[ Dick isn't too hard to find, out on the deck and leaning against the railing to watch the (repeating, thanks ghost boat) horizon. He hears Junpei before he sees him, but he doesn't bother moving until he bumps against him in greeting.
Dick turns with a smile that's a little awkward-- because he doesn't... do big, emotional vulnerability moments, except he absolutely did yesterday, and there's something a little embarrassing about that. He'd thought he could handle it, but it was a lot harder to convince himself that the feeling griping him wasn't real when he wasn't entirely sure, and the idea of potentially putting someone in danger--
Well. The point is, he feels more than a little stupid, and he's grateful yet mad at the same time, because he doesn't do great being called out. But he doesn't want to linger on any of that, so after an initial pause he bumps Junpei's shoulder right back. ]
Don't tell me you're fetching me for bedtime already?
[ it's a joke-- in a low tone, like he's teasing. he's decided to linger on grateful instead of the other bad stuff. ]
