"Tho… finally found you."
Kail looked up, surprised to see the human Sollux standing next to his table. Tallos and Joy looked up as well, both equally confused. Devan continued to sculpt his mashed potatoes and grub sauce. "Sollux!" Kail blurted, chocking on his food. It was a fail on his part. He was trying to hide his surprise. He coughed. "What are you doing here? 4th epoch doesn't eat this hour."
Sollux shrugged. "Mehh, I thkipped. No biggy." He whistled noticing Kail's black eye. "Nice shiner."
"Who's your friend Kail?" Joy asked.
Kail looked to Joy horrified. He really didn't want to relive that day. "I thought it wath kind a weird how you ran off. I wanted to thee if you came back. Tho did you make up with the new kid?"
Devan looked up at this point. "We're cool man- chill like the first flakes of winter. Damn." Devan frowned as the sculpture collapsed.
"Oh, tho you're the new kid?" Sollux asked.
"That's what they keep tellin' me." Devan said. "I keep sayin' no- you got it all wrong the names Devan- but damn the heads are thick around here."

Kail felt his blood start to burn and his body went stiff as he trembled with embarrassment. "SHUT Up! Ass face!" Kail managed to lower his voice before he finished his sentence. "No one need's to know about that!"
Sollux was laughing as Kail had grabbed him by the head and practically put him in a head lock. Kail let him go immediately when he realized what he was doing. Sollux just bit back his laughter. "You're probably right." He grinned a slightly evil grin and Kail felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't think humans could make such frightening faces. "I though it wath important to remind you about it though."
Kail slowly sat back down. "Why?" He asked.
"Becauthe I have a favor to athk of you. If you feel you owe me- I reathoned- you'd probably be more willing to athithst."
"Assist?" Kail asked, "Assist in what?"
The smile that spread across Sollux's face made Kail shutter.
