[She isn't doing much aside from moving her fingers and idly brushing passed parts of those horns. She knows she shouldn't do it, she really shouldn't, but right now she's pretty much doing it because she can.]

I guess I should say sorry, but.... nah. Not gonna. It's still hilarious.

[He doesn't really know if he wants her to grab those or doesn't, although her sitting on him is letting in an awfully large amount of cold air.]

Thtatementth like that are why you're an athhhole. You know I didn't actually call you here tho you could get your xenophiliac fetithh on.

What can I say, you bring out the asshole in people.

[She screws her face up at the fetish comment, biting on her bottom lip. She can't think up a good enough response to it and that's annoying- it isn't a fetish but she has to admit she's curious as hell about everything, but she didn't come over here to start feeling up a troll boy (well, not too much anyway..) so she lets go, quickly rolling a little to the side and propping an elbow up on the hammock, head resting on her hand.]

Fine, I won't touch you then, seeing as you're going to complain about it.

[He was just joking, actually, but like hell can he tell her that. This isn't the niceness quadrant.]

That wathn't complaining. When I thtart complaining, you'll know. [He shrugs, awkward.] I jutht wanted to have one of thethe converthationth not over text, for once.

Well sorry for being mistaken, assumed it since you sort of complain a whole lot about stuff all of the time.

[Pause.] And yeah, I get that. So is there actually anything else you wanted to say about it all? Since I'm here?

[He shifts next to her, reaching up to rub at his eyes in an old, sort of half forgotten habitual gesture.]

Did I thay we're not doing thith if everybody'th not ok? I think I did.

Uh, yeah.

[Aaaand time to feel guilty again.]

Is she actually proper mad at you? She was fine earlier.

[True to his word, he won't tell Roxy about the thing that didn't happen. Even if Jade's going to tell her about it lately.]

Mad, or upthet enough to tell me thhe doethn't want to talk to me, and that we can't be friends right now.

I wonder what made her change her mind. I tried talking to her about the troll-y romance thing and she said she didn't want to date here. Huh.

[Honestly she's confused as to what could have brought it on.]

[Sollux shrugs, trying not to look too overtly worried or concerned about it. Like hell does he want Roxy to see how much it hurt, when she said all that.]

Thhe changed her mind? Thhe didn't know what elthe to thay? I don't know. Girlth do that?

[Not gonna tell her what happened, nope.]

Urgh, I don't know! [Just going to bury her head under the covers now, a muffled voice coming out.]

She didn't say anything else to me I thought she was fine? But now it sounds like you're saying she's not! God dammit.

[Awkwardly, he reaches out and ruffles the covers right about where her head should be.]

I don't fucking know, I'm jutht telling you.

[A hand reaches out, only to swat his away.]

Yeah I know, but still. Holy shit. This whole thing has been some cheesy high school movie level of teenage romance drama. I mean I even have the gay best friend, every good leading lady has one of those to give them advice and shit.

[Rambling again...]

[Fuck her, he puts his hand back on her head, rubbing in a nasty parody of comfort, perfectly black and appropriate. He figures he should just let her talk, if this thing takes a turn for the worst and this is all they get.]

Huh. What'th the difference between that and a not gay betht friend?

Well its stupid and stereotypical that gay guys have like, better feelings and stuff and can help you with boy trouble since they are guys and know things. Where as straight guys don't care cause they just wanna bone you?

[Wow fuck you Sollux, she slaps the arm away again before finally popping her head back out from under the comforter.]

Except all I get are a whole load of bullshit Strider philosophical lectures so. Yeah.

[Pissed her off, that's all that matters.]

Ehh, how much bullthhit are we talking about here?

Not actual bullshit, just Dirk bullshit that ends up being right anyway, just takes a long-ass time in getting the point across.

[Sollux thinks about this.]

Tho it'th a thingle purpothe moirail for the thake of romantic relationthhipth becauthe you happen to both find a thingle thex attractive.

Uh.. yeah, I guess it sorta could be considered like that.

That ith tho thtupidly complicated.

Oh shut up. Why are we even talking about it anyway?

Eheh, you were explaining about gay bethtieth in thtupid human filmth.

Right. Well there you go, semi-morails except not really seeing as that's not a very good comparison at all.

[Shrug.]

Humanth are tho fucked up. Why ith that even a thing?

Coming from the species with 4 difference romances? Just one causes enough drama.
