[One would think Bro, of all people, would be hamming it up to the cameras and would catch on to the fact that Dave is trying to sell it to the cameras. But he isn't even thinking about that right now- surviving is his priority when it comes to arenas. He tends to forget that cameras are around.

Which probably makes moments like these better, when he actually does have a genuine reaction to something. He isn't even expecting Dave to thank him for it- to Bro, it doesn't seem like a thing at all. It's kind of touching, in a weird, almost awkward sort of way- but again, the whole possibility of dying makes him less inclined to shy away from moments like this.]

Ah... don't mention it, bud. [He reaches back behind him and just ruffles Dave's wet hair, because it's not like he can hug him or anything. Not that he would. Ew. Gross. But for real, he doesn't really know how to handle it so he's awkwarding just a little bit.

He'll turn serious though, when Dave asks that question.]

Yeeeah, unless you have any alternatives in mind? I mean sure it looks like something out of a horror movie, but so does your face in the morning and you don't hear me complaining about that.

[He really does love you, bro.]
