I don't think, I wouldn't want you to have to make a third pair either. So... that's good.

They are very helpful and, uh, sturdy legs. And, a great boost to my self-esteem.

[Just please let him never have to lose any other limbs ever again.]

[Good choice, Tavros. Compliment his work, this will win you points with Equius.]

Good. Glad to hear it. You let me know if you need any repairs or maintainence, understand?

You will, definitely be the first one I come to. Though I hope that, perhaps I can learn to, uh, maintain them myself. Just in case.

Not that I hope to get myself into trouble any time soon.

That would be a good idea, actually.

[Because the last you was missing a leg and still had the stump's pain receptors firing for awhile, and Equius still feels kind of bad about that.]

At some point I should teach you basic leg maintainence and care... since you'll undoubtedly fall down at least one or two flights of stairs during your time here.

I would argue that, I would be very careful to avoid stairs, but I don't think it would get me anywhere. And I'm also not sure if, I could back up the argument.

[Given that he was actually still getting used to these and had fallen down a flight of stairs not too long before... Well, before he'd gotten here.]

I would argue that you arguing with me would not be in your best interests.

[He doesn't feel that bad about the leg thing!]

I can, probably agree with that too. Yes.

I'm not looking to argue with, anyone right now. I just, need to figure out what to do otherwise.

Then I'm going to give you a choice.

Do you want me to come down there and explain things to you, or would you rather take your chances that someone else will?

Uhh...

I think... Gamzee is actually coming to see me. So, he might be able to explain a lot.

[Ignoring the fact that this is Gamzee, for a moment.]

Oh. Okay then.

[Equius' voice softens and turns affectionate when Tavros brings up Gamzee.]

I'll leave you to him; he'll be able to assist you in getting settled.

[The change of tone is noted, but Tavros isn't sure he knows Equius well enough to be surprised by it.]

I guess, if I still need help later I can ask you. It was, uh, very generous for you to offer.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Most gracious troll.]

Contact me again once you're settled; I'll start teaching you maintainence on your legs.

Okay!

I will, definitely do that. Time will be, set aside specifically for, uh, legwork.

...Heheh.

Nitram. Nitram.

You seriously did not just...

[Make a clever pun that actually kind of amused him.]

Heh.

Have I, surprised you with my wit? It's... a by-product of my new-found self-esteem.

[So pleased.]

Oh it is, is it? Keep it up then... someday you might actually make a humorous troll.

[The words aren't very friendly, but the tone of voice is.]

Talk to you later, Nitram. Go find Gamzee now.

[Click!]
