"Karkat needs a role model on this rock doesn't he? I'm willing to step up to the plate." Opposite her Dave is slumped about as far as he can go.

He considers tossing her the book but throwing books doesn't seem right somehow. "Just some slam poetry, trolls are really shit at it. If you were wondering." Of course she wasn't, and he feels like an idiot for just saying it.

"Oh? And here I thought they held it to be one of their culture's greatest art forms." If this gets any more awkward, she's getting out her needles and pulling an Oedipus. It would be a fitting punishment. Or setting herself on fire or something good and drastic. "You did seem particularly engrossed."

"Have you seen troll culture? They have movie titles that take as long to read as it does to watch the movie." He shrugs, "it was interesting. Different to the stuff on earth." He never thought he'd miss youtube as much as he does on this rock. Hell, he misses the comments.

For a moment, the awkward rigidity becomes an uncharacteristic slouch. This isn't working either. Awkward conversation: several thousand, Rose Lalonde: zero. She sits back up as if she hadn't moved.

Talking to him had never felt this uncomfortable before, and she can't help but feel it's entirely her fault. Stupid. Stupid feelings and their utter refusal to stop just getting in the way. Stupid her. "Point taken. I've done some small forays into the subject, but Kanaya assures me that she would be a terrible teacher. And the few slam poems I have read were... Something." Troll romance novels were much more interesting.

Missing Earth is a problem she can relate to. For... a number of reasons.

He pokes the cover of the book he was perusing, "Yeah you don't say I swear every second line is a mildly horrifying reenactment of innards being pulled to outards in some way. But once you get past the gore the true shit comes with the flow. They don't have any. It's like it's just missing from their genetic code." He's babbling and insulting an entire species all at once. His pokerface stays in check but he's going to try and keep a better lid on that. No way Rose is going to find that shit endearing and he's only making the tension between them thicken.
