So this chapter is, again, not nearly as long as the first. I am having trouble figuring out how I want to move into events that just cannot happen too early in a story. I also had this written for a few days, but I put off uploading it. I am just too shy about my writing xD

I doubt I will ever upload chapters as quickly as I uploaded the first three, but I won't take weeks on end either. I have school coming up this week, and I hope to get a job, and blah blah. Normal highschooler stuff.

"So, what would you like to do with him, Ma'am?"

Vriska leaned back in her chair as two burly trolls strode over to stand on both sides of the troll with the large transaction. She had sent every troll out (including Nepeta) so that she could talk to this troll in private. She almost face palmed when she heard his ridiculous story about the troll with bull horns. The same stunt has been pulled on a few separate occasions, and her numb skulled workers STILL have not caught on. She decided that he was innocent with the large transaction. But due to his irresponsibility, he would still retrieve some sort of consequence.

"He is free to return to his station. However, due to their incompetence to be more careful, he, along with the rest of his station's workers, will be stripped of their access to the bank. Instead, they will get a set pay every month." One of the burly trolls raised an eyebrow as she said this. It was probably shocking to him that nobody will be sentenced to death in this moment. Even when they are (mostly) innocent, she would give them a painful, and public, death. However, since she had just given a death punishment a week ago, she figured she did not need to resort to such brutality for a few weeks. She had a reputation to uphold, yes, but that doesn't mean she needs to over do it.

The accused troll started to thank her and praise her, which Vriska found to be rather annoying. She ordered the burly trolls to escort him out, and even allowed them to be as "gentle" as they pleased. That'll reinforce her generosity.

After they left, Vriska stood up to find Nepeta. She headed down the back hall, and peaked into the cat troll's bedroom. Just as she had thought, Nepeta was hovering over her computer, typing rapidly to some user. Suppressing her grin, Vriska began to slink across the room, hoping to catch Nepeta off guard. However, as she had learned many times, you cannot sneak up on this troll very well. Right when she was closing in on her, Nepeta spun around with a goofy smile on her face.

"Hi Vriskers! How did the issue turn out?" She gave her signature head tilt.

"Pretty decently." Vriska told her, pulling up a chair to sit beside her. "As I thought, it was that obnoxious group of rebels. They really need to mind their own fucking business."

Nepeta scrunched up her face, clearly in thought, then replied. "Oh. Well, one of them actually messaged me today! I am currently talking to Aradia." She stretched out the word "currently" with a purr.

Vriska's eyes widened a little bit, quite surprised that they would message her. "Really? What about? Are they trying to weasel secrets out of you?" She glanced over at the computer screen. Did she just say she holds my heart in her paws?

Nepeta giggled, and began to type again. "No, she was just wondering about how we got together! Feferi told me earlier that Sollux seemed shocked that we were together. Shortly aftur, Aradia asked me about it. It seems she really doesn't care about what's going on here!"

Vriska rolled her eyes. Of course they were wondering these things. But now, of all times? This has been going on for awhile now. Why did they not question us earlier? Unless... Feferi told me earlier that Sollux seemed shocked that we were together. Is it possible that they never... Thought about Nepeta's well being? Vriska bit her lower lip. They will pay for not thinking about her sooner.

She looked back at the screen to see Nepeta telling Aradia about how Equius broke off their pale relationship. Subconsciously, her fists clenched, but she kept a level gaze with what Nepeta was saying. Normally, she would probably be a little annoyed that Nepeta was talking to those who were trying to ruin them. But then she thought of their expressions as Nepeta mentions how broken her and Vriska were thanks to them. They must feel guilty. Also, it brought back very amusing memories.

"That was hilarious, you know. Making you bristle so much." Vriska laughed as Nepeta told Aradia about their encounter.

Nepeta's face flushed with a faint green tone. "It was so infuriating!" And although infuriating is spelled normally, she still said the "fur" part of it as the literal word "fur". You know, like a cat. Fur. Get it? "You just did not know when to stop!"

Vriska grinned, letting loose a small chuckle. "I know, I know. But think about it this way. If I never pissed you off, you never would have jumped at me, and the herd would never have endangered your life. Pissing you off was the start of our relationship!"

Nepeta punched Vriska's shoulder. Not too hard, of course, but not too soft either. She then smiled, because this is how they bonded. They kiss and cuddle, then they beat each other up. It had toned down quite a bit though, but they still jokingly pick on each other when the right time comes.

"Ow!" Vriska shouted. "I think you broke my god damn arm!" She started to flail around, over dramatically.

Nepeta told Aradia about how Vriska threw her out of the way of the herd. She then groaned aloud because Vriska was being a diva. She put her typing on hold, and turned around to face Vriska. Vriska was yelling, and spinning out of control on her swivel chair. She acted so childish some times. But then again, Nepeta does too. They sort of wore off on each other.

Nepeta grabbed the edges of Vriska's chair, stopping her in motion (and nearly flinging her from the chair), and reached for Vriska's "injured" arm. She rolled up the sleeve, and placed a gentle kiss in the same place that she had punched her. She then looked Vriska in the eyes, and smiled. "Is that better?" She purred.

Vriska put on a pouting face. "No, not completely."

Nepeta laughed, and leaned forward to plant a kiss on Vriska's cheek. She the turned back to her story telling. Beside her, Vriska folded her arms and let out a "huff" of air. It was obvious that she wanted a real kiss. And although Nepeta did too, it would probably turn into a make out session. And she could not just abandon her explanation to Aradia for however long Vriska and her would mess around. So she made a mental note to make it up to Vriska later.

After a good while (during all this, Vriska kept herself busy by opening Nepeta's drawers and going through them), Nepeta finished up her little tale to Aradia.

AC: :33 So aftur that, Vriskers and I stuck together! On diffurent occasions, we both have saved each othur's life here and there. The wilderness sure is a difficult place to live in!

AC: No denial? Damn, I must 8e a fucking all star at guessing games.
AC: You know, I did not want to cause any more 8loodshed recently. I was just going to let your recent thievery slide. 8ut now, I will make you all pay for making Nepeta cry. You 8etter 8e fucking prepared, 8ecause I know where you are.
AC: I have known for awhile. You are not as secretive as you think you are. You need to 8uck up and get on my level, or else you will not even 8e in the game much longer.
