Wow you must have really liked him! All that concern for your fellow troll is coming close to making me weep.

No idea how long it's been. I was in the clinic for over a week and hadn't seen him since before I got hurt.

I never really hated him. If I did, I wouldn't have been living with him. But he was definitely a handful.

I'm okay, yes. I've said it before, but what's another scar for the road, right? No permanent damage beyond the aesthetic, I should consider myself lucky. I still have no idea what happened with Gamzee though.

Thanks for worrying, but I'm fine this time. It was a close call, though. That's what they told me.

He seemed fine though. And then he saw me and went berserk. I can't help thinking it was somehow something I did.

Just... venting, I guess. No pressure to offer theories of your own if you don't actually have any. But I thought that asking a troll might be a good idea.

Don't worry, I don't plan on becoming a corpse any time soon.

I wasn't doing anything, though. Just walking down the street, listening to music. It seemed completely random. I'd ask him why he did it, but... no.

Are you humoring me or do you really mean that?

hell iif ii know.

[couragemantra]

How do you NOT know?

No. Never mind. I'm a little scared, yes. I'm hesitant to speak with Gamzee after what he did. Extenuating circumstances or not, he still did something that nearly killed me. He's lucky I'm not angry or terrified of him or both. As it is, I'm just scared.

Nothing is wrong with that. You're right, and even if you are humoring me I can agree with it.

Quick to admit we're scared? Not all of us. There's no harm in my doing so to you, though.

Thanks. I think it will too.
