[ Aradia's flipped back into "normal" mode, i.e. being a troll - mostly. She's flickering between each version of herself without any real rhyme or reason, although she normally won't flip in a conversation. Therefore people may come across a) Aradia the fairy time-skipping troll, b) Aradia the ghost, c) Aradia the frog spirit, or d) Aradia the robot. She is also sometimes e) still Routeanized human. Depending on which she is at any given time she may or may not have different speaking quirks and personalities - or a lack thereof.

It's sort of a headache, but she's used to juggling things like this anyway. Feel free to catch any of them at any time in any place because why not.

When she turns on video, she's a fairy time-skipping troll as per usual. ]

This again? I wonder how much we'll remember, and how much we'll forget. Either way, this is what I meant by "troll", to those of you who asked. [ A smile, wide and open. ] If you remember, now you'll know!

This really is my favorite form. I've been...hiccuping? I don't know what you'd call it, but this is the best one!

Mm. I was hoping this might be different. [She had heard about all that, but arrived after it had happened.]

I cannot say I look forward to being human again.

I don't mind being human. I miss being this, but of everything I've been - it's not a bad choice.

[ It's not dead, after all. Or a robot. Or a frog. ]

I'm not sure how long this will last. Although it occurs to me you'll require different sustenance now!

There are...worse alternatives, yes.

[Kanaya nods.]

I will. Although I did not have to eat frequently, it's possible I won't have to...

[She does WANT to though.]

Well, if you need to, I do hope you know you can count on me there.

Is troll or human blood more preferable, anyway?

Both are acceptable, though I prefer troll.

And thank you, Aradia. That is very kind of you.

Is it bad that your answer makes me curious about what blood tastes like? Though I doubt I would find it the least bit palatable.

Human blood tastes like iron. Universally.

Ours tends to vary by blood color, but I've found them all...enjoyable. [She looks a tad embarrassed about that, but shrugs.]

You never know. Supposedly there are humans who drink blood because they wish to be a vampire, not because they are. They must enjoy it?

Hm. I might not like that, then.

What does my blood taste like? [ Aradia Kanaya's probably never tasted yours. And she looks more curious than anything else. ]

I suppose!! I am mostly just curious, though, I don't know if I think it would be appetizing.

Well, I would say you won't know unless you try but most people wouldn't wish to try, I imagine.

[She hesitates. because she's always wondered...]

I don't know, Aradia, I have never tasted your blood.

Well, you do have the offer, now. ...What about everyone else's?

...Are you sure?

[She almost laughs at that.]

Karkat tastes like...something akin to a tomato. And Terezi like the human blueberries.

Of course! I wouldn't have said so if I weren't.

[ look she can't help being curious, although she could probably have asked Terezi, too. ]

Oh, I like blueberries! So I suppose that wouldn't be so bad. ...Although you're making it sound like we're all fruits.

Perhaps it is just my mind equating tastes to the nearest thing I can really relate it to. [A little smile.] Or maybe we are all simply fruit.

Well, then. When you a moment, admittedly, I could use...ah...a 'bite.'

[Yes she made that joke.]

[ Yes she laughed at that joke. And no one was surprised. ]

I have a moment! I have lots of moment. I do, after all, seem to have an excess of time right now.

[That elicits a soft, ladylike groan from the rainbow drinker.]

Well. If you are absolutely certain...ah. Perhaps we should move inside.

[ YOU KNOW YOU LOVE HER JOKES, KANAYA. although really only john and jake find them actually funny usually... ]

Of course! Lead the way.

[Kanaya thinks they're funny, she's just far too classy to laugh openly at them! And she just nods as she leans aradia back into the hotel, though once they're there, she can't help looking a tad nervous. She tries to project a sense of rainbow drinker control but it's never been her strong suit.]

Ah...you should probably sit down. And I have band-aids available for after, and...[A faint blush, the color infusing the glow from her skin.] And where would you prefer I...bite you?

[ Aradia doesn't seem nervous in the least - but then, she actually doesn't often seem to be nervous. Maybe she'd shown that before everything else, but...death had a way of putting things in perspective. ]

Oh, of course! [ She took a seat on the couch without prompting, although the wings were...not exactly ideal for this situation. ...Probably best to lose the wings for the moment. ]

Ah...I don't really have a preference? Wherever you think is best. You're the rainbow drinker, after all.

[Kanaya nods but doesn't answer for a moment, trying to make up her mind. She had her own...preferences...but generally found that it was a certain intimacy most people weren't comfortable with.]

Your wrist is suitable.

[She finally said as she sank down onto the couch next to the other troll, resting a small tupperware container on her lap and then reaching a glowing hand out for Aradia's.]

[ That gets an amused look and a raised eyebrow. ]

Suitable? That doesn't sound like preferable, Kanaya!

[ But she holds out her own hand to Kanaya without a second thought, obviously at ease. ]

I...will admit my own preference is for the neck. [She looks so embarrassed as she says this.]

I cannot say for certain if it is a side effect of the books I indulged in, or an actual biological preference for rainbow drinkers. But...it is still true.

[And yet she seems perfectly prepared to bite Aradia's wrist.]

I asked which you preferred! Why didn't you just say that? I don't mind, if that's the preference.

[ HONESTLY. ]

Well. [God so embarrassed why are you so relaxed Aradia.]

The neck seems more...intimate...than other places. I did not think...

Edited 2013-07-05 04:14 (UTC)

You're one of my best friends! I think we ought to be past the point of being awkward about things.

You would think. [Kanaya says this mostly to herself, still holding Aradia's hand. She considers it for a moment, then looks over at the other troll, then nods.]

...Very well. You will have to turn and face me more.
