[Tavros coughs as he takes a drag from the cigarette. It's not nearly as bad as when he first smoked, but it still burns his throat quite a bit, and then he takes another drink from his vodka- which makes him cough a bit more, because the burn from both combined was pretty intense.]

K-Karkat, no-cough- don't, uh...I-cough-, I mean we came to get away from all that, uh, st-stuff. Don't talk about her!

[Another drink from the vodka because Jade. And feelings. And he's just a little too happy that they actually broke up- which makes him feel bad. But also oddly proud because he had sort of caused it. But mostly bad. And then he's coughing again because he took another drag from the cigarette.]
