"Yeah, I'll do my best," Sollux said, pumping Dirk's hand vigorously and then regretting it. At least he hadn't spilled anything, or thrown up. His track record was improving. "He'll probably crack through continuously, so it'll be a challenge."

Sollux grinned thinking about it, and pulled his hand back. "It was really cool to meet you, dude. Tell Hal I said hi."

Clutching his backpack to his chest, Sollux skedaddled before he could do anything else weird.

He wasn't quite sure he had gotten away with his lies, and as soon as he got home he was going to vent on tumblr about it. About everything. But mostly the powers thing.

It wasn't like he had any powers anyways.
