I would have been your friend!

[selfhatred]

You were my third friend actually. [He shrugged a little.] John introduced us.

[quarkylass]

Good. [ She seems pleased by this! And she finally stops ogling enough to walk forward again. ] So, where is this other Jade? What House is she in?

[selfhatred]

[He waits for her to catch up before turning to walk again.]

She's in Ravenclaw, the smart House. [He bites his bottom lip.] We actually dated for a little while.

[quarkylass]

Ravenclaw... [ Considers this! Until that other thing happens, then she turns a little red. ] Oh! Are you not any more?

[selfhatred]

[His own face is a little red.]

Nah. Long story short, I...punched Dave in the face for making Tavros cry and we broke up.

[quarkylass]

You shouldn't punch people, that's mean! [ Though Dave was equally mean, to make Tavros cry... ] But it must have been really bad, if she broke up with you.

[selfhatred]

[Well there was a whole lot of background to the story so it's not quite how he says it is.]

She punched me too if it makes you feel better. We made up but she's dating Dave.

[quarkylass]

[ Hehe okay that makes Jade giggle. ] That sounds like something I would do! I'm dating Dave, too.

I'm sorry it didn't work out, Karkat.

[selfhatred]

[He scuffs his sneaker against the floor.]

I guess even when I'm an alien I'm always second best to Strider.

[quarkylass]

[ She stops, and puts her hands on his shoulders. ]

Don't say that! You're not second best to anybody. You're a hero, and my friend, and even though we aren't dating, you found someone who would take even better care of you than I would. And even though our universes aren't the same, I am pretty sure that there are tons of people who would like you that way! You just have to give them a chance.

[selfhatred]

[He bites his bottom lip before bowing his head with a small smile. He had found someone, but he still wasn't sure if they were official or not. And he and Dave had talked their differences out and were sort of tentative friends at best.]

Thanks, Jade. [What else did you say to a pep talk like that?]
