Earth (Second timeline)
-
Casi walked down the hall way,”Karkat?” She noticed the light in the rest room and knocked lightly,”Karkat, are you there?” She hoped this was Karkat, or this’ll be slightly awkward, the nubby horned troll was enjoyable to the extent she spent time with him. So hopefully she can lure him out the rest room, because really, who hides in the rest room?
-
-Karkat heard the knock and said, “No! I’m not fuckin in here.” It was quite audible that he was upset, it also seemed like he was shouting loud enough for the entire house to hear. He was curled up in the shower and was not going to move, it seemed.-
-
Casi blinked at his harsh voice,”That is one way to state the obvious, would you like to come out of the rest room? I’m sure there are more comfortable places to hide then a laboratory.” Her voice was soft and kind, with a hint of warmth, she spoke like how she spoke to Kroman when she had to calm him down from his enraged state.
-
-Karkat was about to yell again but the calmness in her tone got to him a bit. He leaned out of the shower to at least unlock the door, it making a click as it did so. He did, though, turn the water on so he had it going over him to hide his red tears. He waited for her to come in, staying curled up in the shower completely drenched.-
-
Casi opened the door quietly,then closed it behind herself and spotted him drenched, she opened the cupboard under the sink and grabbed a pain white towel and placed it on him gently. “Hey come on, you’ll get sick if you stay wet like that.” She grinned ever so slightly and patted the towel,drying his clothes slightly. The girl leaned back and sat the edge of the tub,”What’s wrong? You left after I spoke, did my words upset you? I apologize if I up setted you.”
-
-Karkat looked at her and let her dab him dryish. He looked at her and said, “No… it’s knowing that he is definitely my descendant and he… I know I am shy of showing my blood color but I am not ashamed of it. I had my insecurities and I dealt with them and I have the greatest friends and matesprit a troll could ask for. To know a descendant… Would be so ashamed as to get his blood ripped out of him and someone else’s blood put in… That is just… It feels so wrong.” He hid his head in his arms.-
-
Casi sighed lowly,”He really regretted it though, I can’t recall what caused him to change his blood colour, I’m sorry. But he really really regretted it afterwards.” The girl fixed the towel to it wrapped snugly around his curled up form,”You shouldn’t judge him for that though, when he’s not enthused with rage, he’s a really sweet troll. He knows his mistake clearly.” The girl fell silent once more after her small speech and fittled with her fingers in her lap.
-
-Karkat peeked up at her and said, “He regretted it?” He seemed to perk up a little bit. His eyes almost sparkled up at her like a kitten in a basket. Despite him being a grown troll, he was obviously still rather adorable when a bit sad.-
-
Casi looked down at him and gave him a small smile,”Deeply, but he’s learning to live with his new blood colour.” She tilted her head slightly,”..Do you want to get out the washing tub, and dry off completely? You must be cold in it, it has a habit of chilling living beings to the bone.” The girl stood up and reached down with her hand to help the cute troll out of the large washing basin.
-
-Karkat thought about it a moment and silently took her hand as he stood up, keeping the towel around him. He smiled weakly at her and said, “Okay… But I am still a bit upset with this. You understand… It’s really against everything we stand for… Though, Feferi has made things better… I don’t really need to hide anymore… Can I just go to a comfier room when I am dry?” He was being as calm as possible.-
-
Casi nodded,”You can go now if you wish, I can show you to a guest room if you wish.” She let go of his hand, even standing up Casi was still shorter then Karkat. She took out another towel and draped it over his shoulders, and slid off his damp on, folding it in her arms. The girl opened the door and walked out, then waited for Karkat to follow.
-
-Karkat patted himself as dry as he could, his top and a cloak he’d been wearing recently were what he couldn’t get dry. He just took them off and left them there, exposing scars on the troll’s back and chest from battles. He made sure they were hung up properly and then came out to follow her to a guest room. He kept the towel over his shoulders and followed her close. From all he’d been through, he had a lithe build with smooth toned muscle. He made sure to look down a little to watch her and where she’d lead.-
-
Casi barely spared a glance at his half nude body and lead him to one of the many guest rooms in the house. The girl opened the door and stepped back, to let him in,”I’ll be in the kitchen if you need anything,” She padded away her steps silent and grabbed some cleaning supplies on the way back to her cooking area. Casi walked back into the kitchen and started to clean up the mess, working around the trolls still there.
-
-Karkat went into the guest room and made himself comfy to curl up on the bed. The trolls and humans moved out of her way when they could. Rose turned to her, covered in egg and said, “May I use your shower? Gamzee got me pretty good.” Sollux was talking with the others. Gamzee was still sipping his Faygo but he seemed to have a slightly concerned look. He seemed to want to go check on Karkat but was keeping himself from doing so.-
-
Casi nodded,”Just go find an empty guest room down the hall way, towels and contaminants are in the cabinet under the sink. The girl cleaned up the egg neatly, and scooped it into the dust catcher, promising her self to bleach everything the eggs touched later. She was careful not to get to near everyone, wary of the deadly cleaning mop she wielded.
