Jake nodded in agreement at that, Jane's deductive reasoning being second to none if you asked him. He watched the group carefully as the circle went around, hardly believing what the Sollux guy said. Jesus, that's some power.

Until it came to Dave's turn. One minute he was beside Dirk, next he was behind him. Then even after that, Dirk's reaction was...awesomely fast. Like damn!! Whoa nelly and hoochebaba too! He almost wanted to hoop in excitement for his bro kicking some ass, but he stopped himself, nudging Jane with a raised eyebrow.

"Did you see all that? That was...some not regular stuff. I mean Dirk must be working out, but what just happened...this is real, Janey. There are some real deals going on here."
