[ dirk just sits quietly, for it. song has been important in his relationships in the past, no matter what kind--ginger lipsyncing songs onstage to make him blush, making music with dave, on and on.
he doesn't think about it much as a rule, but that's going to work here too. he listens, really listens, and it really is a raw and open song that he didn't expect. they hardly know each other, but here connor is, and it's... he doesn't know how to describe how that makes him feel, so he won't.
it does feel like something though, and he runs his tongue over his teeth in a close approximation of nervousness. not quite, but close.
he doesn't interrupt, though one hand does briefly skate out to brush over connor's hair. just once. ]
