Sollux had gotten lost trying to find Kanaya, and was slightly too proud to ask for directions. What he wasn't too proud to do was track her phone's GPS. But that ended up taking longer than expected, and he'd had to pull his laptop out of his backpack and set up his mi-fi.

Long story short, he was a little late, and trying very hard not to be nervous about it. There were several people who were going to be there that he didn't know all that well. Keeping this in mind, he dressed rather simply.

When he got there, he recognized almost everyone, and was happy to see that Tavros asw there. He caught the last bit of Kanaya's introductions, and waved a hello to Karkat.

"I'm Thollux," he said, wincing when the 's' sound comes out thick and not sharp.

Thmooth, dumbath, he thought sarcastically.
