Had Feferi and Sollux really gone home, only to get dragged back to the station? What if Fef was right about the station being an afterlife of sorts? There were far too many questions and no answers in sight.
Well, maybe he'd discuss it with Feferi if she still wanted to have that talk he'd promised.

Sollux should have expected that. After the things that had happened neither of them seemed to want to do more than hold on to each other. He'd been terrified that he would wake up and find Feferi gone.
After a while he'd stopped trying to sleep, and then Dave had made him that offer. Well. Okay then. That worked. He wasn't sure if they'd left enough of a trail for Eridan to follow, even if he'd been as careful as he could when he wasn't that collected, so it was better to find another hideout to lie low in for the moment, wasn't it?
Besides. Dave reminded him a little of Karkat, and with his best friend gone he needed someone to bro with after all of this had happened.
So here they were at Casa del Strider, and here he was knocking on the door, looking around anxiously as he waited for one of said Striders to open it.

She stayed pretty close to Sollux, and probably would for a while. "Terezi will be ok, right?"

It's cool. I got this. It's cool.
He really shouldn't do this to himself. They weren't his kid. Kids. Whatever. They were some weird alien douches from another session and fuck if he was gonna be father to all of them. Bad enough having to take care of one kid. Bad enough having to be guardian to four.
But he couldn't help it. Aloof ironic douchenozzle though he made himself out to be, he cared. And caring meant that when they started murdering each other it tore him up inside.
He breathed, and then a few minutes later the coolkid persona was back. Glasses back on his face, everything was totally motherfuckin chill around here. This shit was fuckin Quebec in January levels of absolute chill is what it was.
He was already opening the door by the second knock.
"Sup," he said.

Satisfied for the moment that he'd gotten most of the ones in plain sight, Dave slammed the door shut, mashing it in until he heard the handle click. There. Hopefully, nobody would try and get this thing open. Ever.
Now, all that was left was to greet their visitors. Ambling back out into the main room, suit on and everything, Dave raised a single hand in greeting.
"Yo."

Of course she doesn't make a move until Sollux does, one hand holding the side of his shirt loosely.

He nodded a silent greeting to the trolls, taking note of Feferi's shakiness.

"Uh. Hey. Thup." He raised a hand in awkward greeting. What else were you supposed to say under these circumstances? Gee, thanks for sheltering a couple of young trolls from a murdering genocidal hipster douche? Whatever.

...fuck, he'd already slipped into the fish puns. Mentally berating himself (come on, that can't have counted, it wasn't even intentional), he gave Feferi a thumbs up before turning to Sollux. "Namuch. Chilling, same as usual."
This was already incredibly awkward.

However, he didn't waste much time on that before turning his attention back to the trolls. "Uh, do you guys need any special arrangements for sleeping? I think I remember Vriska talking about slime or something."
Please don't say you want to sleep in a bathtub full of jello. That was just Vriska being her crazy drunk self, right?

"Uh, FF, why don't you make thure everything lookth okay in our room or whatever it ith? I don't really care, but you...I'll jutht, uh, talk over thome thtuff with Dave. You can call me if you need me, I'll be right here."
Gently he dislodged himself from her, and immediately felt paranoia that something would happen to her kick in. He ignored it and headed into the kitchen.
Reply
"Ok! Have a very cool talk!" She says, watching him head to the kitchen before awkwardly remembering she was just kind of standing there. Awkwardly. In a cool house, this was unacceptable guest behavior.
"Um, right! Hey this isn't too much trouble, is it?" Feferi looks over at Davesprite, tilting her head. "It wouldn't be very civil if it was- hey, do you guys like fish? I can totally catch some!" Ramble, ramble, at least she was trying to pull her own weight around here?
Reply
He opened the door to what was usually Dave's room. "Come on, let's see if you can fit your stuff in here." While it wasn't voiced, the offer of a chance to talk in private was present too.
Reply
She follows and walks into the room, glancing around. Seeing as Sollux's recuperacoon was more upright it probably took up a bit less floor space than a normal bed. "This will be great! Sollux's recuperacoon will fit no problem." Not so sure about hers as well but hey, they could share. At the moment that's what she preferred anyway.
Feferi fidgets a bit, stopping her hand from going up to her chest. She kept wanted to check that there wasn't a hole there, it was pretty stupid in her eyes. She glances back at Dave, filling up the awkward quota.
"Could-" She pauses, frowning. "If you are- you know, if Jack did do it, would you be happy living here you think?"
Reply
"I don't know. I mean, the place is kind of cool so I guess I'd be okay with living here. But..."
He hesitated. This wasn't really the time to talk about his personal issues. He was here to comfort Feferi, not the other way around.
"But it might take some time to get used to the idea," he finished lamely.
Reply
"It's kind of hard to say when we don't know exactly where we'd be otherwise." Feferi responds, playing with one of her bracelets. "I mean, I think I know where I'd be if I weren't here, I don't know about you though. You or your brother."
