I have still yet to see the elusive John Egbert, so being here will allow me to rectify that situation. [ A smile, and she rests a hand reassuringly on his shoulder. She knows the thought of that battle, in his words, sucks. But worrying won't get anyone anywhere. ] Worry not, Karkat, it is likely far in our future.
I see. I imagine that Dave's instincts as a Knight pushed him forward without thinking, to defend someone. However, so long as he recovers properly, we need not worry. [ She shakes her head. But then at his next statement... ] ...Another version of you? If it had been a past you, I imagine you would have remembered being here at least slightly. If not, then perhaps an alternative self, perhaps from the dream bubbles as our dancestors were? Anything is, perhaps, possible. Even if it makes little to no sense to consider the logic or lack thereof behind such a turn of events. I- [ Ahem. Just gonna... cut that train of thought short right there... ]
Weird to us, yes, especially given the fact that, as you say, an ancestor and descendant should not be around at the same time save for one single exception. The Empress and Heiress alone must bear such a burden, and if what we are told is the truth, only one is to walk away from their fated encounter. [ A little shake of her head. ] So worry not, your feeling that it is unnatural is in fact a natural feeling. That said, I do hope I have proper time to prepare for such an event. From what I understand, there are indeed dress standards and obligations that are to be upheld at a wedding and I would not wish to detract from such a joyous occasion. [ Big smile, biiiiig smile. ] If I am invited, I look forward to it a great deal.
Only if he's bad. But she'll be good so Karkat doesn't freak out.
