friggin course I'm here, you fantastic dunderhead!" he crows excitedly into Dirk's ear, which is lovely and right near him when he buries his face in his shoulder. He doesn't want to mess up Dirk's hair even more but he wants to see his face again soon, so he just pats and strokes at the back of Dirk's neck. "This is my home! And yours too for your visit!"
