[he sure does have a point there! because after you get out of this cave - and you're pretty sure it's a quest, you just have to find out what it is you're questing for - it'll be back to pesterchat until the game is finished and then what? That train of thought kind of makes you really sad so you quickly stop thinking it. That is not a track you want to go down right now!]

But Karkat that's what friends are for, for you to rely on them! And I might not be around all the time but when I am around, why can't you lean on me a little? I really want to help you, gosh! I know that you think I'm annoying and you're mad about that thing that I don't think we're suppose to talk about anymore but damn it, let me help you!

[....you're pretty sure that didn't hold a candle to Karkat's PASSIONATE SPEECHES but it got your point across, anyway!]
