[ nah, karkat is just meant to be a little shit, and rose would be more concerned if he wasn't, tbh. that's good enough for her. ]
oops, my bad. i must have mixed up my wording or something. i should've asked if we're still not cool instead. knowing that clears things right up!
[ there's a brief delay on rose's end between that and the text that follows, too. ]
and duh! you'd never ask anyone to come yell at me when you're more than capable of doing it yourself. the thought never even crossed my mind.
believe it or not, i'd ask if everything's alright, but i guess that'd be breaking my promise, so i'm not going to. in a hypothetical situation where said promise to butt out didn't exist, though, asking is something i'd hypothetically do.
but a promise is a promise, right? just thought i'd let you know that a hypothetical door is open if there was ever a hypothetical situation you needed one.
[ she's not (hypothetically) giving him an option to bring whatever it is that happened to her to be nosy this time; rather, she's (hypothetically) asking because whatever this talk entailed, it must have been a pretty big deal if karkat cared enough to check in with her like this. rose won't push the issue, and he has an easy out, but karkat is more obvious than he thinks he is. it's a (hypothetical) invitation, considering rose is one of the only people who know about it. rose can take a wild guess that something's up. she's getting some serious It's Complicated vibes right now.
plus, rose is a little (okay, more than a little) curious regarding how her little chat with karkat was related to a serious conversation at all. a passing "so listen to what bullshit that Other Rose just pulled" seemed like a reasonable assumption to make before being told otherwise. ]
shhhh it's okay
