Hey, this is Vriska! I'm ignoring my PCD right now. Leave me a message and if I like you enough, I'll get back to you!

[combatking]

Do you guys have a safe place to go?

[dicey]

We're just staying at the house. It's pretty safe, and big. Huge.

[combatking]

[Somehow his mind is not eased.]

Alright. Is it alright if I come help you guys bunker down over there?

[dicey]

Yeah, sure. Of course.

[combatking]

Great. I will be over in a bit. Sorry if I sound like a worry wart.

[dicey]

I'm glad you're coming. I'm going to wait on the porch.

[combatking]

:*
I'm glad you're glad. I'll be there shortly!

[dicey]

Ok.

[and true to her word, she'll be on the porch when he shows up]

[combatking]

[And true to his word he would be there shortly. Jogging up waving, he has a pretty bright smile on for someone who's worried as heck.]

Hey! ...so.. at least it's not rainin' blood, huh?

[dicey]

[she shrugs, avoiding looking at his face]

Hey.

[combatking]

You alright? Ugh that's a dumb question, who is right now?

[dicey]

You should probably come inside.

[combatking]

I'm alright with that.

[He starts to wander in.. but stops a moment.] Karkat's here too, right? There's only 3a you guys here.. soo.. I figure your horns are gonna be a little.. high demand.

[dicey]

Flying helps. I'm wearing my rocketboots whenever I go over to the temple.

[combatking]

Awesome! Man.. this's like the Mall all over again..

[dicey]

I hope not. I died in the mall.

[combatking]

[His face twinges. Quickly he looks away, scratching his neck.] Yea.. I remember.. well.. this time I won't just be sitting by idly outside. ..I wanna keep you safe, ok?

[dicey]

Me too.

... I want to keep you safe too, I mean.

[combatking]

Thanks. [Smiling at her, then embracing her, he hopes she can't feel the concerned anxious look on his face.]

Can't wait til this shit blows over.

[dicey]

[she leans against him]

Whatever. We're used to this stuff.

[combatking]

Heh, yea. I think that's the best part. I'm just usedta being surrounded by other soldiers y'know? You an' Karkat're pretty formidable, but I kinda worry a lot about Hanna.

[dicey]

Hanna's more formidable than he looks.

[combatking]

Oh good.. 'cause somea the others 'round here..

[dicey]

Yeah.

[she pulls away and heads into the living room, moving some paper-- turned upside-down so whatever's on the other side isn't visible-- and pencil stubs off the couch for Zell]

[combatking]

[Following her in, he's cautious, remembering that one or more of the couches is trapped. Moving cushions around yields none of those dastardly Smiley's, so he sits right down. The pencils and paper hint at a few things.. but..]

Writin' letters?
