[She's only barely handling this herself. Playing an alien near-adult and a highblood off each other like toys touches the edges of her depth; and knowing there's a Troll German Shepherd that could come in and chew off their heads while she's not looking only makes it worse. And -- oh, she's just so frustrated with him.]
You betrayed us, Eridan. You do realize that, right. Or am I missing out on some critical aspect of seadweller culture that says it's acceptable to make out with your conciliatory quadrant fills. Because, even from our perspective, what you did was wrong. Even if you hadn't misunderstood me and she would have somehow been receptive [and she is a little quieter, for a moment, as she does the teenager thing and feels all the culpability herself] it still would have been wrong. ["To your auspistice", she doesn't say.]
And now trying to take it from the alien perspective. ...which honestly is terribly difficult to do when it's like this because she's got an ashen fill and, regardless of what you might have to say about her emotions, a situation closely resembling a pale one -- I still don't know how humans think. [She's struck by sudden longing for that Rose girl she once knew. This kind of thing would have fascinated her, and later on it strongly seemed like she might actually be almost competent in the field. But that was a six hour twelve minute aberration. It's not like she'd ever show up. Another troll, maybe, but not some alien acquaintance, however significant she may have seemed at the time. The entire idea comes to mind and gets rejected by Kanaya in the space of a seconds.] What she could have been thinking when the two of you were. Like that. [Beaten and bruised and legs entangled and she was on top, the stupid beautiful girl, with blood on her lips and underneath her nails... yes, Kanaya's jealous. Not of either partner, but their position... Bite her. (Andrea'd've made such an excellent troll.)] But. You know how unreasonable she sometimes is. What I'd guess the situation has become in her mind -- of course I wasn't there, so I don't know exactly how things started, I still don't know why she started fighting back other than being stupid -- was that you had come out of nowhere to both beat her up and provide funwanted concupiscent advances. And if those are conflicting rather than complementary, then it's only worse, I guess.
So I wasn't thinking you should try to talk to her. Just. Drop off lunch or something.
