Kanaya glanced around one last time as Karkat stood, and a new face caught her attention. Well. Not exactly new. She knew Rose quite well. Or... had... Ugh. That whole situation was all sorts of complicated.

Though her conversation with Eridan nearly -- no, exactly -- two months ago had prompted her to speak to Rose again after their disastrous first date, soon after she'd become entrapped in the whirlwind world of super powers and gods. Not to say she hadn't thought about contacting Rose, but every time she steeled herself to do so she discovered it was much easier to just continue avoiding it.

But now Rose was here. If there was a time she should face this, she supposed it should be now. Or, at least, today, she thought as Karkat began. After the more formal portion of this meeting. Suddenly conscious of how long she'd been staring, she turned her head. She didn't know whether or not she wanted Rose to have noticed.
