[Excuse you, you disrespectful little brat. It should be common knowledge by now, from their time on the meteor, that such aggressive confrontations usually result in something like this as far as Equius is concerned... It's not his fault you didn't think of that! And not his fault his sweat glands are over active either.]

[Equius's nose scrunches, upper lip sneering as he growls in response, teeth grinding hard. The nerve. After after what happened with Aradia... Must the lowblood egg him on further?]

Again, I can assure you. What I say is the truth. I will not doubt the Princess's fraternization with a twit of your stature, she exercises the strangest of mannerism anyway. But from what I remember before being taken here is what I have said.

[And then quickly.]

And I am NOT a pervert! I am merely getting nervous... that's all. [A breath, doing his best to loosen his tensed muscles and return to the stance he was in before. Again his towel meets his neck and Equius takes a deep breath, closing his eyes for a moment.]

[Really... really wish Nepeta was here, a pleasant thought before Equius hitches again, teeth grinding.]

Blast me thro- Captor, stop with the threats. [Gasp. Don't get off on it you say?] If you don't wish to believe me then don't I don't care. Perhaps is Vantas shows up here as well you can ask him.
