[The anger that boils up all over again at having someone insult him and tell him off is tempered by confusion. Karkat's never talked to him like this, even when he was annoyed with Gamzee. The redhead had always seemed slightly disturbed by the taller boy, which was a pretty common reaction, really. It bothered the Slytherin, for some reason he couldn't really pin down, but what could he do about it?

But what was this?]

Ain't nobody gonna get in trouble. [He took a few steps closer, chin tipped up as he looks down at Karkat.]

Why you even talking to me, motherfucker?
