Kai isn't the only one with a head full of thoughts about dates. Dash has daydreamed enough to be a veritable expert on the subject. Even before he was daydreaming vaguely about dates with Neve and Kai, he often got a little lost in thought about the idea of spoiling someone. And there was a point when he was thinking about what it'd be like to go on a date with two people at once, but he hadn't quite cottoned onto the fact that his brain was already thinking of two specific people.
Surely the little imaginary figures in his mind looked like Neve and Kai because they were dear to him, not because he was actually thinking of dating his dearest friends!
Joke's on you, past Dash. You were already head over heels.
"Everything's equal that way," he affirms, nodding. His thoughts were going to wander in another direction, perhaps. Were. And then Kai speaks again, addressing both of them.
He bites his lip, maybe trying to hold back a smile. Trying and failing. "I think it's okay to have a little trial and error! This isn't the same as dating one person at a time, so we're all bound to be a little unsteady on our feet." His smile shows itself now, turning soft. "It's okay to have questions. Let's just promise to do our best to be patient with each other, all right?"
Here, he looks at Neve, then Kai. "Whatever experiences we have had in the past, they can only help us now, don't you think? If we call work together, I bet we'll be able to fill in some of the gaps."
If that means "gaps" in intimate experience in Kai's case and in relationship experience in Neve's, and maybe a little of both for Dash, then so be it.
