Karkat Vantas shared a photo. 3/24 near Apprassage

You are goddamn welcome, everyone.
At least now, no matter what kind of a shitstained day you've been having, you can say you saw newborn kittens.

[ timeline-wise this is a little later in the afternoon, so like for high schoolers it'd be after school ends for the day, etc. ]

lol i love Anya's kindness, i think she's wonderful too
but there are many nice people in the world!
you might be one of them!

[alienates]

[ karkat also thinks she's wonderful but he is not gonna admit that to someone he just met, SO ]

I am apparently difficult to get along with so
Whatever.
This whole conversation has been exhausting I can't imagine what it would have been like in person.

[appraiser]

i think you're easy enough to get along with
talking to you has been fun!
in person, it might be over coffee or pastries
much more relaxing
if you ever want to meet up and try

[alienates]

[ karkat almost types out no but then stops

he is genuinely curious about ryoji at this point because. holy shit. how can someone this nice even exist? ]

You know what?
Sure.
I'll take you up for some pastries.

[appraiser]

[ on a scale from zero to Anya, Ryoji's up there on the higher end... ]

yay~
what day are you free? i can meet you wherever
let's get trubochki!!

[alienates]

Sunday but more importantly
Trubochki??????

[appraiser]

sunday date, alright! ヾ(´▽｀*)ﾉ
trubochki is a cream horn! if you've never eaten it before, i *have* to take you to try it!
we also need to find a shop with palmier! and stroopwafel!

[alienates]

[ karkat is friends with too many people who call just hanging out "dates" so he does not blink at that. ]

I have no idea what those things are either.
They sound pretty fake??

[appraiser]

lol they're not fake, delicious is what they are
google if you want to know, otherwise, be pleasantly surprised on sunday when we go out!

[alienates]

[ he immediately googles it because he's nosy and impatient. ]

Yeah sure.
I'll even bring you more pictures of the cats because I'm so nice.

[appraiser]

the nicest!!! you're the best! i love you!

[ no take backs ]

[alienates]

Alright so new rule
Never say that to me again?
But besides that ok.

[ yea karkat's gonna die ]

[appraiser]

okay! i promise! which part?

[alienates]

The love you part.
That has been officially banned from here on out, we have just virtually shook our hands over this.

[appraiser]

...i won't take back a promise, but
that's such a shame, no other words encompass the emotion as fully and directly as love

[alienates]

Well
It's really embarrassing to hear??
How is it possible to just throw around I love yous like that??

[appraiser]

it's pretty easy?
here, you can try it on me

[alienates]

lafkslfksalfjsls;jfs
We are not having a practice session!

[appraiser]

( •︵• )
we could do it in person, that might be easier

[alienates]

You could literally look me in the face and say that without your bowels immediately imploding after the first syllable?
In person would be a lot more mortifying, dude.

[appraiser]

yes
the first syllable is "I"
you can do it
i believe in you

[alienates]

I know what the first syllable is!!
Look, I just said it there. And I did it again.
I am a goddamn master of the first word of this sentence.

[appraiser]

good! you're doing great, Karkat! keep going!
next syllable is "love"!

[alienates]

[ at this point karkat is just feeling challenged?? he needs to prove himself here. ]

LOVE
Shit, I'll bring in some Spanish.
AMOR
Wow, look at that!!!

[appraiser]

[ karkat is exceeding all of ryoji's expectations today and he is delighted ]

don't forget the conjugation
it's "amo"
¡te amo!
