>Now the part where Kanaya reacts.
KANAYA: P
KANAYA: Perhaps You Have A Point Though
ROSE: How gratifying to hear.
ROSE: Did you have more to say?
ROSE: Not just about the matter of our interesting mutual friend, but anything that's on your mind.
ROSE: I'm here for you, you know?
KANAYA: Your Presence Is At The Moment Hard To Ignore
KANAYA: But Yes I Suppose It As Good As A Time As Any To Reflect
ROSE: Don't mind me if I am intermittently busy and slow to reply here and there.
ROSE: Mwah.
KANAYA: You Are Pardoned In Advance
KANAYA: I Just
KANAYA: (And Please Let This Not Be Construed As An Attempt To Pour Dour Rain On Your Picnic Down There)
ROSE: (So I'm having a picnic down here? Is that what I'm doing? Aren't you the one always scolding me for dubious word choice?)
KANAYA: (Hush)
ROSE: (Yes, ma'am.)
KANAYA: Its Just That
KANAYA: Somehow Even After All These Sweeps I Am Not Used To Being Happy And Getting What I Want
KANAYA: It Still Fills Me With A Sense Of Unassuageable Guilt Which Is Perhaps What Provokes Me To Meet Your Amorous Entreaties With Insincere Antagonisms
KANAYA: Like I Have To Maintain A Certain Level Of Seriousness And Cannot Simply Exist For Myself And Feel Justified If I Am Not Doing Something For Someone Else Or For The Greater Good At All Times
KANAYA: Oh
ROSE: Really? I have only been kissing the most peripheral and unassuming of areas. Do even these modest offerings elicit Kanaya's precious jade Oh's?
KANAYA: Im Sensitive
ROSE: True, true.
ROSE: But as you were saying?
KANAYA: But As I Was Saying
KANAYA: Growing Up Thinking In Terms Of Life As A Checklist Of Obligations To Be Fulfilled As Dictated By My Skaian Dream Clouds
KANAYA: It Really Set A Pattern
KANAYA: What Am I If Not The One Who Does The Tasks And Hatches The Matriorb
KANAYA: What Else Do I Have To Offer The World
KANAYA: What If I Do It Wrong Or What If It Turns Out Badly Or What If A Tyrannical Wizard Appears And Destroys It
ROSE: Let's work backwards. First answer to all three questions: "Then my mom will just make you another one."
KANAYA: See This Is The Difficult Thing About Human Familial Conventions I Was Just Talking About This With Karkat
KANAYA: I Feel Like The Boundaries Shift In Ways That Subtly Elude Me
KANAYA: I Am Like Ninety Percent Certain I Have Heard You On Some Occasions Offhandedly Speak The Words Quote My Sister Roxy Unquote
ROSE: Seems likely.
KANAYA: So Is Roxy Your Mom Or Your Sister
ROSE: Yes.
KANAYA: Argh
ROSE: Now, as much as I would love to continue explaining my mom and I's relationship to your lower thorax, (You And Your Mom Have A Relationship To My Lower Thorax?) I would like to circle back and address further previously raised concerns.
ROSE: Wait, hold on.
ROSE: Mwah.
KANAYA: Aaaargh
ROSE: "What else do you have to offer the world." You are the type of person who will excel at anything you find meaning in. If your medium is cloth, or ink, if your tool is lipstick or chainsaw, it won't matter.
ROSE: There's a place in the earth that awaits the egg. Perhaps you are concerned about finding it, but it is out there.
ROSE: At the precipice of completion of a great task, one may fear anticlimax and loss of purpose.
ROSE: But the great thing about life, you know, is that you're never really devoid of purpose if you look for it.
ROSE: And yes, that means you have permission to take your time and have fun and live your life and find the right set of dank, timorous caverns to squelch your egg into.
KANAYA: Hehe
KANAYA: Okay I Guess I Will Have Fun If I Must
ROSE: You must!
KANAYA: I Hope That When Theyre Born That They Like The World We Are Building For Them
ROSE: Spoken like a woman who's as serious about her mission as she ever was.
ROSE: Now, let's see, there was something else I wanted to address here...
ROSE: Ah, I know.
KANAYA: Oh!
ROSE: Wow, you sure have one sensitive knee.
KANAYA: Is That What Thats Called
DOOR: [Sound that happens when a door gets knocked.]
KANAYA: !!!
ROSE: !!!.
