[Those sure were a lot of terms for things Karkat knows jack shit about, but he doesn't snap any of his many questions at Dave like he normally would. Instead, he actually laughs.]

Don't you fucking dare. If you put a single human dick on any article of clothing you give me, I will set it and you on fire.

[Only not, and yes this is definitely too public a place to be falling all over his moirail but he can't fucking stop it. It's too soon after he'd been turned back into a human, too soon after he'd lost his gray skin and horns and everything else for the second goddamn time since coming here, and Dave had given him his sign and clearly knows how big a deal that is to him and...

His eyes are damp and mere moments away from soaking Dave's shirt, but he only hugs him tighter, his shoulders shaking with what's hopefully another laugh. He can't fucking tell anymore.]

Thank you. I'm—fuck, sorry, I should—

[He unwraps an arm from Dave, scrubs quickly at his face because no he is not crying, and flings it around him again. That maneuver was supposed to end with him not engaging in flagrant pale PDA in the middle of a fucking farm, but apparently he failed at that, too.

He's also sniffling again. Because.]

Pale for you. No human dicks, though, I wasn't joking about that.
