[Okay, Aradia was going to do this. She was going to do this and she was going to do this like a damned adult... troll.

Either way, she had brought herself back down to the bubble, sending the windy aries a quick message.]

[And she actually zooms off to the park. Whenever she arrives, she parks (haha) herself on a lovely little hill out in the open. There is certainly a lot on her mind right now, and the outcome of this conversation is one of them. She just... really hoped that something good would come out of it, whatever the conversation leads to.]

cries forever.

[longwinded]

alrighty then

[John makes it a point to follow the directions to the park carefully. But only after he'd left a note to REASSURE DAVE that he wasn't like up a disappearing once again. Just uh, going to the park to talk to that troll chick about what was going on and what had happened before he hadarrived.

Right. Then. Looking around and oh well the only person at the park was on a nice open hill, the breeze rolling through the park was nice. He sits right next to her.]

Hey. How's it going? [This must be hard for Aradia, huh..]

cries 5evr.....

[0_0]

[And she waits. She takes the time to take in the environment again, glancing to the surroundings. It was lovely being here, and as much as she did enjoy being on the island, she enjoyed the city a lot more.

Yep, that pretty little troll chick with her godliness on. She turns her attention to him, pulling her legs up to her chest and crossing her arms over them. ]

Hi. It's a lot better than it was the previous week, I really did miss being down here and being able to live here again. [Really hard, but it must be hard for John as well.]

/tissues

[longwinded]

Why weren't you able to live here?

[Not like John would remember any tyranny that went on last week. So Aradia would have to explain. They could avoid the main subject for a while longer, they could spend a little time together.

John was becoming anxious, and was thinking about just not having this conversation. It wasn't like him to automatically want to fix something like this. But damn his Dad raising him well, and damn him being the boy/man he was!

Growing up sucks.]

/gently wipes eyes.

[0_0]

Yeah. There's a really dangerous troll roaming about, and he had been here before. We all had originally fled to the island in the first time, but I had to stay behind for reasons.

[At least Aradia is good with at least telling the information needed without causing too much alarm. She gives a sigh, adding on.]

You were there during that time, the first time, and you fled with the rest of them. This time around, you weren't obviously, but we all still fled to the island before it was safe to come back down.

[She nods, so glad to actually be here again.]

It wasn't that terrible, I actually ended up staying down here a few weeks before I was taken to the island. I was looking for someone, even though my search didn't turn out in my favor.

u///u

[longwinded]

He was mentioned to me by Karkat. He told me to stay away? I don't know what to make of it since I don't really know what he looks like. I don;t want anyone hurt though,

[He brings his knees up to his chest. Looking over to the Maid of Time.] Aradia. I think it's time I get to the point here.

You would be alright if we started over again has friends right? Or did you really want this relationship. [The advice of a mouse would probably have been better heeded here.]

Not that I would you know...jump right back into a relationship! What I'm trying to say is I need to get to know you again. Where I am in the timeline, I've really contacted Karkat only!

So until I came here, I was aware that you existed--just didn't know you!! [Let us all watch as John digs himself an awkward whole he will never get out of.]

u//u//u

[0_0]

He's a big and dangerous adult troll. He looks similar to Gamzee - who you will see sooner or later, I'm sure - but much larger, and more wild looking.

[She looks to the boy, smiling sheepishly.] No, no, I would never want to force you back into the relationship. If... if we do go back to our relationship as before, I want it to be the same experience. And if we end up not becoming matesprits again?

[She pauses, placing her hand onto his, giving a gentle squeeze.] Then I'd love to still be your friend, no matter what happens.

[A small chuckle, she did understand.] Of course, the you that was here prior to your entry was much further down the timeline, in fact, he didn't know of myself until he came here as well.

[longwinded]

[Well, later this same night he's going to have a run in with him. And like, ollie outie so fast you don't even see him.]

That's a good thing to hear Aradia. I'm glad we can still be friends even though I know it's going to be super awkward for a little bit. [John turns his hand to grasp hers. Squeezing it back. This is super awkward- but it was to comfort her.]

I think a relati-- matespritship comes with a good friendship first. Only when one being fully trusts the other. [He chuckled.] I'm only thirteen though, what do I know?

[0_0]

[WELP. Good thing he was able to ollie outie then.]

Right, but promise not to act too awkward around someone who we were both taking care of. [The hand does give her some comfort, smiling a bit. It... really was hard for her, honestly, but it wasn't the first time she's had to do something similar to this.

Before he questions it, she adds on. ] The previous John was helping me take care of a chocobo chick, we had given her the name "Indiana Cage". I know for a fact she'll be delighted to see you again.

[Ahh, it was so silly, but she loves her little darling like no other.] Exactly.

And if we don't become matesprits again, or if... someone else steals away our blood pushers, [She places her free hand over her heart. She's still smiling, but she's obviously masking the sadness in her heart.] then I still honestly do want us to stay friends - or at least try to - because I only want the best for us, no matter what it may be.

[longwinded]

[oh yeah definitely. He wasn't planning on staying around smelly breath!]

We're taking care of a chocobo chick? [this makes the second one John will see in Vatheon. He has Game to play with at home and he will have a reason to see his new friend Aradia because of Indiana.]

I would love to help take care of Indiana Cage again. Well, my first time. But the chick won't know any different. Are we like, mom and dad to this chick? Does it need our mad parenting skills?

[John was naive, John was immature. But he didn't know that with the things he's been through- it helps him see through most things. He can definitely look at this in an adult manner.]

I promise you Aradia. We will be friends if we don't become matesprits again. I can't be that guy who just ditches a lovely girl like yourself completely. Especially when I'm fixing something someone else broke. [He squeezed her hand again, reassuring her. Let's now break up the tension.]

Indiana Cage, huh?
