If Vriska hadn't been distracted with her roommate going through her stuff, she most definitely would have popped out of that door to say hello. But that had provided a bit of a distraction, and more importantly, she'd been able to take a few minutes to get her act together. It went without saying that she was of two minds about actually meeting John; on the one hand, she was honestly happy to see him, but on the other? She had a way of sabotaging most all of her friendships one way or another

John would have really liked it if he hadn't been startled. If he had been able to sit up from the couch calmly, it could have made the rest of this interaction easier as a direct result. He was sure of it. Instead, his movements felt jerky and unsure. Should he get up casually? Jump up quickly to show excitement? Did any of it really matter

Vriska wasn't expecting that startle. Sure, if she'd come in doing an acrobatic pirouette, it might have been cause for John to start. But so far as she knew, saying 'hi' was an appropriate form of human greeting. Humans sure were weird.

But none of that really mattered. She really would have poked fun at him had she known he'd been worrying over what to do just then. She was just about to ask if a fierce felinebeast had caught his tongue, but fortunately, that wasn't necessary.

It was hard to admit that maybe Karkat had freaked him out a little. And maybe trolls were a little scary, considering they were aliens who thought it was okay to kill people, but then just like a human should, they felt bad about it afterwards. Or at least Vriska had started to, and John had believed her. Still believed her.

Even though having everyone (well, not everyone, he thought sadly) here was making him kind of jumpy, it was really reassuring. Now he could just be nervous about dumb stuff, like was Rose going to be just like she was online? Was Vriska poisonous? Would they watch any Nic Cage films with him? Well, actually, he probably knew the answer to that last one.

"You always feel pretty lucky," he said, and waved both his hands at her as if to blow away the doubt that Vriska could be anything but lucky. "Now I can be lucky by association,
