[Karkat hadn't been feeling well all day.

Since he had made the mistake of getting breakfast, he hasn't been able to get the sweet taste of coconut and chocolate out of his mouth. If there was one thing Karkat hated, it was sweet foods. The taste on his tongue was making his skin crawl, making him feel much warmer than he rightfully should have felt.

Or maybe it was something else. Even the Thief of Heart wasn't quite sure what was disturbing him to the point that his fingers felt like the were tingling. The feeling was moving through his limbs as the day went on and he was strangely alert. Nerves. Had to be nerves. Considering who had just arrived in the Tower, it was no wonder really.

Either way, Karkat began to pick at his own lip with his spider-like fangs, tongue sliding across them in thought as he rounded the corner.]

[Karkat promptly releases her as if he's been burned, taking a step or two backwards and holding his hands up.]

...you wanna run that by me again? I mean--nevermind. You should probably be back in your room.

[gloomyapoplectic]

[She pouts a little -- which is not really a thing that Kanaya Maryam does -- and stands to compensate for the distance that Karkat has put between them.

Oh, here's a thought.] Do you really want me to go back alone? It's a long way up.

[There's the elevator, but she'd still have to go back down to the ground level to get to it. And she's not supposed to be wandering by herself.]

[caliginous]

Don't be stupid, I'll walk you there. Jesus, you're so needy.

[Guess who's trying really hard to ignore that pout? God, its making his stomach turn. He has to fight not to roll his eyes.]

[gloomyapoplectic]

[The smile returns after Karkat consents to being her escort.]

You are the one that told me I'm not supposed to be by myself. [As she says this, she closes much of the distance to him again, reaching a hand up to absently brush out his jacket along his shoulder and sleeve. Not that it was exactly wrinkled in the first place.]

[caliginous]

[What the fuck did they do to her?

He's convinced now that this has something to do with the Tower, or someone's idea of an extremely sick joke. He flinches a bit when he feels her hand on his arm, but forces himself to relax.

Hey. This was still Kanaya, right? He wasn't actually in any danger here, especially since she was wading knee deep in his territory.

...right?]

Nevermind. Come on.

[gloomyapoplectic]

[He'd probably do well to remember that this is the same girl that's mercilessly killed dozens of FLARPers (in her own defense but without much remorse anyways). And their universe's Terezi. Even if that one came with a lot of regrets.

She follows, but not before making an attempt to thread her arm under his and hook it with her elbow.

Hey, it's how classy guys should escort a lady.]

[caliginous]

[He's not as enthusiastic to return the gesture, but he does eventually wrap his arm up to secure her's in his own. Habit.

Either way, he's on his way leading her back to her room...uncomfortable.]

So. What've you been doing all day?
