Because of our relationship with... others, it's advised for me to keep an eye on him. Knowing where he is and what he's doing -- and Gamzee, by extension -- is enough for me to protect you and the others as well.
I am not friends with him, Harley. Understand that.
Go ahead.

Why do you ask?

[She shouldn't insult him. Rose obviously thinks there's something good about him, right?]
He's horrible.

Yes.
Yes, he is.

Then why do you bother with him? It's almost like... It almost seems like you are friends sometimes. I don't...
[Uggghh.]

Would it be enough if I said that he simply doesn't leave me alone?

No. Because if you really didn't want to talk to him, you wouldn't! I mean... He is on Gamzee's side, and after what Gamzee did to us...

It's difficult to explain, Harley.

Has it been working?
[She's thinking of Sollux, honestly, and all of the other people Gamzee has hurt.]

[ that's all she cares about ]

What about the others? I know you don't care about Karkat, or Sollux. But what about Kanaya? Don't you remember what they did to her?

I will not hold Kanaya's hand. I trust her; she can take care of herself.

Do you know how much she is doing to protect us from them? How can you say that? You should want to help her!
