Back in the camp, Karkat is really pissed that they weren't able to even win their first battle. Everyone around is quiet as Karkat marches around, yelling at whatever he can. After a few moments of him wearing his voice away, Kanaya goes up to him and is able to calm him down a bit. After her attempt to calm him, Karkat sits on the ground, resting his face in his hands.

Sollux walks up to him, and sits next to him. Everyone watches with curious eyes, wondering why their leader is hiding his face.

"Kk, what2 wrong?"

"I'M A TERRIBLE LEADER."

"II dont thiink 2o."

"ITS NOT FUCKING TRUE THOUGH."

"IIt wa2 ju2t our fir2t battle."

"DOESN'T MEAN I'M NOT TERRIBLE."

"No iit ju2t mean2 you 2houldn't jump to conclu2iion2," Sollux gently pushes Karkat, trying to get him to stop calling himself terrible. Karkat looks up to him with dull eyes, everyone still watching to two converse. "Lii2ten, II thought II wa2 pretty terriible after II kiilled AA, but Fef wa2 there for me, and 2he 2howed me that no one ii2 terriiible, we all ju2t make mii2take2 and we have to except that."


Apologizes for not updating quickly, but school and homework was getting in the way, and will for the rest of the school year. I'll try to update on weekends and breaks, but I can't promise anything. Also, if Sollux seems OOC, I apologize again. I don't know Sollux that much (but I do know Dave, and the two are a lot alike), and I personally don't like Sollux a lot (dislike is a more fitting word...), but I will try to write him as best as I can. If he's OOC, please tell me and I will work on it. Thanks for reading to everyone who is following this story.
