So you're scared, right? Geeeez, you don't need to be scared. You can just hold onto me and I'll lead!

[selfhatred]

[Karkat just gives her a deadpanned stare.]

You're kidding, right?

[selfmakeout]

Why would I kid about something like that? Do I look like someone that jokes around about helping out?

[selfhatred]

For all I fucking know there's an ambush of merpeople under that shitton of ice. It's only a spell so who knows how long it'll take to wear off.

[Yep, he's worked himself up with all these theories. You're probably going to have to get his skates on him yourself and drag him out there, Jade.]

[selfmakeout]

Okay, fine. Then we will just have to take that risk together!

[Luckily that is exactly what she is going to do.

Right now.

This is the last time a girl will ever kneel in front of Karkat.]

It's okay, I know CPR.

[selfhatred]

[He blinks when she kneels in front of him, wondering what the hell she was going to do.]

What the fuck does CPR have to do with anything? The fucking squid will get to us before you could even fucking pull me to shore.

[selfmakeout]

[OFF goes the shoe ON goes the skate, LIKE CLOCKWORK or however that goes.]

Noooo, don't you even get on that you big baby. Feferi told me all about the squid, he's actually really friendly!

[selfhatred]

[He's half tempted to shove at her with his other foot.]

Just because Feferi told you doesn't mean it's fucking true!

[selfmakeout]

Are you saying Feferi is a liar? Because I am more inclined to believe Feferi on the friendliness of something than you.

[LACES TIED. Second skate is going on!]

Just what the fuck do you have against having fun?

[selfhatred]

Maybe because I fucking hate water? Did you ever think of that, Harley?

[He doesn't reach to undo the laces though.]

[selfmakeout]

Then it's a good thing this is ice!

[Tug! Laces are done, let's go upsies, Karkles!]

Come on, follow my lead, try not to squirm around like a moron.

[selfhatred]

[Too bad for you, Jade, he's going to squirm. The skates feel weird and heavy okay?]

Ice is still water based, shit for brains.
