ONE / VIDEO

[shoosh]

[ this is a video. just a normal, shaky-hand video. what is it a video of? a bed. a very comfy looking human bed with crisp white sheets and fluffy pillows and a awesome looking bouncy mattress and it looks all soft and warm and oh my god.

and then there's this kid. this horrifying, grey-skinned kid with shark-like teeth and horns on his head that look like candy corn. and he's just... staring. at the bed. all befuddled and a little bit angry. ]

How do I use this thing? It's like you humans go out of your way to make yourselves uncomfortable.

[ excuse him, he's just used to being suspended in slime while he sleeps. obviously. ]

I'll do that.

[Pause.]

Thank you for being honest with me, Karkat. You've given me a lot to think about.

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.

It's okay... I'd rather know than not.

Now I can try and change things, at least.

Yeah, I guess it's better this way.

It is.

Just... don't be too hard on Eridan, okay? He's trying, as best he can, to be a good troll... it's just hard for him. He has a lot of emotional baggage that needs to be sorted through.

It's hard not to get mad when he's trying to ram this black relationship down my throat, but I'll see what I can do.

I'll talk to him about that too.

The thing is, though... from his viewpoint, he's not lying. You two were is a kismesistude here, and you both seemed pretty happy with it.

Food for thought, I suppose.

That doesn't make it any fucking easier to accept. I don't hate him in that way.

[You didn't at first last time either, but she decides not to mention that.]

Like I said, I'll talk to him. It's probably best that the two of you don't meet face to face for a few days. I'll do my best to run interference, but don't actively antagonize him either; he'll misinterpret your intentions.

[ like he'd want to meet with that psycho! he's a step away from sleeping propped up against the door as it is. ] Fine, I'll try to avoid him.

Good.

[Brave smile, even if you can't see it. She hopes you can hear it.]

You just worry about getting settled in and getting used to Somarium; I'll take care of Eridan and get back to you later.

Bye, Karkat!
