It was funny how Terezi was thinking the exact same thing when she stepped into Suite 7. She wouldn't have to worry about trolls bothering her or busybodies ripping off her door, or anything of the sort. No one was going to come here. It was too soon, too fresh. But she wanted to be here. She had to taste the finality of it herself. It didn't seem real otherwise.

She was careful when she stepped into the suite common room. She wouldn't make the same mistake as last time... Jegus, that felt so long ago. But Vriska's door was open and she didn't catch the troll's scent in that room. Maybe she was out. Terezi didn't really care.

At least not until she came to Karkat's open door and found that very same troll sitting on the bed. On the bed. Like she had every right to be there. Terezi hovered in the doorway, caught between a mix of surprise and outrage at Vriska being there and the grim realization that the room was strikingly empty with nothing but that mundane furniture ( ... )

Not feeling like being confrontational was turning into the norm for Vriska. She didn't like it. But this wasn't the time or place to get in a fight, and even if it were, she probably would have lost. Terezi, she realized as she looked up and over at the new arrival, could definitely take her. Karkat was just an annoyance for Vriska. A fun, angry, squeaky toy for her to play with. He kept her in line, sure, but he was practically prey whenever she got a free minute. Terezi...

Terezi was different. She had different feelings for him, and Vriska had different feelings about her. Every path getting into a fight led down was a bad one. That was the real bottom line. So Vriska just sat there, not raising her voice, not sounding any more depressed than usual. Just talking. Like a normal, civilized person.

"You're not the only one who misses him."

She wanted to laugh. At what, Terezi wasn't sure. It was either the thought of Vriska missing someone at all, or the implication that Vriska had any inkling of what she was feeling. How could she even compare them? She couldn't, that's how. She could never understand.

"You can go miss him in your own room." There was an edge to that sentence, one that Terezi hadn't wanted to be there. She was trying so hard to keep emotion out of this. It just wasn't working as well as she was used to.

Vriska wanted really badly to have a snappy comeback to that. But she couldn't even manage a regular hollow one. There wasn't really a reason for her to be here but at the same time there was every reason. You don't create a universe with someone without getting attached at least a little.

Instead of replying, she moved over to the far end of the bed, giving Terezi more than enough room to sit down if she so chose. Vriska wasn't going to leave yet. She wasn't ready.
