Vriska Serket, however, had a talent for disruption it seemed.
The man looked up from where he was seated in the man lounge, and nodded the moment he recognized Aradia.
"Hey."

She pauses, looking around the room. If only Roy knew the things Vriska has done in the past. What would the humans do to her? She puts it on her list of things to research about the new society they're living in. But that is not the directive.
"Can I see her now?"

"I'm just doing my job." Roy stood up, then, and headed for the small corridor that branched away from the main office.
"Follow me."

It was safe to say she wasn't expecting guests.

"My quest bed resided elsewhere." She puts it blatantly. If Vriska can't put the puzzle together herself, then she's really gone to the woofbeasts.
Aradia has platonic pity for Roy. She didn't mean to put him in the middle of this, and certainly not to leave him in the dark about their 'situation'. She knew should have warned him about the stares...

"... what." Vriska stared at Aradia in return--a long, flat, rigid stare, with a black edge entailing not disbelief but something more dark and personal. Then she jerked away from the bars, wheeling away to pace the cell for a few seconds.
Then she returned.
"So Jack killed you." There was something odd in her voice, something held back in her harshened tone.

"We both remember who killed me," she starts. Do not let her win. "But he does destroy both Prospit and Derse, so yes."
By extension, this is Vriska's fault. All of it is. Aradia considers thanking her for revival, but she knows that it would only infuriate her more, and that would just put Aradia in more danger. Plus, Vriska never thanked her after she decided to beat the other troll to death.

Vriska crowed. "And now here you are!" She leaned forward. "Alive."
The corners of the blueblood's mouth curled up in a twisted smile. there was something almost desultory about it--something conspiratorial, as though it were shared only between the two of them.
In a way, it was.
