[Late. This was probably the perchfect time to come here! Heehee, well, one of them, at least when she wanted to be alone and just enjoy the water. The darkness of the pond at this time reminded her of the depths she shared with her mother lusus, even if those memories were not all pleasant. It was not as though she didn't like her lusus after all, it was just, a difficult time. But, she was free now! Or kind of free, right? Even if she was pretty much fishnapped.]

[Feferi usually came here late at night, to be alone, or during the afternoon, to not be alone! Those seemed like the best times. Night was the best though. The darkness of the water and area was comforting while being alone, even if she did love a beautiful light day. The dark was better for calm though... it was pretty confusing to be excited about being calm. How weird.]

[She had already been there, in the water, when he arrived. Feferi was actually pretty surprised he took her advice, and just, left him alone for a bit before moving towards the edge of the water a bit away from him, walking out of the calm water. No shaking herself off, nothing, why do that?]

"It's much too pretty to be a waste!" [She says with a smile, looking over the shimmering water. How could he even say that?]

{It's in no way a waste. Why would he ever say that about being by water is beyond me. Seriously Eridan, what the glub.}

1/2

[yerawizarderri]

2/2

[yerawizarderri]

[Eridan hadn't actually noticed Feferi was there at all. So when she spoke, it had definitely frightened him. Though, once that initial surprise had subsided--it was replaced with worry.]

[Karkat didn't want him around her. Even though he was unarmed, and he had no reason to hurt her like he had before, he still knew he shouldn't be around her--but.]

[But it was so nice to see her again. To hear her again and it not be over the stupid SFC.]

[...Maybe Karkat could forgive him for this. Maybe he'd understand.]

W-Well, hi Fef, I didn't expect to see you here so late... But yeah, I guess it is...

It really isn't bad I guess, but still nothin' fuckin' miraculous.

Re: 2/2

[witch_of_life]

[Pft, him freaking out was pretty silly. All she can do is laugh, getting a tad closer but, still remaining a good amount of space away. She crouches down at the lake's edge, looking into the water and running a few fingers in it.]

"I wade this way pretty late sometimes. It's so clamming out here at night."

[She laughs slightly, sighing afterwards. It was more peaceful alone, Eridan came with such tight strings attached, and she could already feel herself getting a little nervous, even with this atmosphere. Oh yeah, Karkat didn't want Eridan near her... That might be why he's kind of freaking out... She glances over to him from the corner of her eye.]

"You know, Crabcatch isn't going to be happy, that you're near me, you cod get in trouuubuuuubble," [Her tone is slightly sing-song as she speaks, a smirk rolling on her face. As much as she liked messing with him, she really didn't feel like getting him in trouble.]

{Even if Karcrab is being a huge glubbing fussyfins aboat this...}

[yerawizarderri]

[Eridan did have to agree, it was pretty clamming calming, it was far enough away from everyone else and while Eridan wasn't a troll for solitude it was kind of pleasant.]

It isn't like I came here seekin' you out. I just decided to take your adwice... So if he gets mad then... Well, so be it.

It isn't like I could or would harm you--again...

[Yeah, there is definitely a defined ridgedness to the Aquarius, he looks uncomfortable--maybe even guilty, but he doesn't comment on it, finds no need. His body language speaking enough for him as is.]

[witch_of_life]

"Hmm, if you say so! I don't want to start anymoor whirlpools for you." [She manages a small smile and stays crouched near the side of the water. Maybe it was nice to see him, even if he was kind of putting her on edge. I mean, he DID kill her, and that is a pretty crazy thing. She might even be subconsciously keeping distance because of it. Death was a normal thing for trolls, but it wasn't like she wanted that. And it was kind of sad to think that they had to take his wand away to make him easier to be around... Like they couldn't just BE around him normally, they had to be on edge now.]

{This whale thing is pretty glubbing dumb. I like that it's diffcurrent, but, why do I feel like it's not good like this either? Glub..}

"What otter things have you done here? Besides wade about in your apartment?" [Small smile, looking over to him now. He looks pretty sunken from her... Probably thinking about what he did, what he would do.]

{What a messed up situation this is...}

[yerawizarderri]

It wouldn't be you startin' it so don't worry. [It'd definitely be him who didn't leave. That wouldn't be any fault of hers. Though, even as he glances at her, he doesn't crack a smile, only frowns more. He remembers what she looked like, lifeless with a hole gaping in her chest--that was the last memory of her he had before coming here. The image was still burned into his mind and the guilt that accompanied it forever there as well. He was glad, fucking THANKFUL that his bubble merely said the words he thought and didn't show images. Because that painful memory had no words, none at all, okay maybe it did.]

I'm sorry...

Not much really. Mainly just trollin' people on the network and I'we wander a bit, went to the Nostalgia Nook once. But really, I just fuckin' stay holed up in my hiwe.

I'm too scared to actually face anyone, what would they do to me? After what I did, I mean I guess I wouldn't really blame the for what they could do...

[witch_of_life]

"Whale that's no fun!"

{ All that albalone time just makes it easier to dwell on the bad. Kind of a waste of time all together is you ask me.}

[But glub this fussing! This is no way for an Empress to be to act! Feferi stands up with a nod, turning on her heels to look at him, a stern look on her face as she walks to him, all guts, not holding back. She stands infront of him now, hands on her hips, head held high. She wondered... if Eridan only showed this sad side to her? It was really pitiful to be honest, especially for someone she knew had so much hate, or at least it seemed like he had so much hate! But this minnow infront of her just looked lost, away from his school, a tiny fish in a big ocean, and it was just sad.]

"Okay, first things first."

{Because wow, you reely need it.}

[She lifts his head a little with a hand and smiles at him for a moment, before wiping a hand back, trying to give a firm smack on his cheek.]

"Because just glubbing around isn't working! You need to get some sense knocked into you! And apparently violence and yelling is the only way to get through to you... even if I hate both of them. All this blubbering is only going to make more problems for you! Believe me, I would know, I was your moirail at one time after all! You need to stop focusing on all the carp you did and start growing up!"

"If anyone should be carping and carping aboat this, it should be me! I don't need to be reminded of it everytime I sea you!"

{It's hard enough not to think aboat it on my own, come on!}

[yerawizarderri]

[Eridan doesn't bring his gaze to her even as she approaches him. When she touches his face though, he sort of just jumps slightly, his eyes wide with surprise and now he's just staring at her. He tries, tries to smile back at her, but it's a piss poor attempt. Not to mention a moment later he's getting slapped. Again, his eyes wide with surprise and really? Shock. She just, hit him. She just fucking slapped him.]

[He stares at her incredulously. Unable to comprehend the fact that really just fucking happened. Though, despite this, he does listen to what she has to say. All of it was true, all of it. He knew this, but he couldn't help it. He just naturally was a brooder and no matter how much someone told him to stop doing it--it didn't make it any easier.]

I know, I know. It's just.. It's hard Fef, despite you tellin' me not to, I can't help it.

I just feel so guilty about what happened...

[witch_of_life]

[She sighed, a hand going to pat the side of his face a few times where she had hit him and she backed up a bit, going to sit in the shallow area of the lake's edge, her hands grabbing her ankles as she sat cross legged, a small smile still on her face. She stared at the water for a moment before looking back at Eridan with a weary expression.]

"I guess you just need to swim at your own pace then, even if it is reely glubbing slow." [She shrugged with a weary sigh, looking back at the water. This topic was going no where. If he wanted to vent, was she the person to do it to? No...That was Karkat now right? That was good, for the most part, right? I mean, Karkat was stable, except for his little anger problem. Though, she couldn't help think that Karkat being Eridan's moirail just didn't sound right. They both seemed too volatile for it. But it wasn't her place to say obviously, so she just smiled and watched the water.]

{I'm pretty sure it's not might plaice to be glubbing aboat feelings here. It's not REELY my position anymoor, shouldn't Crabcatch be helping him through this problem? Hmm..} [Guess she was going to think it though, OH WHALE. Fef isn't really one for censorship anyways.]

"I never asked! How is the kismesisship going? I was a little too fussy earlier to glub aboat it, but I'd like to know if it is going whale, heehee, glub."

[Change subject, I think yes. IF Eridan needs to dwell on the other subject more, he can, even if he shouldn't be trying to get better with Karkat's help.]

[yerawizarderri]

[He can't help but just stare at her, same expression on his features as she pats him and then backs up and takes a seat. He watches her, standing there awkwardly. Things were so awkward now, she was still treating him the same way, just being same ol' Fef, but things had changed between them, things were different despite how she was treating him like he did some small offense. Even, she even was trying to help him feel better.]

[He doesn't reply to her, just stands there looking away from her. It was obvious that talking about this wasn't going to do much--it was even more so obvious that Fef just wanted to move on and really, he should too. But he couldn't. Shit wasn't that easy. Though, her thoughts doesn't help anything either. He didn't want to be a burden to her, he already was one once after all.]

[He snaps out of his train of thought and stares at her, letting it register and being sort of appreciative for a subject change.]

Oh. It's goin' better than anythin' Wris and I ewer had. Shit is the fuckin' exemplary a blackom.

[There was a bit of bitterness to his voice, but he didn't notice it, thought he did a good enough job covering it up.]

Ewen though Sol seems more interested in other things...

[Of course, his thoughts didn't help shit.]

[witch_of_life]

[Fef is many things, but dumb isn't one of them. She might be naive, but she certainly had a good head on her shoulders. She lifts and eyebrow in his direction as she stand sup, putting her hands on her hips, still facing out to the water, her face turned with attention to her fishy company.]

{He knows I can sea his thoughts right?}

"You know I can sea what you're thinking Eridan, and even if I codn't, it's pretty obvious your kind of lying to me. Not very nice at aalll." [She shakes her head with a slight laugh. If he didn't want to talk about it fine, but say that, seriously. She thought he knew better of her, reely Eridan.]

"Besides, you know Sollux tends to alwhales have his mind in two plaices at once. It's just who he is."

[yerawizarderri]

[He knew but there wasn't much he could do about it really. He eyes her, eyes her posture and sighs. As much as he did show his more pouty side to Fef, he still did try and keep from the ol' feelings talk with her. So he'd lie and be terrible at it and she;d question and he'd try to avoid it. Just like old times.]

Yeah I know, this stupid thing is a piece a bloody rubbish. I'm--I'm not tryin' to lie to you--okay I am but it's not to out right deceiwe you. I just don't want to burden you with my problems, alright?

[He lets out an annoyed grunt at the mention of a certain mustard blood. Crossing his arms over his chest and looking away with a pout. Looking much like a wriggler who didn't get his way.]

The asshole should at the WERY fuckin' least hawe one a those plaices be me, though... Fuckin' disgustin' mustard blood, he's good for fuckin' nothin'!

[witch_of_life]

"Yeah, I guess you can reely be a burden with how crazy your emoceans can be, heehee. You reely should conchsider addressing that issue." [Feferi said with a smirk and a smug laugh, rolling her eyes to top it all off. He really was such a wiggler still, wasn't he?]

{Ugh, maybe, if you were a bit more mature Eridan...} [She stopped, watching the words form in the bubble, whoa mental ramblings being visible was not good for that random train of thought, let's discontinue that shall we? She laughs to herself and kicks around the water a bit before smiling widely and sprinting over to him, kicking water up at him.]

"I'd normally say you should be nicer, but, that goes against the whole kismesis thing, doesn't it? Heehee." [It felt good to talk freely about Sollux. It still really sucked, the whole thing, but, just banter not associated with that helped a lot!]

[yerawizarderri]

[He gives her a dry look at that. It wasn't so simple, it wasn't like you can just change a huge part of you overnight or something. He huffs and looks away from her though.]

it isn't like I fuckin' try to be, Fef...

[That stray thought catches his attention though, his glance returning to her as he eyes her curiously--wanting to pry more, but keeping quiet, however his mind doesn't give such a courtesy.]

If I were more mature... What? What then?

[He snarls at the thought bubble, but tries to change the subject quick enough.]

Yeah, bein' nicer isn't the key here--maybe I'm not mean enough... Maybe I should just be a ewen bigger douche to him, or somethin'...

[witch_of_life]

"Oooh, I don't know, if you're too overbearing you'll scare people off again." [She's going to completely ignore his thought bubble as both he and her would both like. There's really nothing to talk about on it since it's never going to happen anyways, and besides, it was just a passing thought. Everyone has those, she was just like everybody else.]

{Glub glub glub glub glub glub glub glub glub, heehee.}

"I think you should reely just talk to him about it. Even if it's the black quadrant, it's STILL about emoceans and still an intimate thing, so you have to be able to talk to the otter perchson about problems your having! Just like in the red quadrant. You just have to make sure you don't say too much. Heehee, saying too much is for an entirely different quadrant all together."

{Ugh, quadrants. They're just so confusing and full of nothing but depressing shenanigills anywhales.

I guess I miss them though...glub.

Even if they just lead to more and more douchefinnery.} [She sneers, swatting at her thought bubble and shoving it being her, it being full of angry glubs now as she drowns out her thoughts.]
