Eridan absorbed all that information, nodding to each point, amazed by how all of them seemed pretty close knit, even here. He flipped the final pancake and rescued the bacon from the griddle before putting some eggs on so they could fry up in the bacon grease.

"I miss my Nepeta. A lot. She wwas my moirail, an' wwe just... fell awway from each other. She wwas far from monogamous in the pale, an' neither wwas I to be perfectly honest, but then things fell all to shit wwhen she started seein' one Strider, an' I wwas seein' another. Miss my Strider, too. I lovved her beyond wwords." He sighed and wandered to the fridge to grab some juice to pair with the food.

"I also found my Kanaya. Miss her to death, too. I mean, sure, she cut me in half, but that wwas only after I killed her. One good turn, as they say. Still, though, it's good to knoww that the lot a you are as close as wwe wwere. I knoww Eri is friends with Ara, he goes to hang wwith her sometimes, but I havven't met her. But I'll take your advvice wwhen it comes to lookin' at her straight on. Wwish I had that advvice for him, too, to be honest." He walked back over to nudge at the eggs with the edge of his spatula, then looked over at Gamzee.

"Not to speak ill a him, he's a vvery good kid, I just wwish I hadn't thought to look at him straight on. It's like lookin' at all the sorroww in the wworld."
