Who| Cuthbert and Open
What| Making poor decisions as he so often does
Where| Out and about in the arena
When| Now
Warnings/Notes| None now

Cuthbert and Karkat have been keeping each other safe and watching each other's backs. They're running lower on supplies now and Cuthbert has gotten more bold and venturing further and further away. He's carrying a knife and a somewhat unnerving smile and he's leaping out at anything he thinks he can scare or kill out of any good supplies.

To be fair, he's jumped out several times at things that weren't alive.

Fuck, that doesn't seem to have worked. "I was papping you," he says, awkwardly. "I thought... fuck, I don't know. That you needed it, maybe. You're so fucking tense all the time. Shooosh," he adds and he does it again, a little more firmly. Might as well see if it'll work better as a proper shooshpap.

"How would you like it if I papped you?"

He's irritable, and while it is nice to have people care about him, this isn't really the time. The worst part is, he knows if he wasn't hunting people down this would be a nice, tender moment. So for the sake of clearing things up with his sidekick he sighs and stops where he is.

"Let's just stay here and clear our heads for a bit. Neither of us are in the right mood for the task at hand."

Karkat sighs too. "I wouldn't mind," he admits. "Maybe it's cheating on Signless, but he's cheating with the Disciple, so it's fair. And maybe... shit, I don't know, I kind of think you need someone to take care of you more right now than you need someone to have hate makeouts with."

This is absolutely the worst time to have this conversation. Good job, Karkat.

Talking about cheating on your significant other, even if they're not intimate in the way Cuthbert thinks they could be, is not the best way to start a conversation.

"You don't have to hate me when we make out. I would not mind that. But if papping you will make you quiet, then I'll do it."

Congratulations, Karkat, Cuthbert is actively trying to flirt right now. Even if it ends with an arm around the smaller troll and a friendly lean.

Oh man, that's kind of nice. For a human, Cuthbert is doing pretty good with the whole showing pale affection thing. Karkat lets himself lean against him. "Yeah, I know. I just..."

Then he shrugs. He just feels really pale for you right now, Cuthbert. Sorry.

"Shoosh." And he smacks Karkat on the forehead, harder than he knows he's supposed to. But he wants his partner to be quiet, and more pap means more quiet, right?

"Just don't talk for a bit."
