"see? Nudding inderesding in de sellar?" you say condolingly. Groodi looked around with a skeptical eye.
"Morris!" he snapped and the slouching figure beside him snapped just as quickly into attention. "search,ch!"
Morris grinned and went to his orders with a passion. You roll your eyes when he crawls under a table until a glass vase topples off if and breaks.
"hey!" you say irritated. "tell yur guy to- hey!" Morris knocks a bowl over. You duck onto a dive to catch it. The indigo looks inside a cup then lazily tosses is aside. You do another dive and luckily catch it too.
"be karevul yu nit!" he yells at him. Morris turns and his eyes light up. "wut are yu.. No." both you and Morris are looking at your crystal windowed cabinet.
"no, please don'd, Grooti, please" you beg, looking at Groodi with pleading eyes. You were on the floor, on your knees, begging your life long enemy not break this. "please, anyding but dat, please. It was Lucile's, please Grooti, don't do dis." Groodi carefully doesn't look at you. This obviously bothers him, but he does nothing to stop it. You turn to Morris and grab his leg near the knee, dropping to bowl and cup you'd just saved. Morris growls and knocks you off with a well placed kick to the face. You fall off, clutching your face. You're going to cry.
"leavve Rrikhevv alone you meaniess!" Nereti yells, coming out from a tiny door under the stairs. Groodi grabs her arm.
"one unregist,tered child,d." he said looking at the door. It was a wonder he didn't see Karkat until his fist was in Groodi's eye. You hadnt even seen him.
"DON'T TOUCH HER." he said angrily. The two officers looked at him in shock. Groodi recovered first.
"g,get him, you id,diot,t!" he yelled to his partner. Morris snapped out of whatever trance he'd been in and leapt right at you and Nereti, who'd been trying to help you up, getting her hands covered in jade blood too. Both of you freeze. Karkat shoves him off course into a book stand. Morris growls at him and launches him self at him. Karkat sidesteps and Morris falls near you and Nereti. He growls and grabs Nereti.
"git duwn un tha flur!" he shouted at Karkat, but before you could see what happened the guy was screaming and indigo paint was flying everywhere. No, not paint. Blood. Karkat had cut off his hand and opposite ear in seemingly one slice. Morris was on the ground trying to cover his nonexistent ear in his hand.
"are you okay?" Karkat asked Nereti, trying to comfort her even though she wasn't hurt and was more scared that he'd been hurt than of the officials. Groodi was standing now and blue in the face from making threats. Karkat seemed to have just noticed him. You were in shock of how quickly this happened.
