Four knitted scarves

*the phone picks up mid-conversation, as if it's been knocked off the hook by clumsy teenagers Rose's voice comes from not too far.*

I still cannot believe we are doing this. Enjoyable as it might be, I must admit I still have some reservations about it.

Rose, I assure you your reservations are wholly misplaced. I have done this many, many times before, and it has ...almost always resulted in the full enjoyment of all involved parties.

*Rose scoffs a little, but wait, was that a hint of a giggle underneat?* I will give that much to you; you are quite skilled with your hands. I stand here jealous at this discovery...this is really nice though.

*There's the sound of shifting, and Kanaya almost sounds as though she has something in her mouth when she speaks next.* Sweeps of practice have rendered my digital manipulators quite dextrous, yes - and I'm quite pleased to hear that you're finding this to your liking. But as promised, no word of this liason shall ever pass my lips.

If I may ask you to hold as still as possible, Rose? This next part will be rather tight.


While I graciously accepted your request to lend myself to your ways, I must admit I haven't grown to like the fact you are handling me like a rag do-

*Rose's complain is cut as she gasps, and then speaks in a rather mortified tone*

That is...rather tight. My back will be reminding me of this with unforgiving soreness later

*And for her part, Kanaya does sound very apologetic.* I'm quite sorry, but I believe it's for the best to handle the worst of the discomfort at the beginning. I give the full weight of my word that it will be exponentially more agreeable - even satisfying - from this point on.

But please continue to hold still. I would feel very displeased with myself were I to inadvertently scratch you.

So you say. Perhaps it's because you are doing all the work. I feel as if I should probably take the matter into my own hands, but then that would mean you would be but an spectator. Either way one of us is left to watch.

*Rose's tone takes a degree of amusement*A scratch? Not for a lack of effort. I've been holding my breath at every "Hold Still" by now.

I would really rather engage with you directly than to be a mere observer of this flourishing radiance and beauty alike. It simply wouldn't be suitable. And besides, you're certainly a participant rather than a spectator, even if it's a far more passive role than you might prefer. I'm afraid I can't allow you to domineer our interactions every time.

But only a little further, and-- *And then there's a surprised intake of air as somebody notices the displaced phone and moves to hang up. Oops.*

*Somebody hasn't seen the phone yet*

Kanaya? Kanaya Mayram, don't you dare leaving me here without taking proper care of my clothes-

*And so ends the rather strange call*

good for me.

[On the bright side, he doesn't need to get in and stop something horrible from going on in his house.]

Very well then.

[He'll leave and close the door.

...

And then open it again]


What in the devil are you doing then?

Really? I make an effort to speak quite precisely to avoid exactly that scenario.

Approximately how many human years have transpired between your era and this one?

Things! Things that are very personal and fashionable and which in no way are related to you or your unnerving lack of respect for an adolescent female's privacy!

[...the universe is out to troll him with your word choice, kanaya, he knows it]

Alright then, what happened since it clearly was nothing indecent or involving blatant interspecies relations of the kind that would make Karkat explode, not there there's any kind of interspecies relationship that wouldn't.

[Sudden honesty wtf that's not how these jokes go. Sure glad these iShades don't telecast the puzzled head cock he just did]

Uh, sure. [Unless it's sufficiently hilarious then we go into negotiations]

「Haha, people don't usually say that kind of thing about me. I guess I should thank you?」

I know how you operate. Your levels of guilting are not something a human can stand.

Winning someone over with careful and rational reason is hardly "guilting." I believe I should feel mildly offended at the insinuation. This isn't to say I do, mind you, but that I ought to.

The voyeuristic pleasure of knowing someone else's personal affairs no matter how pedestrian, perhaps?

I don't agree with that. In fact, I'm certain I rather disagree with it. The communication of ones thoughts and inclinations for the purpose of mutual understanding is the entire foundation on which language is constructed.

Oh.

That is a very long time indeed.
