[Hey, crabby, it's the crazy chick who bugs you now and again, here to keep you talking about that gilled freak you would rather not worry about, asking for more relationship advice.
This is in the strictest of confidences, first of all. I think I need something, but I really don't want to give the wrong impression when I'm doing this, to you or Eridan.
I think some days we're red, some days we're black, and some days I'm trying too god damned hard, and he's always trying too god damned hard because he's overcompensating for something. Seriously, he still irritates me, and he and I are good at arguing with each other, but when we're alone... we end up talking about our feelings way too damned much.
[She's gripping her forehead.]
And seriously... this is the longest fucking relationship I've ever had and I keep waiting to fuck it up royally.
THAT'LL HAPPEN A LOT. IT'S USUALLY MORE COMMON FOR TROLLS THAT ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP AND FEEL DIFFERENTLY ABOUT IT. LIKE IF ONE TROLL IS FEELING MORE FLUSHED WHILE THEIR PARTNER FEELS MORE CALIGINOUS, ONE OF THEM WILL FLIP TO ACCOMMODATE THE OTHER. IT SORT OF JUST HAPPENS.
YOUR SITUATION ISN'T EXACTLY THE SAME, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S UNCOMMON. PLUS YOU PROBABLY THINK MORE LIKE A HUMAN THAN A TROLL, RIGHT? THEY USUALLY ONLY WORK IN THE FLUSHED QUADRANT, SO IT'S PROBABLY NORMAL.
I don't want to think like a demon the more I think like a demon, the worse this gets. But, it's like he matches that part of me without me going too far.
[She groaned and shook her head.]
It's good to know that's not completely crazy, though. I do want to think more like a human, and being a kismesis is ... kind of exhausting sometimes.
But if we're going back and forth, what the hell does that make us?
Is... that ok, though? I mean, I guess I could understand it a little. It's not like I didn't tell him I wasn't going to let him be in another relationship. I'm going to end up doing both sides of this, aren't I?
You... actually think this is ok, like this doesn't need he and I to talk this out or anything? It's not like I have a good frame of reference in relationships.
HONESTLY? I'D BE SURPRISED IF YOU CAME TO A CONCLUSION TALKING IT OUT WITH HIM. IF IT STARTS TO LEAN IN A DIRECTION EITHER OF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH, THEN YEAH. TALK HIS FUCKING FIN OFF.
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT GOOD IT'S GOING TO DO. IT'D BE DIFFERENT IF IT'S INTERFERING WITH OTHER RELATIONSHIPS, BUT YOU TWO DON'T HAVE ANY FLUSHED LOVERS, RIGHT?
No, I'm pretty much only with him Karkat. That other side of me would ... well, she'd lie with anyone if she wanted to, but that side of me doesn't care about relationships. Me, I never thought I'd be with anyone in the first place. I don't want more than one, so I guess you're right.
It's just really fucked up, but it's not getting in the way of anything.
Sometimes, sometimes. You don't know all of my track record. I shouldn't be let near people this way, but he wants to put up with it, and I think he finally understands what he's gotten into at least a little.
...
That reminds me, though. Need to pick something up.
I think we've agreed we don't need it just yet, and I'm a little nervous about actually risking letting myself do that intentionally because of that track record, but there's a possibility, so... [You're babbling Samantha.]
Should probably buy a bucket to leave in the bedroom closet. Don't actually own one.
Do you guys prefer decorating them, or just a plain metal bucket good?
[She was, partially, aware of exactly how inappropriate this whole conversation had just gotten in the last two seconds. However, she also didn't give a fig since she'd just up and said that much anyway.]

Ok, so...
God...
Humans aren't good at troll relationships are they?

SO, THIS IS A HUMAN-QUADRANT PROBLEM THEN?
