[ oh no someone else is doing work. kanaya might've come to help, but she just cannot abide this, even something so small. EVERYONE IS WORKING AND SHE IS GOING TO INVOLVE HERSELF IN ALL OF IT LIKE THE LITTLE HARDWORKING MEDDLER SHE IS ]

Do you require any assistance?

[soldarius]

[ KANAYA STOP BEING ADORABLE. D< ]

All clear in here. [ A pause to give Kanaya a once over. ] Nill's in the other room if you're looking for her.

[tastesrainbows]

[ NEVER YOU'RE NOT HER MOM YOU DON'T KNOW HER LIFE

so now she's just gonna...shift awkwardly where is the work give her something to do ]

I'm, um, certain that I'll be given opportunity to see her during my visit.

I don't believe we've been introduced, sorry. You'll be the one sharing residence with Nill for the foreseeable future, yes? I'm Kanaya. [ just gonna...extend one glowy hand kate's way ]

[soldarius]

[ She's going to point to the cake instead. Kids should be having fun!! ]

Kanaya? [ It registers; the one who told her about Tavros' horrible future. ] We've spoken before actually -- on the Network. I'm Kate.

[ With a pleasant smile, she shakes her hand, though she does raise an eyebrow at the glowing. ]

[tastesrainbows]

[ WHAT IS YOUR HUMAN FUN SHE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT

no but actually she misinterprets kate's cue, and so once they've finished shaking hands, she instead begins slicing up the cake and serving it on a pile of plates nearby ]

Have we? You'll have to excuse me if I don't properly remember, but I do apologize for it! Nonetheless, it's very pleasant to make your acquaintance.

[soldarius]

It's alright. It's been a long time since then. [ But Tavros is back now, so... ] I haven't heard from Tavros either. How's he doing these days?

[tastesrainbows]

[ oh, you know, same ol'. he's pretty much got a moirail now, but she hates her. ...romantically.

she offers kate a piece of cake ]

He seems to have acclimated to the new setting well enough.

[soldarius]

[ Amused by this; it's her place and Kanaya is serving her. So sweet. :( ]

Thanks. [ She takes the plate. ] Glad to hear. He's a bit on the shy side.

[tastesrainbows]

[ she doesn't know how else to interact with people she doesn't really know :c ]

He is, but it serves to inspire concern in those more compassionate among us. [ herself included, of course ]

[soldarius]

Nothing wrong with keeping a close eye on each other.

[ Especially since there's troll drama often... ]

[tastesrainbows]

[ oh just you wait till kanaya gets home tonight, she's just hours from a particularly dramatic upheaval. but she feels awkward just standing around, so she's going to take a piece of cake, too ]

No, I certainly don't consider there to be. But they have a tendency to take umbrage when you're too much of a bother.

[soldarius]

[ She laughs a bit. ]

How long have you been here now, Kanaya?

[tastesrainbows]

[ that wasn't a joke :c but she laughs along anyway, it was a little humorous, she supposes ]

Approximately thirty-four weeks. Or, well, I suppose I could use months instead, couldn't I? That would put me at just over seven, I think.

[soldarius]

How did you keep track of time back home? I remember Tavros being confused by Earth calendars.

[tastesrainbows]

Our solar cycle was much longer than yours here, one sweep being around 113 weeks. We generally measured it by the perigees of the two moons.

[soldarius]

[ To be perfectly honest, the trolls' world is fascinating to Kate. She's seen and read about a lot of things, but aliens were not her forte. And for the most part, she doesn't have much of an issue with the trolls here. (Maybe Eridan. Obviously Gamzee.) ]

Someday, you and your friends have to write about your world. I'd love to read about it.
