[Fuck's sake, he can't believe he's doing this. But his resonance with the twit is broken, and self-preservation, and nothing else, dictates that Mello fix it before the upcoming mission to Europe. And Gemini, whom he trusts, said this guy was the one to consult about this bullshit.]

KK, right? The one who won't say what sign he is?

[wait what. Karkat kindasorta knows Mello, has seen him around, but he's not too familiar with that whole social circle beyond a vague knowledge that Sollux runs in it these days.

In case it wasn't already clear, the use of Sollux's personal nickname for him gives it away. And pisses him off.]

That's Karkat to you. And I don't have to tell people what my sign is, grubwhiff, it's right on my damn shirt!

[he pauses.]

What do you mean, kismesis issues? Who'd you piss off?

[because he thinks someone misunderstood the explanation of romantic hate, or maybe gave Eridan the wrong idea.]

I've never seen your damn shirt!

[Trolls, honestly. Their paranoia rivals that of Wammy's kids.]

No one, the little twit pissed me off. My partner.

[Because obviously Near started it.

Mello heaves another sigh. In case it wasn't clear that he's only doing this because he has to.]

Gemini said you knew about this shit, and it's clearly an established system in your culture. I'm sure there have to be rules about it, to keep all the trolls from fucking killing each other. Even more than they do.

I don't want to hear any more about hatesex, for christ's sake. [Setting ground rules.] But the troll idea of someone meant to be your rival, fine. That I understand. But mine's trying to sneak around and undermine my friendship with someone else, and it's fucking up our resonance.

[click. hey look, there's a nub-horned jackass on your screen, Mello. he even takes the time to tilt the communicator down slightly so the grey Cancer symbol's nicely framed for a second or two.]

[and then it goes off again. Karkat definitely has things to hide, but his insignia isn't one of them. he's silent as Mello talks, and for a few moments after, taking all this in.]

Well, yeah, our quadrants can get complicated, but most humans aren't emotionally built for that sort of thing. It doesn't just mean someone you dislike or compete against, you know, there's a certain balance to it.

At least Gem-- Sollux did the smart thing for once. I know more about this shit than anyone else you'll ever meet, so it's good you came to me. So tell me some stuff first, what's your relationship with your partner like? And what exactly have they been doing that's got your netherdressings bound so tight you think it's blackrom?

[his tone is still a bit dubious. he's willing to help, but he's not sure he believes you two have found true hate.]
