[Dave doubts its all Connor has going on but in his vague, bullshit way he wants Connor to know that he's probably willing to accept whatever parts of him he wants to offer. Whether that's because he's awkwardly compassionate by nature or just a lonely person remains to be seen. It's probably both.
It should probably feel weirder being held while being told a bedtime story, but it's not a memory he can attach any sentiment to so it is what it is. Connor's voice engages him in the story, even if his eyelids are getting frustratingly heavy and hard to hold open.
Dave listens and, with god-like discipline, doesn't interrupt. Probably because he's tired, but also because he's interested. There are some aspects of the story that remind him of the moons back home and the people assigned to each one. Maybe he shouldn't read that deep into it, although he wonders what it means to Connor since he certainly isn't talking about Derse and Prospit.
When Connor finishes, he's silent for a little as if he's asleep. He's not. Eventually:]
Woah. That's so sad. [Hot takes by big brains.]
Is that it? What happens when there isn't an eclipse?
