... He's kind of hard to talk to though. ♪

[her last attempt sort of failed in her opinion. That wasn't really either of their fault though.]

Eheheheh, he ith kind of hard to talk to, ithn't he?

Haha, yeah. I don't think he's a bad person, but I haven't figured out the trick yet. ♪

I know how to calm him down when he getth upthet. I'm hith betht friend tho it would be weird if I didn't know thith kid of thtuff about him.

Ah, I hope you can meet him soon then. ♪

[...he was definitely upset last time, but she'll leave that for him to find out...]

I probably will, no worrieth.

[He smirks.]

Would you like to learn how to calm him down if he getth too pithed?

[ooh, secrets. Rin grins back]

Sure, why not? ♪

Alright. At the top of hith head uthed to be hornth, right? All you have to do ith thcratch him kind of like a cat right at the top where the bathe of hith hornth would be. If you don't know where that ith, thcratch all around on the top of hith head.

[Sollux doesn't know about how Karkat's back to being a troll just yet. (Because I'm assuming this thread is taking place before he stumbled into Karkat.)]

....

[Scratch his head??? What the hell-]

Seriously...?

No way, you're just trying to get me to do it so I look like a spaz!! ♪

No theriouthly! Why do you think he hath "cat" in hith name? It'th becauthe he'th part cat.

That's the worst logic ever, I'm not buying it! ♪

I'm hith betht friend. If anyone knowth more about him it'th me.

Well, you pet your friend then.

[tsuns this image, it's too cute to be real >:T

but since she's never met him in person, now she's imagining this kawaii uguu catboy Karkat type thing. Damn you, Sollux.]

.... Besides, if he was part cat, wouldn't he ... I don't know, go "Hssss" or something? When he was pissed? ♪

[You're welcome.]

He'th not that much part cat. You thee, all trollth are part thome kind of animalth but it'th not tho much lookth and acthionth, it'th more like thentheth and inthtincth. I'm part bee, by the way.

[Bee.

Rin looks at his sweatervest...]

Yeah, okay. ♪

Yeah, thee? Tho when he getth mad, thcratch him behind hith earth, on the top of hith head, practically anywhere calmth him down.

[... still kind of dubious. But oh well.]

Ah, I've never actually met him in person though, so it probably won't come to that anyway. ♪

You never know. You'll probably end up meeting him in perthon at thome point.

Hmm. It is a small town. ♪

Yeah. You'll meet him.

All right! I'll just stick that strategy in my back pocket then. ♪

[it's never happening. no way. uguu...]

[You know you want to do it Rin.]

Eheheh, good. You'll need it.

Ahahaha. ♪

[NEVER but if she does (you know, hypothetically!!!) and it fails then you're getting chased with a roadroller.]

Well, is there anything else you need to know? ♪
