[usedshooshpap]

Who: Karkat and Kimblee

Rating: PG-13 because Karkat
Log:

[ Karkat is presently sitting at the front of the PokéCenter. it's really the easiest place to bring up as a point to meet at. to be honest, he hasn't had that great of a day and add in the fact he is, yes, kind of missing Gamzee's presence ( even if the guy had disappeared on him ). the kid doesn't know when he's going to go back and see everyone. could be another six months or so, you know?

that's when he had remembered that Kimblee had wanted to try to catch him ( and vice versa really ) while Karkat is in Goldenrod. what better time than now?

Leopold is at his side, as per usual, only half paying attention and Static is in his usual place as well: Karkat's hair. he has no idea what to expect, but oddly? talking to Kimblee has usually helped to distract or help him in some way. so this is a good thing. yupp. totally. ]

[Kimblee couldn't say that he had been expecting the message Karkat had sent him (not really, anyway, as promises to meet up nowadays were a dime a dozen and didn't necessarily mean they would be followed through on); it was a combination of boredom and...interpersonal issues at the base that made him more than pleased to respond immediately with agreement with regards to meeting. Most things were going as he had hoped they would, if not better; however, relations with Archer were becoming strained for reasons he couldn't quite sort out, and though he knew it likely wasn't helping, he was perfectly content to distance himself from them.

He was fairly sure this sort of thing was what had caused so many issues for him in the past; he couldn't really say he cared.

But for the time being the distraction is nice, as is the fact that the weather had been solidly above freezing for the last good while now. He's carrying Thetis, his Flareon, close to his body anyway, the warmth of the creature radiating through his gloves and the closed front of that long overcoat he always wears in the winter; he's dressed all in white, as usual, and his long ponytail is done up so neatly that it had to have been fussed with immensely moments before he went out.

He doesn't seem overly tense, however - and neither does Thetis, who's taking to batting at those long strands of hair that always manage to fall to the sides of Kimblee's face; he's nothing if not punctual, walking into the Center and idly reaching up to press Thetis' head down a bit such that he can actually seek out the individual he came here to meet.

He hadn't seen much of Karkat, admittedly; the times they had spoken over a video feed had been very few, the last time being several months ago. However, now that he's actually getting a look at him, something manages to fall into place with a rather resounding mental slam -

They had met in person once before, hadn't they? Granted, Kimblee hadn't been coherent enough to realize; Karkat hadn't seen his face. But just the same...well.

Interesting.]

Ah...Karkat?

[He keeps any thoughts he may have had just now off his face; there's a vague upward pitch to the name, rendering it a question but not-quite. Verifying recognition, nothing more, a light smile present across his features.

...this is totally a good thing. Totally.]
