Dirk pauses in his line of questioning to take a bite out of another of his chips, then to take a third sip of his fire whiskey (it still burns, but he must be getting used to it, he doesn't want to make a face this time).
Now that he's watching, he's not likely to miss the way Bro shifts in his seat. And what he says, well, that's a beacon if ever Dirk saw one. He's used to Bro being so stoic, and today is completely flipping that on its head.
"So who is it?" He finally asks. "It's gotta be someone special, since this is so rare." It's a genuine question, not intended to mock- if Bro really wanted this dating thing to happen, he'd do it whether or not Dirk agreed with him, but it sounds like Bro wishes he would approve, so he is withholding his reaction. He can't help being a bit surprised by it. In all the time he's lived with Bro, he can't really remember any kind of serious relationship happening.
