His was a society built on hardship where close associates came and went without too much risk of emotional attachment. They had a good time and Nightbrothers fought for each other if they had something to lose, but it was a risk that few took. A Nightsister or any number of creature on their planet could snatch away what they had in an instant after all. So Dirk just breaking it off was something he had no problem accepting as what it was.
