-Karkat kept Cunneris on his chest and said, “Alright… Let me know when I can let him run loose.” Cunneris was still trying to see. Termes twitched back to life and started breathing. Jade took the one end out of Equius and wrapped his arm with cloth. Equius looked at Termes and gripped his hand. Termes looked at himself a little bit then at the doll and then to Equius and said, “Damn… That was trippy…” Equius took him up into a tight hug as Jade ripped the other end of the tube out of Termes and wrapped him. Termes hugged him back.-

Casi stood up from her crouch,”Uh, I think it’s fine now?” She looked at Dirk as she spoke, with a slight tilt of her head.”If not, I can take him from you if you wish.” Casi stood and walked over to Karkat.
-
-Dirk looked at Casi and gave a slight nod. “Just don’t let him see the note…” Dirk spoke silently so she would hear but not him. Karkat let Cunneris go and the first think Cunneris did was turn and see the blood. He shook a little bit and sat down on his own heels. He just stared. Karkat looked down at him and said, “Shit… havn’t you seen blood before, kid?” Cunneris kept staring and said, “only my own…” Karkat knelt down and held him. “It’s okay… everyone’s okay…” He tried to reassure Cunneris. Cunneris only shook and tried to calm down, holding onto Karkat’s arm. Termes caught his eye and he said, “Father?” Termes looked past Equius and saw the young Cunneris. He reached out an arm to him. Equius was a bit confused but loosed an arm and turned to the side a bit. Karkat let Cunneris go. Cunneris ran to them and hugged onto both of them. Termes held him as did Equius, Termes didn’t seem to even care about what he was going to become, more just happy to have the young one back.-

Casi popped out a blanket from her modus and covered the note wih it gently. She then settled into a love seat, pulling her knees up and rested her chin on them. The girl scanned the room with sharp eyes and relaxed in he plushiness.
-
-Termes looked at Cunneris and said, “Since you insist on calling me father, this would be your grandfather.” Cunneris looked at Equius and said, “um… hi!” Equius smiled at him and as they exited the hug he said to him, “You’re as strong as us, aren’t you?” Cunneris smiled and siad, “Plus I can get stronger. But I prefer having a technical knowledge or just learning anything in general.” Equius smiled and said, “Want to learn how to build a robot?” Cunneris got excited and siad, “Fuck yeah!” “Watch your mouth!” Equius snapped a little. “Sorry grandpa Equius,” Cunneris shied up. Equius smiled and rubbed his hand on his head. Dirk went and sat by Casi and said, “Well, at least we saved one… right?”-
-
Casi shrugged silently, her mind reeling,”There are now two Termes in this timeline, I think that this one might still be doomed. Or one of them is.” Her voice was quiet, so she didn’t alert the others.
-
-Dirk nodded and siad, “It’s most likely this one… He’s already lived things out. Also… I don’t think he’d want to go through the entire process again.” Equius went looking around for parts, Termes helped him look, and Cunneris just followed eagerly as he really wanted to learn. Karkat came over to the couch and said, “Should he really be learning that?”-
-
Casi blinked,”Probably not, but he’ll learn how to build them if he doesn’t learn it now.” She shrugged again and pulled her knees tighter to her self, thinking about the.note.
-
-Dirk looked at her and said, “Is something bothering you?” Karkat backed off so she could talk with him alone.-
-
“The message.” She said simply,”I don’t understand it very well. I’m not sure why Cunneris would leave it. Nor feel red for me, it makes my mind feel troubled.” Her voice was soft and she sighed lowly.
-
-Dirk looked at her and siad, “Well, obviously he likes you for some reason… maybe it’s your English charm?” Dirk blushed a little when he said that. “Maybe it is just how much time you two will see each other,” He looked up, “He’s just a teenager, this one is, but the adult is assured he likes you… meaning you must have seen each other often.”-
-
Casi grinned softly,”Maybe,” she shrugged and didn’t release her tense position. “Then again, maybe not.” Her voice sounded mysterious, the girl turned her head to Dirk. “If I ever reach God Reid, I suppose that I’m going to the Heir of Blood. As Helmj told me, is that a good thing? I’m confused on the subject.” It was an obvious change of subject, but Casi really wondered.
-
-Dirk smiled and said, “Very good. Heirs are very powerful… Blood is a great aspect, you can basically be friends with anyone really.” He thought on it and said, “The two together… You’ll be unstoppable.” Karkat came back and said, “And you’ll be able to do more with it.” He had overheard the talk of blood aspect and decided to chime in. He pulled his own blood from his skin without a single cut and formed it into a sickle. He smirked and said, “I could do a lot more if I had hit God Tier, so just imagine what you could do when you hit it.” Dirk smiled at him then at Casi, “Looks like you landed a great combo.”-
-
Casi shrugged,”That’s and if, I’m not sure I’ll make it that far.” She shrugged,”Maybe I could bring Cunneris out of Carlous if I hit god teir. It might work..” She said mostly to her self. The girl blinked up at Karkat,”I saw you where able to calm down Gamzee with your blood. Then I was able to talk Kroman out of rage, so blood would work too?”
-
-Dirk started thinking on that. Karkat smiled and said, “That is an art to our aspect. I know you aren’t in game yet, but I will answer and teach you everything you need to know about the aspect. Then, you will be ready when it is fully active.” Dirk smiled and said, “Great idea, Karkat.” Termes was passing by and couldn’t help listening and said, “It won’t help any.” He stepped forward and says, “On the line I came from, you tried that. A little too early I think… Then of course, you were in a group coming up against us. You should have…” He stopped and then just turned to go look for more parts as if he said nothing.-
