[Once inside, he'll get a wet towel and wipe up the blood on his hands; then he'll start trying to get at the drops of blood on Sollux's shirt.]

God, it's not coming out. Sorry I bled on you.

I don't see why you're apologizing for bleeding on me, I was the one who overreacted and punched you.

I was being an asshole.

[Ugh, okay, it's finally starting to come out; he's feeling a little less panicked.]

Look. I know Dolorosa isn't dangerous or suspicious. This whole situation is just really complicated for me.

How is it complicated?

I don't really want to talk about it.

If you don't want to talk about it, you shouldn't have brought it up, you might as well tell me while I'm here.

I was just trying to apologize, you douche! I told you that you were right, I was being irrational!

I know you were being irrational and I accept your apology, now tell me what the fuck is wrong!

I don't want to talk about it! It's none of your business, okay?

Fine, whatever. I'll probably find out one way or another anyway.

Probably. It's getting hard to avoid getting my personal business smeared all over the place like a grub rolling around in its own waste.

Maybe I'll explain everything soon, but I'm just not ready yet.

Yeah, yeah. I'm too tired to push it any further anyway.

[Plus he doesn't want to get in another fight with Karkat, he's been in nothing but fights with him since he got here.]

Well, I think that's all the fucking blood.

[He makes a disgusted sound looking at the towel he's holding; it's not that bad, but the color will never not sicken him.]

...I guess I should probably go then, huh?

If you want.

Thanks for not being a dickhole about this.

You mean not being more of a dickhole then I already was.

Yeah, that.

Heheh, well I'm glad you stopped being an idiot.
