Fine. I'll serve myself up as a buffet to satisfy the ravenous appetite of your morbid and pointless curiosity.

[He rubs at his face with a hand, using it as an excuse not to look directly at Sollux.]

Red.

[Sollux is quiet for a minute. He was expecting something worth hiding, of course, but not something on the bottom of the caste system.]

...really? Like, Aradia red?

No.

Like the humans.

...

[He looks awkwardly to the side, trying to think of something to say.]

I...

I'm sorry.

[He doesn't really think that apologizing is the right thing to say but really, what else is there to say?]

Yeah, well, you're the one who wanted to know.

I'm going now.

KK, wait.

[He doesn't want Karkat to leave on a note like this.]

What do you want?

[He just feels uncomfortable and insecure and doesn't want to be stuck in this situation right now. He can deal with this tomorrow, but not today.]

[Where someone like Feferi would give Karkat a big whopping hug, Sollux simply puts his hand on Karkat's shoulder.]

Thanks for trusting me with knowing something like this.

[He smiles a little crooked smile and takes his hand away, letting Karkat leave if he wanted.]

Douchehole.

[He clearly means it affectionately.]

You twisted my arm, but yeah, fine.

Eheheh.

[He punches Karkat's arm lightly.]

You probably want to leave now so I'll stop stalling you.

I do.

Listen, don't tell anyone. I mean...Terezi and Kanaya have figured it out, so if you feel some unstoppable urge to gossip, I guess I don't care. Gamzee probably knows, or he did in the veil, but I don't see why you would talk to him about it. Jade knows too, but again, I don't know why you would need to talk to her about it.

I'll tell the others eventually, but it has to be on my terms.

This isn't something that I'm going to go around and just talk to people about, I'm not that big of a heartless douchebag.

No, you're just an ugly one.

Later, bro.

[He laughs a little and goes over to open the door for Karkat]

Later.
