OH. WELL, WHEN YOU PUT IT THAT WAY, IT SOUNDS BETTER. CONGRATULATIONS, THEN. I THINK.

THANKS, I GUESS.

YEAH, YOU'RE WELCOME.

OKAY, HI, ALEXANDER, I’M KARKAT. WHAT’S UP.

"Karkat? Nice to meet you…" He smiled a little. “Nothing much, really." 

SAME HERE. 

"Uhm.. I’m Alexander…" The raved haired boy blinked at the troll. 

OKAY, HI, ALEXANDER, I'M KARKAT. WHAT'S UP.

HOW’D YOU GET A KISMESIS OUT OF THAT? IT DOESN’T SOUND LIKE THE GREATEST TIMING TO ME.

HE SAVED MY LIFE AND THEN ENDED UP AS MY ROOMMATE. I DIDN’T FUCKING QUESTION IT.

OH. WELL, WHEN YOU PUT IT THAT WAY, IT SOUNDS BETTER. CONGRATULATIONS, THEN. I THINK.

I’M SORRY, I GUESS.

HOW'D YOU GET A KISMESIS OUT OF THAT? IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THE GREATEST TIMING TO ME.

YEA…

I'M SORRY, I GUESS.

NO. I, UH, CUT A BIT TOO DEEP. AND DIDN’T EAT OR SLEEP FOR ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE THAT.

IT’S THAT BAD?

PRETTY MUCH, YEA.

WOW. WERE YOU IN A CAR ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING?

HUH. THAT SUCKS, I GUESS.

YES. I’VE BEEN STUCK HERE FOR ALMOST A WEEK NOW.

IT'S THAT BAD?

MIND SHARING HOW, OR IS THAT TOO PERSONAL?

IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT.

HUH. THAT SUCKS, I GUESS.

I DON’T FUCKING KNOW. I’M IN THE HOSPITAL. I DON’T BOTHER ASKING ABOUT WHAT THEY’RE GIVING ME.

WHAT? WHY THE HELL ARE YOU IN THE HOSPITAL?

I ALMOST DIED. NOT A BIG DEAL.

MIND SHARING HOW, OR IS THAT TOO PERSONAL?

I DON’T FUCKING KNOW. I’M IN THE HOSPITAL. I DON’T BOTHER ASKING ABOUT WHAT THEY’RE GIVING ME.

WHAT? WHY THE HELL ARE YOU IN THE HOSPITAL?

FUCK. STUPID MEDICATION IS AFFECTING ME.

WHAT KIND OF MEDICATION? WHY DO YOU NEED IT?

NOTHING FUCKING EXCITIING.

THAT'S NICE. YOU SPELLED EXCITING WRONG THERE.
