Although it'd be just my luck if you'd suddenly decided otherwise.

Or forgotten entirely.

Huh, what is it?

Ah, here.

Consider it less a gift, and more just proof of my ability.

And I had no orange wool, so you'll have to settle for blue and purple.

........ You actually made it???????? ::::0

I did indeed say that I would, did I not?

I am not one to be made a fool of, especially through my own inaction.

It's so fluffy!

Well, it's supposed to be some sort of... 'cuddly companion', is it not?

Yes! :::: D

He has a little string on his back, too. In case you want to... string him from something.

38O

I do hope you... appreciate this gesture. But don't count on it happening again.

It's not a gift, or some weak attempt at bridging percieved gaps.

She's gr8! 8ut why would I want to hang her up, she's coming adventuring!

... you could hang him up whilst you rest, in lieu of a web for him to lurk on?

Common sense, Vriska.

Why wouldn't I 8e sleeping with her? ::::\

I thought spiders liked snoozing up high on their little webs.

What say you rolled over onto him whilst you were sleeping? Would you not crush him (supposing he were not made of wool, of course).

........ Lalonde. She is made of wool.

Well, yes, I did know that. But is realism not one of the key points of how to treat one's... 'imaginary' pets?

She is squishy and fluffy, I have my real spiders for realism. She sleeps with me.

It was just a suggestion, Vriska.

No need to get all strung up about it.

ii 2ee what you diid there.

ehehehe.

I sea w)(at you did t)(ere too.

>::::|

38)

I am not strung up a8out it.

Hehe.

What are you laughing a8out????????

Never mind it, Vriska.

Why do I always do what?

I do a lot of things consistantly.

Fine.

Fine is no answer to my request of clarification, Vriska.

You know what I meant. I just can't 8e 8othered dragging an answer out of your stu88orn mouth.

It was a genuine question, actually.

Here I am, baring my ego for all to see in that I was a tad confused by what you meant.

And you don't even have the decency to set me on the right track of conversation?

She is not ridiculous!

And I was talking a8out "Never mind, Vriska."

If you saw the pattern I had to follow for him, you'd probably agree.

And I always do that because whatever it is is never worth the concern you seem to place on it.

It's simple, really.

Oh, so you're just lazy then.

I should have figured.

There is a difference between laziness and practicality.

Sure. And you're lazy.

It'd simply be pointless to get into a full-blown explanation about something that doesn't matter.

And I'm only as lazy as every other average teenaged girl has ever been.

What? You love doing that! You only say "Never mind, Vriska" to me!!!!!!!!

* walks back in, face freshly (and vigorously) scrubbed, to find the two girls squabbling like children*

At The Risk Of Using This Expression Incorrectly

What The Devil Is Going On Here

Oh, noooooooothing, Rose is just 8eing ridiculous again. >:::: (

That So

I Dont Know That Rose Is Actually In The Habit Of Being Ridiculous

She totally is! She never explains herself!!!!!!!!

Vriska There Are Many Things You Could Conceivably Accuse Rose Of Being But I Do Not Think Overly Taciturn Is One Of Them

And yet she refuses to explain!

Perhaps She Doesnt Need To And You Are Just Being Obtuse As Is Your Wont

I'm not 8eing o8tuse!!!!!!!! She's 8eing ridiculous and mean and won't explain and she only does it to me!

Okay You Need To Calm Yourself And Sit Back Down Before You Tantrum Yourself To Death

* fusses her back onto the couch and notices the fuzzy little spider doll*

How Adorable

Whered You Get This From

Rose. >::::\

Wait

You

* her eyebrows nearly shoot off her forehead*

You Got This From Rose

As In She Made It For You

Yes.

It wasn't a gift.

Forgive Me But I Was Under The Impression That Presenting A Toy To Someone Free Of Charge Merely For The Sake Of Giving It Definitely

Qualifies That Toy As A Gift

Which Brings Me Nicely To My Next Statement Which Goes Something Like

What The Hell

It wasn't a gift, I assure you.

It was merely proof of my skill, and nothing more.

Which Means That You Crafted It With Extra Care Is That Correct

Most certainly.

In Short You Rose Lalonde Put Your Blood And Sweat And Possibly Tears Into Knitting A Baby Spider Plush Toy For Vriska Serket

Does Anyone Else See Something Wrong With This Sentence Or Is It Just Me

I- specifically to prove to her my abilities with knitting needles.

Okay Remember That Statement I Made Just Previously About You Not Being In The Habit Of Being Ridiculous

I Would Now Like To Rescind That Statement

How on earth am I being ridiculous? How was I to prove myself without making the stupid little bugger?

It's no fault of mine she appreciated such a ridiculous gesture.

You Just Admitted It Was Ridiculous

* pinches the bridge of her nose*

I Dont Even Know What To Do With The Two Of You

... I. I'm going to quite whilst I'm ahead, I think.

Might I just hand you the metaphorical shovel, as to avoid digging myself any deeper?

I Will Gladly Take Your Metaphorical Digging Implement And Put It Away In The Metaphorical Shed Where It Will Cease To Embarrass Both Of Us

She made it really fluffy. :::: )

How sweet.

Shoo.

But why?

Either way, I will go nowhere.

Thank you, Kanaya. It's much appreciated.

And of course it was fluffy. The best quality wool I could find was ridiculously soft and horrendously fluffy.

And really cuddly!

Indeed, very cuddly.
