Well since my baby left me, I found a new place to dwell

Who: Kanaya Maryam and Terezi Pyrope
When: The day of Dave and Jade's disappearance
Where: Wherever Terezi is?
Summary: Two crying girls crying.
Warnings: Possible pale overtures.


Kanaya didn't know how to handle the idea that Terezi had lost it. It seemed inconceivable to her that Terezi Pyrope should feel any regret, not when she had always kept everything so planned, so thoroughly under the control of her incredible powers of manipulation and direction. She couldn't really begin to name how the contradictory revelation had made her feel- like something had been tragically broken, maybe, a nice vase smashed on the floor with the pieces so fine they could never be put back together again.

She didn't know what possessed her to think she could do something about it. Hadn't the universe proved by now that all attempts on the part of Kanaya Maryam were doomed to end in inexplicable and humiliating failure. Her intentions had never been anything but good. Her results had been less so. To handle Terezi Pyrope would require a skill she didn't even begin to have, but Kanaya thought- she could do it, maybe, she could at least try.

And in the end, she managed to find her again.

"Terezi," she said, softly, not daring to approach too quickly. What would she do if there were still tears on her face?

Terezi wasn't normally a troll that knew the ache of regret. Not really. She gets the feeling she's going to really hate it when she has to live through the moment of stabbing Vriska in the back the second she gets home, but as it's a thing that has yet to happen in her personal timeline, Terezi hasn't given it much thought.

She should've given more thought to the actions that lost her Dave's trust the first time. She should have at least said something—but she was just as selfish here in the Port as she was in the Veil. Terezi knows that what she did had to be done, but it still sucked knowing that Dave was going back to that. The troll could only wonder what he'd be like upon his return... if he returned at all. Would he hate her? Would she lose her best friend again?

As silence settled on her shoulders and her sobs stilled, Terezi couldn't tell if she had been crying because she missed him or because she was selfish for wanting everything to be a-okay with herself and her friend.

“I'm over here,” she whispered when she heard Kanaya's soothing voice from a few feet away. Her chin was propped up on her hands and her iShades were set next to her on the rim of the rooftop. Being placated was honestly the furthest thing from her mind, but having Kanaya's presence next to her felt a little comforting. She'd been alone long enough, she figured—and having Kanaya around just in case a monster should attack would be welcome support.
