We might have to tear the sheet into strips to make your splint, depending on whether Claire has anything else we can use. Hope you don't mind pink.

[quadrangle]

Why would I mind pink?

[He sounds genuinely confused. Have fun explaining that one, Stephen.]

[thewarningafter]

It's...not a traditionally masculine color?

[He knows as soon as he's said it how ridiculous a statement that is to put before an alien.]

[quadrangle]

[... Oh, right. He thinks he remembers something about this now? Maybe. Whatever, humans are weird.]

Yeah no, trolls don't go for that shit. If anything, it's a royal color? Because of the empress and everything. Hemospectrum.

[thewarningafter]

You mentioned that before.

[quadrangle]

Yeah. That thing.

[He sighs.]

It's a big deal for us, whatever. Anyway, that's why.

[For a split second there's a flippant comment on the tip of his tongue about dressing Karkat up like royalty, but Stephen bites it back, thinking of the way Davesprite has reacted to his jokes.]

We'll get you set as best we can, alright?

[quadrangle]

[......]

Was that a pun.

[thewarningafter]

More of a play on words.

[quadrangle]

[Why is he trapped here with these people. Why.]

Okay, you know what? Fine. Yes, let's do that. I'll see you later, yeah? Try not to die until then.

[thewarningafter]

Same to you, kid.
