There was a divide forming in Dallas' mind. While part of Dallas was relieved and delighted to hear Hadley could replace the ignition switch so Dallas wouldn't have to search endless Reddit pages and YouTube videos to find a tutorial, the other half really wanted a break.
His eyes, for one, were screaming.
Not in his nature to be a buzzkill, the positive portion of Dallas held out and offered his roommate/business partner/best friend a stupid smile and a silly thumbs up.
“Oh, great! That's great!” Giving in to the burn in his eyes and electing to close them for a while. There was nothing weird about standing with your eyes closed, right?
Maybe it would be too bright to see.
Regarding Hadley's question, a tiny alarm bell signaled in Dallas' mind to play things cool, and using his favorite skill learned from his father, Dallas downplayed the pain.
“Probably both!” Admitted the man, bringing a hand up to rub at his eyes again, only making them water more. “Just got something in them, y'know how that goes--eyelashes....metal shavings... sweat.... things.” His voice trailed off quietly hoping his friend overlooked the whole metal part.
