"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."
[That really does look ridiculous. He came here to make fun of Wirt and his bird girlfriend and now they're having a serious morals talk and Louis has no idea how they ended up here.]
Yeah. Sometimes you just gotta be content with not knowing, I think.
[Oh, but now he smiles.]
But things are going okay with you and Dipper, right? Right? That's not so doomed.
[He pauses though, thinking on that word. Doomed.]
...We're from different worlds though, so eventually it's probably going to be the same kind of thing? Especially if one of us leaves or something. ...But, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, or something.
[Things really are good now, and it's a show of how much he's grown that it doesn't consume him and make him question himself constantly. It's a problem, but...it's not something they can do anything about. So why not experience this strange, frozen moment in time together while they can?]
[ There is that. There's an inevitability to Wirt's relationship with Dipper. They found each other here, and they'll lose each other here. It's not fair.
Not for the first time, he's endlessly glad he and Clem share a world. He doesn't know how he'd cope in Wirt's position. Not at all, probably.]
Yeah. That's... really shitty. You gotta just enjoy it while you can. Take it a day at a time, yeah?
[He smiles, canting his head.]
You're doing better. I mean, less anxious. It's a good look on you.

What? Really?
[It catches him off guard, but in a good way. It really feels like a compliment at this point.]
I...hadn't really noticed, I guess? But, um. Thank you.
[Despite the fumbling response, the smile that comes with it is genuine.]
no subject
[Because of course he did. ]
It's cool to see, obviously Dipper's having some sort of effect on your confidence.
[And, because he's still a little shit no matter what, that's a well-placed eyebrow waggle right there. A-huh-huh.]
no subject
Or, you know, it could be like...my growth as a person or something.
[It doesn't have to be his NEW BOYFRIEND, though when he says this he's blushing pretty hard.]
no subject
I mean sure, it could be.
[HE SEES THAT BLUSHING, WIRT, YOU CAN'T FOOL HIM.]
