"Is this recording? ...Um. Hi. This is Wirt. I'm not here right now - I-I mean, obviously, since this is a recorded message. Uh... Leave me a message and I'll get back to you, at some point."
[Wirt didn't ask for this either, but less because it's emotional at all and more because he still feels bad he didn't notice. What kind of person just doesn't notice something like that? Dipper says he's okay, but...Wirt knows he wouldn't be fine if it happened to him. Obviously.
But, maybe he is okay. At the very least, Wirt knows it's a cue to not pry anymore, at least right now. He mirrors Dipper, shrugging a shoulder.]
Yeah...no, I appreciate it. I...actually, I didn't think I knew anyone who had even died here? I knew people came back, but... [He stops himself though, because maybe he does know other people who have died and just never said anything to him. It's enough to make him switch gears a little.] ...I-I dunno. It helps a little. I think.
[He doesn't know what to think about his own situation, but Dipper's trying and that's enough for now.]
[Wirt grins awkwardly too and he actually lifts up his hands up like he might finger gun back at him...but, no. No, that's not happening, but it does make him laugh just a little, in a way that actually breaks the awkwardness for a second.]
...Yeah, no. I'm not doing that. Um, thanks though?

[Dipper doesn't like to talk about it. But he likes pretending he's got no problem with it even more, so. He can totally talk about it. This is fine.]
Good. Good. So, uh. Let me know if you need anything? [Dipper grins awkwardly and finger guns at Wirt.]
