[When the feed clicks on, it shows a rather serious faced Seatroll prince, eying the feed with a certain judging and condescending air that really only fits one of his caste. His brows knit and the corner of his mouth pulls back in snarl just before he starts.]So it's come to my attention that a good handful a you think that the fakest fiction that

[You forgot to mention how she had already broke his heart once before, there Karkat. Eridan however is starting to realize that maybe. Just maybe... He's been lied to.]

I--Alright, alright. I get it. Maybe that was stupid on my part. But I didn't think she'd sink so low to say the things she said and not mean them... [Though the more he thinks about it, the more he can see how she might have been pulling his flipper.]

[He looks to Karkat a bit disdainfully. Yeah, he definitely should have just listened and should have maybe talked to Karkat when she had even started to convey the idea of being flushed. Karkat would have probably seen past it immediately--but Eridan's desperation... Yep, makes the sea troll do some pretty stupid things.]

I--I don't know. She had me completely fooled and... [He honestly didn't have an excuse and for some reason, this worries him.]

...I don't exactly hawe a good reason, Kar. [He just wanted a matesprit :c]

[action]

[yerawizarderri]

[Eridan follows Karkat without hesitance or question. When Karkat takes a seat, he does so as well. Almost following Karkat like a woofbeast in trouble, tail between the legs and everything, though Eridan more so had drooping fins that were not unlike how a woofbeast lowers their ears in a similar situation.]

You're right... I sho--Wait. Who-- [He stops himself, Karkat was right, that wasn't the point... Not that he really had time to expand upon it before a swat to the back of his head. That gets a narrowed eye expression out of him before he glances away.]

It's hard Kar, when an opportunity arises, it's difficult not to just try and grab for it--ewen if in retrospect it was a dumb decision... You... just don't understand...

[It's hard being Eridan, it's hard and no one understands.]

[action]

[yerawizarderri]

[What Karkat said was absolutely true and while Eridan knew and acknowledged this, the want--no, need for not being alone was always too great for the prince. He just wanted someone to care for him--or hate him. Of course, he had Sol for the hating now, but he was still empty on the red side of that sort of romance. For him to slow down and allow things to develop... He feared doing that, because he knew if he tried that with anyone, it'd never work out.]

[Eridan really hated himself after all. And if he couldn't stand himself, it was a wonder how anyone did--let alone, for him to get a matesprit. It was a fucking miracle in and of itself that Karkat could even deal with him before, let alone being his moirail.]

Alright, I'll try not to. I'll try to think more clearly later on--and if I'm not sure, I'll talk to you about it?

[Again, he's trying to be obedient, trying to listen to Karkat. Kar knows what he's doing after all. Just old habits are hard to break.]

[action]

[yerawizarderri]

[A shallow nod. He had to admit, he much preferred this compared to what he thought was going to happen. Karkat wasn't even really yelling--Well he was sounding like Karkat. There was a distinct difference between Karkat's regular speech and when Karkat actually yelled.]

[Though, when he mentions breaking it off with Vriska, he can't help but frown. He knew he needed to anyways, since it was obvious to him it was all a hoax, but there was still that small part of him that was maybe, possibly hoping that Karkat might be wrong. Though, he pushes that aside. He was going to take this whole thing a lot more seriously--he had in the beginning, but he wasn't going to allow himself to just indulge in temptation any more.Not after he almost had an infuriated Karkat sickle through his door.]

Fuck, alright. I will. It's for the fuckin' better anyway, because if what you said is true, she'll probably just dump me ewentually. And, I'd lowe to hawe the upper hand against her with this.

[Even if it won't hurt her like it would have hurt him...]

[action]

[yerawizarderri]

[That much was very true and while there were brief instances Eridan was certain he was going to be murdered, he was glad it had gone the way it had then the less favorable one.]

Okay, okay. I'll be sure not to fuckin' let her try and sweet talk me. Yes I understand!

[Huff.]

Alright. I...

[He pauses, thinking about a certain conversation that Karkat probably wouldn't have approved him having. Though, by all means... He wasn't near her... Hmm.]

[He looks to Karkat, that kicked woofbeast expression resurfacing as he gulps a moment.]

I.. I hawe somethin' else to tell you...

[action]

[yerawizarderri]

...Promise you won't be too mad...

[He knew asking for Karkat to not be mad at all was like asking Feferi to not swim. Yeah, he's somewhat purposefully dragging this out a bit too, because fuck is he worried about admitting this. It wasn't even his fault! She contacted him!]

[action]

[yerawizarderri]

[That wasn't really encouraging Kar!]

It's Fef...

[He lets a pause hang there for a few moments before finishing the thought out.]

She uh... She contacted me... We spoke... Through text! I didn't see her, or go near her or anythin'! She wanted to talk to me and I didn't know what to fuckin' do, I couldn't just ignore her!

[God he was getting so worked up with worry about Karkat's reaction he was babbling now! It wasn't like what he was saying was untrue. But he was definitely sounding way defensive. He just... Didn't want Karkat to beat him. :c]
