[as trolls who could have overheard this go, Tavros is actually probably the second-best case scenario you could have here, after Kanaya. Kanaya would be better because you KNOW she can keep her mouth shut. you know full well Tavros isn't going to turn you in himself, but quite frankly you're terrified he'll tell Gamzee something and then your pitiful, sopor-drunk moirail will go on some tangent to the wrong person about what a miracle his moirail is and then bam, culled!]

Don't say a word to Gamzee.

[you hope it looks like you're shaking with rage

even though it's definitely not rage]
