Prince of Heart- I know their canon age is thirteen (or six for the trolls) but I personally view them as eighteen/nineteen, because at that age there was no way I could've written the way even someone like Dave types. I mean, it makes a lot more sense for me at least, especially since I've given them basically older teenager heights.

For the record, my fanon heights for the characters are: Nepeta- 5'4, Tavros- 5'5, Eridan, Aradia, Feferi and Sollux- 5'6, Karkat, Terezi, and Rose- 5'7, John and Vriska- 5'8, Kanaya, Jade and Dave- 5'9, Equius- 5'11, and Gamzee at 6'2. God I love imagining Eridan as this tiny and angry dude. My smol Prince.

Eridan appeared moments later on another appearafier, still softly sobbing from his conversation with Terezi and Dave. He found himself in a sort of library, multiple bookcases scattered all around him with a variety of troll literature, ranging from history to romance novels. At one of the tables beside him sat a couple of figures, who had both stopped what they were doing and turned to face Eridan. It was Rose and Kanaya, both turned away from a large set of books that lay on the table. Kanaya, her skin still burning a bright white, turned back once she realised it was Eridan to continue what she was doing, while Rose still looked questioningly at him. Eridan panicked, and in trying to hide his tears, pulled up the side of his cape to cover half of his face. He quickly paced away and to a sink by the coffee maker, and let down his cape. He turned on the tap, cupped his hands to get a handful of water, and splashed it on his face.

He took a few deep breaths and managed to cease his manic breathing, as he heard Rose call from behind him, "Eridan, are you okay?"

Eridan took one final breath, sucking in the air through his nostrils, and lent onto the sink. "im fine, wwitch. i just banged my toe onto a table, and you knoww howw much that hurts."

He heard the appearafier activate again, and Dave's voice spoke up straight afterwards, "yo fish-dude, whats up? whyd you run away like you spotted a middle aged dad with a fishing rod?"

"What happened?" Rose asked him, her attention now in his direction.

"i dont know. one minute were talking about kissing troll babes, the next moment hes crying over the fact that johns dead troll girlfriend dumped him years ago." Dave jogged over to Eridan, and placed his hand on his shoulder. "if it was a sensitive subject, you shouldve said something and we wouldve stopped."

Eridan gulped, "could wwe just stop talkin about it? i am god damn royalty, i shouldnt be actin like this."

"Just Leave Him Alone," Kanaya told them, not looking up from her book. "He Does Not Want To Talk About It, Then Why Bother With Him?"

"damn vampire-lady, dont be too nice to him now. might give him an aneurism with how bright your personality is."

Rose looked at Dave, Kanaya's bright light reflecting neatly off her pale skin and an amused look on her face. "Dave, could you please refer to our friends by their names? I don't think Eridan nor Kanaya like being called 'Fish-Dude' or 'Vampire-Lady.'"

"ill call them whatever the hell i want, because there is no way in hell im calling someone kanaya or eridan."

"But you're willing to call Terezi by her name?"

"well thats different, shes my kinda girlfriend. gotta respect my kinda girlfriend, rose. or should i say, cthulhu-chick?"

"Don't call me that."

"nope too late, youre now officially known as cthulhu-chick. embrace that shit."

Rose sighed and rubbed her eyes, a gleeful smile on her face. She glazed her purple pupils back to Eridan. "So there's nothing you want to talk about? Well, consider the question dropped."

"wwhat are you doin anywway?" Eridan asked. "wwitch magics i presume?"

"No, not witch magics, Eridan. Just researching some stuff about the session we're about to enter."

Dave turned away, waving Rose off. "well i wont get in the way. got myself a town to build. you coming fish-dude?"

"no, im done for today. ill just pick it up tomorrow. oh, but could you ask ter if wwere still on for tomorroww?"

Dave instantly turned on his heels, his cape flowing with him in one move. "wait what. what are you doing tomorrow?"

"wwhat wwevve been doin for the past year on this damn meteor; wworkout session and a quick play of the session of dungeons and dragons wwe got goin on."

Dave crossed his arms. "why is this the first im hearing of this?"

"Why do you care Dave?" Rose questioned intently, a sly smile on her face before she gave him an exaggerated wink.

"dont you wink at me god damn it. if youre implying im jealous you can throw those thoughts in the trash can cause theyre fucking garbage." Rose shook her head and rolled her eyes, then turned her head and winked at Eridan. "dont wink at him either, youre giving the poor dude mixed signals."

"i am quite confused at your intentions, wwitch. i thought you wwere already a thing wwith kan."

"A Thing?" Kanaya perked her head up to face Rose. "Are You Saying We Are A Thing To Others In Our Group?"

Rose replied with another wink, much more exaggerated than the last.

"stop winking at peeps. she hasnt said nothing about you two. shes just being weird. anyway, to answer your previous question, its because i want to get in on that shit. give me a chance to show off how a human does it. how the hell am i even supposed to work out with this fucking sweet cape on?"

"You could just change clothes. Maybe Kanaya can sew something up for you?" Rose suggested. Kanaya smiled and nodded in response.

"wait what we can actually change out of these clothes? ive been wearing them straight for like, a year." He directed his attention back to Eridan. "i didnt know you worked out?"

Eridan beamed a prideful smile. "dont get an imposin figure like mine wwithout a little swweat."

Dave looked down at him from his superior height for a second with a blank stare, before bursting into laughter. He nearly fell over, but reached out and grabbed Eridan's shoulder to steady himself on. Once he'd steadied himself, he looked back up at Eridan's unimpressed face as he winded down from his outburst, but he quickly burst back into teary laughter once he'd remembered what Eridan just said.

"wwill you quiet dowwn, i am twwice the male you are!"

Dave continued his laughter, holding onto his stomach as he came to pain. Eventually, he turned around and away from Eridan, walking to the teleporter while still holding his stomach and laughing. As he stood on the appearafier, he gave one quick turnaround to Eridan, pointing at him and placing his other hand over his glasses as he teleported away.

Eridan glared at the appearafier for a few seconds, before turning back to Rose and Kanaya. "fuck, its like that guy wwants a kismesis wwith me."

"Really?" Kanaya replied, "Are You Going To Attempt To Kill Him Too?"

"Kanaya, we talked about the passive-aggressiveness towards Eridan. At least try and act like he isn't a terrible person."

Kanaya rolled her eyes. "Well I Do Not Want To Be Passive Towards Him, Nor Do I Want To Be Aggressive. So It Is Either The Passive Aggression Or He Finds A New Meteor."

"oh, come on kan! im a changed guy! wwhy cant you just forgivve me already?"

Kanaya sighed, "It Is Not That Simple, Eridan. I Do Not Understand How You Can Not Understand."

"maybe because youre just being selfish kan."

Kanaya shook her head dismissively. "And That Logic Is Why I Can Not Forgive You."

Eridan crossed his arms and kicked the ground below him as if he were a little kid. Rose looked between the two, before sighing and looking back to her book, while Kanaya did likewise. Eridan stood still for a few seconds, basking in the awkward silence between the three, but eventually grew bored and went over to the appearafier. As he attempted to teleport away, he felt the appearafier slowly activate, and he was suddenly pushed back as the appearafier made room for Karkat's entrance into the library.
