[ Twilight fades into the darkness of evening, and a whole gaggle of trolls are up on the island to camp out for one very big reason.

One big, angry, honking reason.

But general terror of the Grand Highblood aside, they're still fairly functional in-so-much as trolls ever are. And that's where the shenanigans come in. ]

[That delicious smell of food cooking is sure to attract a certain little green-blooded troll, and sure enough she's soon padding over towards him barefooted, rubbing sleep from her eyes with the back of one hand while her Pounce plushie dangles from the other.

And once she's woken up a little bit more she sure remembers how Signless had been dead to the world for the past few days, and puts on a burst of speed to throw herself at him for a hug.]

[Signless laughs and sets the cooking utensils down, opening his arms to catch her in a giant hug.]

Hey, little kitten!

It's so good to see you awake again! I missed you!

[Her arms go around his neck as she clings to him fiercely, the soft weight of her Pounce plush draped down his back.]

Are you okay?? [Face nuzzles incoming.]

I missed you, sweetheart.

[Happily submitting to nuzzling.]

And yes, I'm fine. Very well rested.

[The endearment has her purring, snuggling so close against him for a few minutes before finally pulling back juuust enough that she can give him a smile.]

That's good! You purrobably needed it, yup yup.

I must have, yes.

[Friendly hair ruffle!]

Are you hungry? Can I fix you some breakfast?

Then I'm furry furry glad you're feeling better and all rested up!

[Heee, rubbing her head against his palm.]

Yes! Yes purrlease. Do I need to hunt down more fur us to eat later on?

All right.

[Signless gives her a plate of eggs and bacon.]

If you would like to, that would be lovely. Fresh meat is always welcome.

[Yaay, delicious food! Hopefully Signless doesn't mind her making rather a mess of herself. Kitties don't have all that many table manners.

There she goes slurping up an egg in one bite.]

Mmm, it's good! Does...did Miss Disciple hunt fur you back home? [She'd been wondering how to broach the topic of her ancestor's disappearance, and this seemed as good a way as any.]

[It's okay, Signless is used to voracious kitty table manners. At the mention of the Disciple, though, his eyes grow distant and far away.]

Yes, she did. Sometimes, her hunting was the only thing that kept us all fed.

[Nepeta pauses in the middle of devouring her meal, mouth scrunching to the side as she looks up at Signless. She sets her plate down and pushes it away in favour of crawling into his lap, a soft, comforting purring sounding in her chest as she hugged him. He’d comforted her when she’d thought she’d lost one of the most important people in the world to her, it’s the least she can do to be there for him when he’s going through something similar.]

I’m so sorry she left. [And at the same time she wonders what kind of difficult life they must all have led. She’d never asked him, but she’d wondered about it more than once.]

[Signless hugs her back tightly; he hasn't talked about it much, or expressed it to anyone except Psii, but he's upset about the Disciple's disappearance, and he needs this hug. Especially when it's accompanied by very soothing, very familiar purring.]

Thank you, little one.

She'll find her way back to you, you'll see!

[Nepeta holds him and after a brief hesitation reaches up to gently stroke the back of his head. She's allowed to comfort him like this, right? He's her dad after all. Even if she's not quite sure how that works, but Pounce had always been happy to let her pet her into feeling better when something upset her - even if thorns stuck in one's paw wasn't anything like losing a matesprit.]

And you'll have us with you until then too, I purromise. [Yes, she's including her dear new 'brother' in that whether he knows about it or not. Somehow she doesn't think Karkat will mind too much.]

I know she will.

[Signless tilts his head into the gentle stroking, realizing how nice it feels to be the one being comforted for a change. Not that he would ever deprive any of the children anything, but it's nice to know that someone is looking out for his well-being too.]

Not even death could keep us apart. She found her way here once, she'll do it again.

[He smiles at Nepeta, so like his Kitten, and touches the side of her face.]

And until then, I have the rest of my family here to keep me company.

Yes, yes, she will.

[Though it feels like a fist squeezing itself around her heart to be reminded he's dead, Disciple is dead, even Nepeta herself is...

That just makes her cuddle on him all the more determinedly, patting at his cheeks and at his hair, even rubbing his back although she couldn't reach very well.

She smiles back at him when he touches her face; it's not her most cheerful smile ever, but it's still bright enough with how glad she is to have him here.]

Yes - yes! We'll all keep you company and we'll all stay together and efurything will be fine.
