Date & Time: July 25th, eveningish?
Location: Equius' home, then about the town
Characters: Equius and Raven!
Summary: Raven takes Equius out for a walk.
Warnings: None so far! Blue people bein' blue?

[She's still not 100% certain she understands how trolls are supposed to work, but at least she has some idea of their relationships, now. After her little chat with Sollux, she's sure that she'll be able to hold something against the other troll if it becomes necessary.

She's grown rather fond of Equius in their time together in the prehistoric. They'd spoken relatively little, but she saw him as, in some ways, a younger version of her friend Hank. Not quite as geeky, maybe, but still quite awkward.

Once she's at his door, she lifts her hand to knock -- and hopes that Sollux isn't the one who answers the door.]

[Mystique's lucky! Equius is the one to open the door, and open he is does, fast, yanking it, practically off it's hinges. Equius snarls, letting go of the door and the now bent in handle before looking at her. He seems to calm a bit just by realizing who this is, but, not a lot.]

Raven, hello.

[An awkward pause, rolling his shoulders. He glances down the hallway of his unit away from the doorway only to look back at her and adjust his shades.]

So... shall we?

Sure thing. The sun far enough down for you?

[She grins. Hopefully he doesn't get too offended over that, but it's fun to rile him up just a little.]

I heard you did a number on your friend's room.

[A pulls in a deep breath and nods, noting her consideration as far as the time of day is concerned. Equius doesn't recognize a joke or a ny poke at fun in her voice, he tends to be dense when it comes to sarcasm after all.]

Yes, though he deserved it.

[A small frown, moving out of his unit and shutting the door with a rather loud slam.]

Oh, I don't doubt that.

[She manages a small smirk and waves her hand out toward the road.]

Anywhere you like to go around here?

Not particularly. [A huff, still feeling his blood pump fast. He doesn't really turn to look at her at all, instead focusing on just walking aimlessly.]

Well, I've got to stop and get some food before I head home. Do you need groceries?

[At least a task would keep his mind off of being angry ... maybe?]

I suppose I could pick up a few things... I am not in some sort of extreme need though- I mean, since you are already looking to head that way. So yes, fine.

[...A little awkward, but he catches himself and simmers down, pursing his lips.]

I imagine you guys probably go through a lot of food, anyway.

[Growing boys and all that, even if she wasn't sure how much or little Sollux ate -- Equius had more muscle mass and that meant food burned off faster, right?]

Yes, we do. How did you manage guessing?

[He's flabbergasted. How did you??? And yes, Equius eats truck tons, especially when he's actively working out as well. Which, well, which is like all the time. Not that he needs to, he's freakishly strong on his own.]

My brother was a teenage boy once, you know. He ate his own body weight, I'm sure.

[Maybe not quite that much, but it had sure seemed like it sometimes.]

Oh- So humans and trolls are alike in that way. Well, I will be 'a teenage boy' for an extremely long time. I doubt I will ever stop eating at this extreme capacity.

I eat more than the average human girl.

[She smirks, shrugging her shoulders.]

Something about metabolism, according to Charles.

You are not an average human girl. [He says rather quickly, not looking in her direction as they walk.]

But yes, I understand what you mean- high metabolism, that makes sense. Is your brother quite intelligent?

Yeah, but don't let him know I admitted that. He really likes to show people himself just how smart he is.

[Show-off that he is. It's endearing most of the time, until he starts using cheesy lines.]

I can understand that. If you are intelligent, it's your right to show exactly how intelligent that is.

[Equius, as said, can understand that! He is a show off as well. The cheesy lines will probably just impress the troll as well, depending...]

[What no, Charles don't hit on Equius]

Maybe, but once someone knows it -- it just seems kind of silly to keep rubbing it in their face.

[No hitting on! Just being impressed, that is all.]

Not at all, you have to make sure it sticks. Though I suppose that depends on how exactly you are reminding them.

Trust me, it's annoying.

[She shakes her head, turning the corner toward the grocery store.]

So your roommate, Sollux. Still mad at him?

Extremely. [Snarl.]

And is that a good thing, or a bad thing?

[How does she troll culture, Equius.]

[He frowns, puffing out his chest a little and staring infront of him, following her lead mostly.]

Bad.

[But... good bad, it's bad but- ugh. He doesn't really know...]

[She kind of suspects it might be that weird good-bad that Sollux had been talking about, but frankly -- well, she doesn't really want to get into that.

She turns the corner into the store.]

Well, uh. I'd say I'm sure he doesn't mean it, but that would be a lie.

[She won't say why he means it, though.]

Yes, I don't know why you would say that then, since you know it's a blatant lie. [A huff, his teeth clenching together. He wants to say he hopes Sollux stays still... despite him trashing the other boy's room. But he still doesn't feel sorry for doing it. The blasted peasant deserved it for insulting Equius a moirail.]

[Equius follows, sure to let her open doors if they don't open on their own. More because he'd just break them if anything.]

Well, I thought it might make you feel better -- but I didn't think you'd believe me anyway.

[And it might mess with -- whatever they need to do for troll hate-mance to happen.]

I don't need to feel better. I'm fine, and, yes, you are right. I wouldn't've.

[How does hatemance even work, how does romance even work.]
