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. ]

[ 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!

[alienates]

I know it's te amo!!

[appraiser]

see, it's not that hard to write out in spanish, is it?
english is just three words instead of two
though i guess "love you" also works

[alienates]

Ok but not everyone knows Spanish here.
You could say it and probably get away without people knowing what the fuck you just said to them.
