>This better be good.
ROSE: It was the little knit of your brow that told me.
ROSE: That there was an tension inside, requiring assertive resolution.
KANAYA: Oh So This Is Altruism Then
KANAYA: Your Noble Sacrifice That Involves Sliding Between My Thighs Like You Own The Place
ROSE: Sacrifice? I like to think of it as a win-win.
ROSE: And I can't help it if I feel a certain... atmosphere of belonging.
KANAYA: And Your Intention Is To Resolve Some Alleged Tension Even Though Your Grazes And Gazes Have Me Drawn Tighter Than A Tripwire
ROSE: All part of the process. Buildup, then crest. Crest, then waves breaking. Bask lightly, then buildup again.
KANAYA: Why Dont I Just Get Up And You Can Crest Yourself
ROSE: Because I'll touch that spot on your hips that makes all your muscles lose power, and you'll stay right here.
KANAYA: Truly This Girl Has Thought Of Everything
ROSE: Everything okay? There's a bit of emerald in your cheeks, a bit of raggedness in your breath.
KANAYA: Perfectly Fine
KANAYA: I Am Simply Graciously Indulging Your Nonsense Until You Get Bored
ROSE: Strange words for the woman whose palm cradles my cheek as if to cling to me.
KANAYA: Whatever
KANAYA: Dont Stop Btw
KANAYA: The Petting
ROSE: I had no intentions to.
KANAYA: And Do Not Read Too Much Into It
KANAYA: I Just Want To Keep You Here And Chitchat Awhile
ROSE: Really? Certainly, let's have a regular conversation while I am framed by your inner thighs. Who would I be to refuse a taste of your scintillating wit.
KANAYA: Taste
ROSE: Purely figurative speech, of course.
KANAYA: Oh To Be Certain
KANAYA: Anyway Yes
KANAYA: A Conversation
KANAYA: Just A Conversation
ROSE: What shall we talk about?
ROSE: History? Cosmology? Fashion? Cartography? Comparative religion?
ROSE: Or are you perhaps interested in...
ROSE: Current events?
KANAYA: Do I Detect More Loaded Phrasing
ROSE: Do you? A possible false alarm. Perhaps we'll have to get your detector inspected.
KANAYA: Oh My Fucking Gog
ROSE: Hahahahaha.
KANAYA: I Reiterate: Current Events
KANAYA: What Might You Be Implying
ROSE: Recent developments, of course.
KANAYA: Less Tautological Please
ROSE: Well, you know, I don't need the inner eyes that Light gave me to finely parse the subtleties of your reactions.
ROSE: That has become rather the reflex.
KANAYA: Reactions
KANAYA: What Reactions Might You Be Referring To Misses Maryam-Lalonde
ROSE: I could tell you were a little excited when she left her room.
ROSE: Relieved, and also... what was it?
ROSE: Intrigued, yes. With just a pinch of shyness and nervousness.
KANAYA: Your Speculation Grows Wilder By The Moment
KANAYA: Must Our Worlds Preeminent Practitioner Of The Talking Therapies Be Committed To An Insane Asylum
ROSE: We don't have insane asylums.
KANAYA: We Can Make One Just For You
ROSE: Confining me, then? I am uncertain if you have the wherewithal to flip our dynamic to such a degree.
KANAYA: You Are Impossible
KANAYA: And No I Was Not Quote Intrigued Unquote And There Was No Quote Unquote Shyness And Nervousness Period Middle Finger Emoticon
ROSE: We spent three years together. More, if you count her cavedwelling in our guest bedroom since her return from the black hole.
ROSE: I can see that little bit of fondness in your eyes when she is mentioned. I could always hear you laugh from across the hallway every time you spoke across the barrier of her closed door.
KANAYA: And Now We Are Sneaking Hands Up My Skirt Okay Cool
ROSE: Yes, incredibly cool.
KANAYA: Look Regardless Of What Kind Of Crazy Plans We May Have Talked About In Our Wilder Moments
KANAYA: To Move To Actual Implementation Would Be
KANAYA: Overly Decadent
ROSE: Ooh yes, decadence. We're on record as totally hating that stuff, aren't we.
KANAYA: Rrrrgh
KANAYA: And She Has All That Unfinished Business With Terezi
ROSE: Of course. No one's stopping her. This is purely our business.
ROSE: I am simply here, thighstuck, nudging you towards desire, which you have a tendency to turn away from.
ROSE: And all I'm really telling you is that I am going to invite her to my therapy sessions.
KANAYA: Youre Going To Be Vriskas Therapist
KANAYA: You Are Going To Try And Figure Out Vriskas Problems And Fix Them For Her
KANAYA: Pardon Me For A Second
KANAYA: (Ha)
KANAYA: (Ha Ha Ha)
KANAYA: (Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha)
KANAYA: Good Luck With That Is What I Will Say
ROSE: One thing that I have gleaned in my line of work, Kanaya, is that feelings make their own sort of sense. People almost always make sense in context of their histories and circumstances.
ROSE: And so I feel optimistic about my chances in bringing her catharsis and self-knowledge, if she is willing to be patient with my methods.
ROSE: And there is a nonzero chance that in the process of doing so, I may break down her barriers completely and offer her up helpless, fresh and ready at your feet like a cooked and deshelled arthropod before a great and terrible vampire queen.
ROSE: Perhaps with an apertif of cerulean wine. To taste.
KANAYA: Oh You Have To Shut The Fuck Up Right Now
KANAYA: That Is Such A Violation Of The Rules And Regulations Of Psychology
ROSE: What rules and regulations?
ROSE: This therapist sees no rules and regulations.
ROSE: Only...
ROSE: Possibilities. What-ifs.
ROSE: And even if I fail, it would be no big deal. I know we'd both like to see her happy and part of the world again.
KANAYA: Okay Sure
KANAYA: We Can Just Play It By Ear Regarding Your Debauched And Wicked Intentions
ROSE: Exaaactly.
ROSE: We'll be agnostic, for now, on the topic of giving you the harem ending.
ROSE: May I kiss?
KANAYA: If You Must
ROSE: Try not to look so elated when you are affecting a pretense of icy distance.
KANAYA: Fuh Fuh Fuh Fuh Fuh Fuh Elated Fuh Fuh Fuh
ROSE: I do sound like that!
