[It takes a while for Terezi to absorb what she's sensing. That flash of rainbow didn't help. He's all upside down and wrapped up and she's having a hard time figuring out what he is. But colours? Those she can do]
Can't smell anything black. [Licking the screen. It's probably as well he can't see this] Can't taste anything either. Just a lot of vanilla milkshake.
Yeah. I brought my dungeon with me when I turned up here-it was a lot smaller then, but I've been busy. Twelve floors these days. Why? Do you have something against dragons?
[Also shrug! Not that either of them have any idea that they're doing that.]
I dunno about that, and I don't really mind either way.
Absolutely not. My lusus was a dragon. That is just an obscene number of dragons for one person to have.
[She laughs at that]
Good. Then it's decided. We are your gods. And as one of your gods I demand you tell me how you managed to bring an entire dungeon with you. What modus are you even using that allows that?
Well, I've got about two thousand of their eggs in storage too.
[He's mostly showing off now, but who wouldn't?]
I'm not interested in gods, but I'll tell you anyway. My magic allows me to alter time and space. So I just put the cave I started with in a bag and from there, I've been adding locations from places the Thor stops off at.
Actually, my bag is starting to get a little worn, so I think I'll move it into something else soon.
[Showing off or not, Terezi's impressed. She likes you]
I've never heard of someone being able to manipulate time and space before. And I've never met anyone who can captchalogue entire places, either. I think you must be the coolest cool-kid I have ever met.
[Sorry, Dave. You've been overthrown by dragons and great feats. Also, she has at most met/seen two so it's questionable how big a compliment that actually is]
[Aww. His black little heart swells. Despite the odd attempt at showing off, he's actually pretty modest and doesn't get much praise anyway. If it weren't for the fact that his skin is already about as red as it gets he'd be going redder.]
Hehehehe, it's not often anyone says I'm cool! Thanks Miss Troll! The truth is, that's only a fifth of my power, and I'm not really that strong yet; I'm still in training, you know.
[Still in- just give her a moment to process that this isn't the most powerful he'll ever be. Shame about that blush, too, because it would have been tasty]
Terezi Pyrope. [Beat] I like you, Matthew Gravesend. You're fun.
[Okay, now, that causes him to break down into a massive fit of giggles. Normally he would put his hands over his eyes when he gets like that, but with his bandages wrapped up it somehow doesn't seem right so he just ends up waving his arms around a little.
Like maybe three people have ever actually said they like him. The lonely little ten year old is massively starved for affection. He is so happy right now, like for serious.]

[No troll she knows would take kindly to being described as someone else's creature. Perhaps Tavros would. But that's beside the point]
Yes. I've found two so far: Karkat and Nepeta. But if you don't know either of them...how do you know so much?

I told you, didn't I? I'm an expert. I do research.

[Hmm...He's genuine, though. At least, as far as she can tell]
Well, I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised. You know. Seeing as how we made you and all.

[No lies here. Not a one.]
Hah-hah, yeah, right. Just because I'm a child doesn't mean I'm naive, you know.

[The rest of that's flown right out of her head because dragons]
It's true. We played a game and made your world. And then some dumbasses from your world played the same game and ruined things for all of us.
[But there's a hint of affection in her tone as she speaks]

...You know we're almost all from different worlds, right? Entire other universes?

That...that amount of dragons shouldn't be legal. Are they here?
[Casual shrug at that last comment]
Maybe we created all versions of your universe. Maybe they were all different offshoot timelines and that's why they're all being destroyed.
[Saddest thing, she's not even sure if she's serious or not]

Th-hehehe-Thank you, Miss Pyrope. I like you too.

Just Terezi is fine. Although Miss Pyrope does have a certain ring to it...
