Sollux had been searching for Karkat since reset. He didn't come into the biodome much. He didn't really like being in the biodome. As peaceful as it may have been, it reminded Sollux too strongly of the people he'd lost.

Karkat looked up at him only briefly. He knew what this was. Hell, at this point he was half expecting it. He was almost certain that Sollux was there to try to make the whole situation okay again, even though it wasn't.

It took a lot to just not get up and leave. But instead he just hugged his knees and stared back down at the water.

"Hey," he said, deflated with an undertone of low burning frustration.

He took a deep breath. The way Karkat curled in on himself just because of a simple hello. He knew this wasn't going to be easy. He was going to have to explain it to him, and he was going to have to find some way to make him listen, no matter what it took.

"Can I sit down? I need to talk to you."

They'd done this so many times by now, Karkat was accustomed to it. He basically already know how this would go. But that didn't mean he couldn't try.

"Sollux, I don't fucking want to talk about this, okay."
