The Valley

Innsta falls to the ground ungracefully.
Nepeta attacked Karkat then ran off. Though your kick may have been a teensy bit unneccesarry.

A TEENSY BIT? THAT WAS LIKE SOLLUX LASER BLASTING A FUCKING BEE IN HOW UNNECESSARY IT WAS.
Karkat cradled Nepeta in his arms. He looked up to Aradia.
ARADIA, TAKE NEPETA BACK TO HEMOPOLIS, WE NEED TO GET HER TO A MEDIC ASAP.

*Meenah shrugs, not really feeling that bad*

ill put her under guard or waterebber

uUUUUH, wHOOPS?

Tavros just stands still, stunned by what just happened.

*Aradia nods and (after giving a quick 'hello' wave to Tavros) goes to pick up Nepeta like a proper damsel in distress.
Her wings spring to life once more, but she hesitates when she's about to take off*

um
someone should probably tell equius about this

*Meenah snorts and her wings sprout from her back, glitter scattering on the dust behind her*

sea you nerds latter

YOU HOLD ON ONE MORE BULGE CHAFING MOMENT, MEENAH. YOU GET RIGHT THE FUCK BACK HERE AND FACE THE MUSIC OF YOUR TRIGGER HAPPY RAMPAGE OF NEPETA'S NUGBONE.

Innsta slowly moves away from the group, dodging Karkat's glare.
I'll just, uh. Go find Equius. Tell him what's up.
She sprinted away.

*Meenah turns around and tilts her head*

my what now

Karkat stomped up towards Meenah.
YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO FUCKING ATTACK HER IMMEDIATELY! HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF USING YOUR THINK PAN FOR THREE GOD DAMN SECONDS AND ASKING YOURSELF WHY NEPETA COULD POSSIBLY HAVE HIDING BEHIND ME RATHER THAN GORING ME WITH HER CLAWS?

Tavros waves a continuous hello and goodbye in Aradia's general direction, staring blankly into the middle distance

*Meenah shrugs*

ask questions later is how i roll nubs
besides shes fin
probably

YOU FELL ONTO HER HEAD AT MAXIMUM VELOCITY AND PROMPTLY SMACKED HER SKULL INTO A TREE, YOU CALL THAT "FIN"?
Karkat got right next to Meenah's face, blood starting to dry from the cut on his cheek.
SHE WAS ALREADY HURT YOU APATHETIC PIECE OF SHIT!!! HOW ABOUT YOU ACTUALLY TRY TO BE A FUCKING DECENT LEADER AND TRY TO ASSESS THE SITUATION BEFORE YOU GO APESHIT ON ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS FACES!

*Meenah grins and gets in her face*

oh are ya about to start somefin cuz i would love that
youve been way too passive as a late shouty lets sea some anger

Karkat snarled, fists clenched.
AT LEAST I'M SHOWING SOME FUCKING EMOTIONS HERE. AT LEAST I CAN FUCKING TELL WHEN I'M IN THE WRONG. YOU DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT ANYONE EXCEPT YOURSELF AND YOU DON'T DESERVE THE TITLE OF EMPRESS.

*Meenah makes a mocking gasp of hurt and puts a hand to her face*

wow shouty that was pretty rude i like bein an heiress n shit

FFFFFFFFUCK YOU!
Karkat took a large step away, double flipping off Meenah.
I'M FUCKING DONE WITH YOU'RE BULLSHIT. GET TAVROS TO BE YOUR TOKEN LOWBLOOD THIRD WHEEL WHILE YOU RUIN THIS COUNTRY LIKE YOU DID WITH YOUR SGRUB TEAM. I'M DONE.
Karkat twirled around, still pointing his middle fingers at Meenah, as he started to storm off.

*Meenah frowns and glides in front of Karkat, holding her hand out*

woah what the glubbin fuck shouty you dont get ta walk away
ur an emperor for life whether you like it or not

Karkat pushed her hand away.
I'M GOING TO THE HOSPITAL. FIND ME WHEN YOU STOP BEING A LOWLIFE PIECE OF SHIT.

*Meenah shrugs and flaps her wings, elevating to a hover, before giving Karkat one last glance and soaring off*

Karkat went back to the gates and went back into the city

Innsta stumbled and fell back into Esdret's arms. She stared up at esdret
better then ever...
She glanced down at Esdret's arms, her face regaining the nervous blue hue it's been accustomed to the past half hour or so.
but um... im still a little bit woozy from that trip. i think i got it now though.
Innsta tried standing up by herself.
