[ so the camera is a little shaky. so sue him. what's clear though, this the fact that Goldenrod is clearly visible in the distance. there's still a good three hours left for Karkat ( and Eridan ) left to travel, but they're almost there. ]

The next time I want to go the long way around to do shit, someone stop be from being so goddamn ambitious. I don't think being stuck in a forest for that long was good for either of us. Fucking grubs... I'll be so content if I never have to see another Metapod or whatever those other nookslurping things are that constantly use that one move over and fucking over again until their defense can't go up anymore.

Not to mention, some particular fuckass I am traveling with only has fucking water pokebeasts! Fucking worthless sack of -

[ and he catches himself with a hiss. it's his irritation talking, really. ]

Only a little longer and then some, I don't know, touching pump felt reunion can happen or whatever it is that humans do. I thought about sending Josie ahead, but it seemed a little fucking pointless.

Well--Okay, yeah I guess I did expect it kinda, but like fuck I knew they'd be a fuckin' pain for my waterbeasts.

[A beat.]

... It's not exactly like any a them will be excited to see me, Kar.

[Did you forget, Karkat? You're like basically his only friend.]

[ oh right. kind of forgotten about that. ]

If they give you shit, I'll just have to give them shit right back. I'm the leader and if I fucking say this is fine, then it should be sufficient.

[That gets a bewildered look, mainly because Karkat's basically satying he'll stand up for Eridan. Eridan honestly has never had someone do that or even offer to do it before.]

... Alright, well, thanks.

What? Did you think that I wouldn't?

Can't say I was expecting it.

You thought I'd just feed you to the fucking sharks once we all met, didn't you. I guess I understand that logic, wrong as it is.

[ and, well, Eridan doesn't know Karkat's already defended him. ]

Well, I didn't think you'd get inwolwed if they were unpleasant with me. Not necessarily that.

[Eridan kinda expects people to just kinda ditch him, it's basically a natural assumption anymore.]

It's too fucking late for that anyway. So suck it up and deal with it.

... Pff I can deal with it just fine. It's not a matter of not bein' able to.

Then why the fucking lost baa beast look?

Thought I made it obwious enough, I wasn't expectin' you to put your snout in any business a mine, or defend me or anythin'.

... Not used to anyone ewen really carin' that much, not that I can't handle anythin' they may throw at me, I can. I guess I'm just kinda grateful.

. . .

Kind of had a pact, didn't we?

[... Staring. Not accusing, not angrily, not anything negative, the expression is something closer to touched, surprised, but touched.]

[Oh well he probably looks stupid now, just gonna look away haha yep didn't get caught off guard there by a metaphorical pity punch to the ol' vascular organ.]

Oh--Well, yeah. That's true, glad to see you're actually stickin' to it and all.

[ it's all right, Karkat has to look the other way too. ]

Damn straight.

[...]

So, are we lookin' to stay in Goldenrod for a while, or were they waitin' for us before headin' out to the next town?

[Like he pays attention to that shit, or what other people say. And... It's just easier to change the subject than to leave it on that one for too long.]

I don't rightfully know. Rose said she wanted to get the fucking move on and that the would regardless if we caught up to them or not.

But they're still there in Goldenrod. Personally, I would fucking want to stay just a bit. Get rested and get more funds and shit.

Yeah, not like we couldn't catch up with them if they decide to leawe--I mean, if they left before we finished regainin' our funds and the like.

Yeah, honestly? I'm not too worried.

[A small glance.]

Yeah, me neither.

Because you don't particularly care either way?

...

Yeah, somethin' like that.

[ reaches over and pat pat pats. ]

[Looks to the hand, then to Karkat.]

... What?

It's a gesture of comfort, dumbass.
