Date & Time: April 29th; evening time.
Location: Unit 206
Characters: Eridan Ampora and Nepeta Leijon
Summary: Nepeta comes looking for Equius, but instead finds one grumpy as hell seadweller.
Warnings: Nothing.

Quite frankly, this entire place got on his nerves. If it wasn't his roommates, it was his fellow trolls. If it wasn't the other trolls, it was someone else. If it wasn't someone, it was something. Everything here just seemed to chip away at his patience, until eventually he had no other option but to lock himself away in his room and just do nothing. It wasn't much of an existence. He'd hoped this whole war scenario would've been a lot more interesting, a lot more active, but it was dull and stagnant. How he hated it.

At the moment he's laying on his bed browsing the network, but nothing really catches his attention. God knows if he made any attempts at communicating with any of these people it'd just end up in an argument again anyway. That's how things always end.

With a little huff, he closes his netbook and rolls onto his back, staring at the ceiling.

How utterly pointless.

Nepeta tried to swing by at least once each day to check up on how her moirail was doing. It wasn't hard considering that she wasn't particularly busy here. Even though she still tried to read through her books for Balamb to keep up with her studies, and trained, there were so many hours in the day where she found herself doing little. It wasn't a very good state for a excitable girl like her, who always needed something to do or else she became restless.

Equius was in large part what made this place bearable, so visits were as much for her sake as it was to make sure he steered away from the Condesce.

She gave a loud knock on the door, and waited patiently outside, arms folded behind her back.

Admittedly, his first instinct was to remain where he was. Usually when there's a knock on the door, it's either for Equius or Sollux. Noone visits for him. But why would they? He'd made no friends here and was still pretty much convinced the others had all condemned him for what he'd done and were trying to isolate him from the group. Answering the door would be futile, because he'd just end up turning whoever it was away and he really should save himself the walk, as short as it is.

Eventually however, there's no sign of anyone going to answer the knock. He's a little peeved, but reluctantly slides off of the bed and leaves his room, dragging his feet as he approaches the front door.

"I'll fuckin' get it then, wwill I!? You lazy bastards."

After a moment or two spent unlocking the door, he pulls it open; Nepeta. Right, of course. He doesn't offer much in the way of a greeting, half-turning on the spot in the direction of Equius' room.

"Eq! Nep's here."

[...]

A huff, and then he turns back towards Nepeta.

"He mustn't be here."

Nepeta isn't surprised to see Eridan. She knew he and Equius were room mates, along with Sollux. She waits while he calls for Equius, and is a little disappointed when it seems he isn't around.

"Well boo." On the other hand, she's glad he isn't remaining cooped up inside. For a moment she's about to thank Eridan and take her leave, but something keeps her feet there. She can't say she has always regarded Eridan favorably, but past discussions with a Eridan have made her less prepared to just label him as a creep. She looks at him for a moment, considering, before speaking up again.

"Well, are you purrticularly busy right now?"

"Busy? Betwween starin' at the ceilin' an' arguin' ovver the netwwork wwith certain people, I'd say I got nothin' but spare time on me."

He decides against mentioning who it is specifically, since she probably wouldn't take too kindly to him bitching about Feferi. Still, even he's a little surprised by the question, quirking a brow. He's curious now.

"Wwhy? You need somethin'?"

"Well I'm here. You're here. And we haven't really talked since I furst arrived, right? So we should talk." This might end up being a really unpleasant conversation, but Nepeta really did want to extend the olive branch. "What have you been up to?"

Well, that's unexpected. The surprise might be evident on his face for a moment, but he tries to maintain his composure, shaking it off and clearing his throat.

"Oh, uh...yeah. Sure. Nothin'. Nothin' much I mean. As in I ain't doin' much cause there's nothin' really to do, is there?"

A pause, as he steps to the side.

"You wwanna come in or somethin'? Unless you been meanin' to just keep this convversation goin' out in the hall. Wwhich you can. I guess."

She nodded, stepping inside. The common room was a familiar one by now, but she still found it interesting to see how it differed from the one that she shared with Rai and Jericho.

"Nah there really isn't I mean besides train and train some more I guess but even that gets boring after a while. Not like they give us a lot of freedom here, is it?" She did a slow 180 around the room before they returned to Eridan.

"Have things been any better here with Equius and Sollux?"

"Oh, I ain't seen Sol in a wwhile. The guy stays awway from me, I stay awway from him wwhich is a wwhole load better. Me an' Eq-"

Awkward; he bothers Equius a lot actually. A lot.............uh.....

"...I don't see much a' him either. Honestly it's just better things go this wway or else god knowws wwhat'd happen, y'knoww.

...

You...doin' okay wwith your roommates?"

She raises an eyebrow at Eridan when he pauses at the subject of Equius. "Were you guys able to clear up the whole mess with the cleansing block?" She of course couldn't help but wonder what that pause might have meant, and knew that they had had that tiff over some things Equius had broken.

She plopped down on the floor, not seeming to care that there were seats around. "Oh I really like them so far! Both of them are human, one is named Rai and the other is Jericho. They're both really, really nice and funny. So far I haven't had any problems with either of them."

"That's the thing, he wwent ahead an' fixed it, then broke it again! Then says if I keep askin' it puts him off doin' it. It's not like I ask him a lot or anythin'." Except it genuinely is incessant bothering on his part. Hell, everyone knows Eridan here sure knows how to be persistent. Maybe he can move the conversation away from Equius..

"..yeah I nevver heard a' either a' those two. I'm sure they're great." Spoken with a noticeable lack of enthusiasm. Like he cares about her roommates, but he's trying. He takes a seat on a chair closest to her, leaning forward and resting his arms on his lap folded.

"Howw about the others? Y'knoww, Kar an' the rest. Spoken to 'em yet?"
