[Nepeta usually was not one to have much shame for the things she did. Nor was she one to have many regrets, but right now? She had ample amounts of both. She was trying to figure out why exactly she had thought that trying to woo Karkat in such a manner would work, but either way she looked at it, it was apparent that she hadn't really doing much thinking at all.

At this point she was pretty sure she would never be able to face him--or really, any troll now that what little dignity she had was completely and utterly obliterated. That's why she had neither left or cave, nor touched her tablet in over a week. Instead she kept herself curled up under a bunch of pelts, and try as she might Pounce could not get her to leave.

This was the only option left to her. A life as a complete and utter hermit.]

[NOT IF YOUR MOIRAIL HAS ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT IT ISN'T]

[He kicks in the door or, in the event of the absence of a door, makes another appropriately dramatic entrance. He stands in her doorway, dripping wet from the rain, breathing heavily.]

Nepeta! I know you are in here!

[GUH!!]

[Nope she isn't saying anything. Just staying hidden beneath these pelts. Please ignore the blue tail poking out from under them, shhhhhh]

[He sees the tail poking out, but decides to give her another chance to show herself.]

This behavior is entirely unlike you, and as your Moirail I am concerned. I know not what brought this episode on, but it is over, effective immediately. Show yourself so that we may discuss this like civilized trolls.

No!. I'm not coming out. Not ever again.

[And that marked the end of Equius' patience. He bows politely to Madame De Leon, and then grabs Nepeta by the protruding tail, effortlessly hoisting her into the air by it.]

Now, can we discuss this like mature adults, or must we continue to act like mewling wigglers?

[Nepeta yelped and dug her claws deep into the ground, leaving long scratch marks behind but it was of no use. Up she went, and she didn't seem particularly perturbed to be hanging upside down now, as she was just bothered by the fact she had been caught.

She squirmed in place and avoided looking him in the eye.]

It's nothing. Honest! I mean, nothing impurrtant, at least.

I do not believe that for a moment. You have not left your hive in days, nor signed onto Trollian. This is uncharacteristic behavior.

Nor am I the only one who has noticed this. Terezi has also messaged me, concerned about you. You are worrying everyone who pities you even a little with this irresponsible behavior, young lady.

[She wasn't terribly surprised that Equius had noticed and made his way over here, but she did have to admit the news of others catching on did catch her off guard. At last she lifted her eyes to look at Equius.]

...she did?

Yes. And I ought to give your behind a thrashing for forcing me to interact with that insufferable girl. I am not certain I understood all of what she said, but I have the distinct impression that much of it was 100d.

[She opened her mouth to defend Terezi, but then just shut it.]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry everyone.

[He gently sets her down on the ground.]

Apology accepted. Now please, tell me what's wrong.

[She shifts a bit uncomfortably when he sets her down. Jeez this was...not going to be a pleasant conversation.]

I...kinda did something really, really stupid. And really, really embarrassing. Purrhaps the most stupid and embarrassing thing a troll has ever done.

Whatever you did, I am sure it is not as bad as that. Elaborate.

[Yea he said that now.]

Well I kinda tried to tell someone that I was flushed fur them.

Except I kinda did it in a way I purrobably shouldn't have.

[...]

Do you remember that story you told me way back when I was sick?

[So it was romantic troubles? Equius might have known. There was now no doubt in his mind that she was exaggerating.]

Yes, I do remember that. I fail to see how that is relevant to--

[OH GOD HE JUST WORKED IT OUT]

...Nepeta, you didn't.

SEE! SEE I TOLD YOU! [she let out a small wail and pulled her hat down over her eyes.]

I-I did and now I can never look at him again.

Holy fiddlesticks.

[He was in so much shock that he didn't even think to apologize for his foul language.]

Why? What would possess you to do something like that?

[Nepeta was so tempted to go and hide back under the pelt pile again, but she knew he'd just drag her back out so she settled with pulling her hat down even lower]

I don't knoooooow. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. It's just I've tried so hard to tell them how I feel and could never bring myself to. So I kept dropping all these hints and they never got it so....I-I guess I just figured I was doing it wrong.

And so you thought accosting them naked was the better option?

[He doesn't even know what to say. Also he's sweating like crazy now.]

This is my fault. I should have never told you that story.

Nothing else ever worked. [it was mumbled out but she knew how poor a decision that was. Oh did she ever.

When he began to blame himself she lifted the hat just a little and shook her head.]

No it's not. I should have known better.

I knew how impressionable you are, how such a story might have affected you. I should have known better.

[He shakes his head.]

No matter. All that matters now is dealing with the aftermath. Tell me who it was.

[Oh dear. She opens her mouth to lie and say it was Terezi, but then quickly shuts it when she remembers that Terezi apparently talked to him. Besides if it had been Terezi it wouldn't really have had quite the same effect since for her to know she had actually been naked she would need to lick her while so and maybe she should just stop this train of thought.]

[Now since she had hesitated, she knew that anything other than the truth just wouldn't cut it.]

Um. It was. Karkitty

Karkat? While normally I would be appalled by your taste, in this case it works in our favor. I do not believe he has told anybody about this incident, and nobody will miss a piece of low-b100ded trash, especially one as foul of temperament as he. I'll just go and e%ecute him, as is my right as a member of the aristocracy.

Okay Equius...

[---wait what.]

Wait--no! Equius you can't do that!

I assure you, I most certainly can. I know not what shade pumps through his veins, but it must be wretched indeed if he hides it so throughly. As his b100b100ded superior, me killing him is not only permissible, it's e%pected. And I should hope that you are not suggesting that I lack the necessary STRENGTH to do the deed.

But that's not fair! None of this is even his fault! Don't kill him, Equius, purrease it's not right! And I really, really like him.

[He places his hand on her shoulder. Very gently.]

Nepeta, this is for your own good. Can you imagine the scandal that would ensue if this became common knowledge? You would be a laughing stock. You would never be able to find a respectable matesprit.

The only way to be sure is to kill him.
