Amicitia

The Beginning of Something Really Exelent

CG: Karkat ran his breath coming in short pants. He didnt know where he was going all he knew was that it wasnt back to the hive of the troll who had bought him at an auction last sweep. His body was sore from recent beatings and from having been running since yesterday. He slowed as he reached an area where the bushes were thick. He slowly and carefully made his way through them so he could hide himself long enough to be able to rest. He stayed like that for about an hour before he moved out so he could continue on, and find some food.

TA: Sollux looks at him worriedly.

CG: Karkat didnt know that anyone else was there and he just kept going.

TA: Sollux followed, curious about the battered boy who was running panicked.

CG: Karkat continued on his way until he came across a stream. When he did he bent down and started to drink and then look around wondering if there would be any fish in it that he might be able to catch.

TA: Sollux creeped behind him and silently crouched down. He was concerned about the origins of the strange looking troll

CG: Karkat was able to hear some of the other's movements and he was instantly on his feet facing the other with a small dagger in his hand.

TA: "Woah there I'm not going to do anything, don't freak out!" he stood up

CG: Karkat looked the other over for a moment before lowering the dagger but not putting it away. "Who are you, why are you following me?"

TA: "My name is Sollux" he pronounced it slowly hoping his lisp wouldn't stop him understanding "I'm wondering what the fuck YOURE doing here"

CG: "I am just passing through here." he said seeming to relax a bit more seeing as the other had yet to try to cull him and wasnt making any moves towards him.

TA: "Passing through? You look like you've been thrown down a fucking cliff, you alright?"

CG: "I will be fine. As far as I know there isn't anything that is too serious." he said looking away a little.

TA: "I dunno you look a bit rough" Sollux moves forward

CG: On instinct Karkat moved back when the other moved forward, not even caring that he was now standing in the water. "Trust me I have had worse than this."

TA: "Shhhh....I said I'm not going to do anything" he took another step forward "You've been through some harsh shit then?"

CG: He gave a small nod and this time when the other moved forward he stopped himself from moving back. "I'm sure that everyone has." just not the same kind of stuff that he had been.

TA: "yeah this world isn't exactly the safest" he was glad the other seemed two trust him a little

CG: "That's a bit of an understatement." he said with the smallest hint of a smile there.

TA: "what's your story then?" he could sense that the kid was holding something back

CG: "Nothing that you need to know about." he said and shifted the cloak that he wore a little.

TA: "the mysterious type then" he said under his breath "those scrapes look pretty painful, let me see he held out his hand"

CG: Karkat hesitated when the other held out his hand but slowly he took the hand and moved forward.

TA: Bringing Karkat slowly out of the water Sollux began too smile "I'm no magnificent healer but I'll try my best"

CG: "Is there even such a thing as a magnificent healer in this world?" he asked slowly starting to become more trusting of this troll.
