Before I was ported out I heard about a group of imPorts trying to do something about the level of crime and corruption.
That's kind of you to say, but I'm not sure it's so simple as that. I'm still not sure that my positive influence quite outweighs the negative. Certainly not in anyone with whom I might like to pursue a relationship with. [ She pauses, not sure if she wants to qualify that, but still knowing that she should. ] A positive relationship, at least.
To connect with someone that way, it demands one to...open herself, to expose the other party to so much of herself. There is a remote possibility it would do more good than harm, but I'm not confident that the odds are in its favor.

you never have to apologize for messaging me
its really quite alright
she was a key component in your plans wasnt she
im sorry to hear you may have lost her friendship at least
[ It's a bittersweet feeling. Kanaya's world won't skip a beat without Kate in it, but if it matters to Rose, it matters period. ]

ive let not attending to my own issues hurt others too many times
for me to do anything less would be irresponsible
i worry id only drag everyone else down worse than i do already
because weve been through all that before and thats the exact effect i had

im not only an agent of that group
im sort of their co-founder

how crucial exactly
is there a part she played that couldnt be filled by another party

karkat i am literally always busy
if there is one intrinsic quality of my character it is that im busy
so rather than asking just pretend that the answer i gave you was "no"

EXCUSE ME FOR TRYING TO BE CONSIDERATE!
I COULD JUST INUNDATE YOU WITH CHATTER BUT INSTEAD I TRY AND ASCERTAIN WHETHER THIS IS A GOOD TIME.
DO YOU HAVE A MINUTE IN YOUR INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AND JAM PACKED SCHEDULE TO CHAT?
NO? WELL OKAY THEN! I RESPECT YOUR TIME, SO WHY DON'T YOU GET BACK IN TOUCH WHEN OR, MORE LIKELY, IF THERE EVER HAPPENS TO BE EVEN A SECOND'S WINDOW FOR ME TO TROUBLE YOU IN?

sorry i think you misunderstood me
what i mean to say is that you dont need to worry about whether or not im busy
just take for granted that im not too busy
if i dont answer than im either sleeping or otherwise physically incapable
and in the rare event that i respond by underlining my busyness then something of catastrophic urgency is probably happening
the gulf between me being busy and me being so busy that i cant be interrupted by you is a very wide one

it would be a disservice to say that there are no clues to be had among the lot
but there have been missteps
even so i believe very firmly in the goals that we have been formed to achieve
our purpose is centered on lasting change to the citys deep-rooted corruption over believing the job is done by simply patrolling against street crime

OH.
WELL YEAH OBVIOUSLY ORDINARILY I KNOW THAT AND THAT'S WHAT I'D DO,
AND I'D ASSUME IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO TALK YOU'D JUST CATCH UP LATER.
BUT WHAT I'M PROPOSING NOW ISN'T IDLE CHITCHAT.
YOU KNOW ME, UNLIKE EVERYONE ELSE WHO THINKS THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW THE INS AND OUTS OF EVERYONE ELSE'S PERSONAL LIVES, I MIND MY OWN BUSINESS AND HAVE SOME BASIC RESPECT FOR THE CONCEPT OF PRIVACY.
LIKE, IF THERE'S ONE THING YOU KNOW ABOUT ME, IT'S THAT.
SO YOU KNOW WHEN I ASK IF YOU'RE BUSY AND THEN PROPOSE GETTING DOWN TO THE BUSINESS OF CLEARING THE AIR IN THE ROOM,
THE AIR THAT IS THICK AND SOUPY WITH THE NOXIOUS GASSES THUNDERING FROM THE POWERFUL ASSHOLE OF THE AS YET UNACKNOWLEDGED TRUNKBEAST,
IT'S ONLY AFTER HAVING GIVEN YOU AMPLE TIME TO COME CLEAN ON YOUR OWN, AND DETERMINING THAT THIS IS BECOMING A SITUATION.
SO. ARE YOU BUSY?

[ Sometimes, she really wonders if he wants her to say yes, but at this point she just wants to know what the hell he's even talking about. ]
no
i am not busy
no
i am not busy
GOOD.
WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT YOU AND LALONDE. THAT WHOLE SITUATION.
DON'T YOU AGREE?
YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH TIME TO GIVE ME THE LOWDOWN ON YOUR OWN AND YOU HAVEN'T, SO NOW I'VE HAD TO TAKE MATTERS INTO MY OWN HANDS.

you know come to think of it i might be busy after all
yes i can see my schedule very suddenly and alarmingly filling before my very eyes to so unfortunately prevent me from any further discussion of this topic either now or in the foreseeable future

TOO FUCKING BAD. WE'RE IN THIS SHIT. WE'RE DOING THIS.
YOU CAN'T TELL ME YOU DIDN'T SEE THIS COMING.
LIKE I SAID, I UTTERLY RESPECT YOUR PRIVACY BUT DON'T YOU THINK DEEP DOWN YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS?

im not really sure that i should want to
i dont know anything about us in your timeline or if there would have been anything for you to recognize that i should anticipate the situation being at all relevant to you
our relationship could have taken an entirely different direction under the circumstances as ive had them outlined
maybe another quadrant
maybe no quadrant at all
what situation are you even expecting to see between the two of us

OH, YOU'RE RIGHT, I NEVER CONSIDERED THAT.
IT NEVER CROSSED MY MIND TO CONSIDER WHETHER THINGS WERE JUST DIFFERENT IN THIS TIMELINE, NO BIG DEAL.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I FAILED TO IMAGINE THIS POSSIBILITY.
THIS POSSIBILITY WHERE THE TWO OF YOU ARE JUST REALLY GOOD FRIENDS
DESPITE THE INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS AND FRANKLY SCANDALOUS SNARKY HORSESHIT THAT PASSES FOR FLIRTATION AMONG YOUR KIND FROM HOUR FUCKING ZERO OF YOUR MUTUAL COMMUNICATIONS, YOUR RELATIONSHIP IN THAT TIMELINE IS OBVIOUSLY BEST DESCRIBED AS GAL PALS.
GAL PALS WHO LIVE IN DIFFERENT CITIES AND NEVER SEE EACH OTHER.
AND NEVER FUCKING MENTION ONE ANOTHER.
EXCEPT TO SEND CRYPTIC PRIVATE MESSAGES TO THIRD PARTIES ABOUT HOW TO INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER.
HEY DAVE SO WHEN YOU TALK TO MY BEST FRIEND ROSE, WHO I AM COMPLETELY COOL WITH AND THERE'S NOTHING AWKWARD BETWEEN US WHATSOEVER, TRY TO BE CONSIDERATE OF HER FEELINGS BUT AGAIN I REITERATE KEEP MY NAME OUT OF IT EVEN THOUGH THERE'S REALLY NOTHING WEIRD GOING ON.
DOES THAT RING A DONG SHOUTER.
GIVE ME SOME GODDAMN CREDIT, KANAYA. THAT'S INSULTING.

im not talking about what you dont know its what i dont
i know fully well what we are in my timeline and i know what we have been
but what i dont know is whats going on where youre from
obviously im not going to just voluntarily talk about my relationship problems when the very existence of such a relationship could only further underline how doomed i am
i cant handle that possibility
im not reserving credit from you im simply recognizing my own weakness
why does dave have to detail for you literally everything i say to him to begin with

OF COURSE HE DOES, WHY WOULDN'T HE?
WE'RE BEST BROS FOR LIFE AND WE ABIDE BY A STRICT CODE OF BRO CONDUCT. THERE AREN'T ANY SECRETS BETWEEN US, SO YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT.
BESIDES, HE CARES ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU AND ROSE, TOO, EVEN IF HE DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
I REALLY THINK YOU'RE DEFLECTING RIGHT NOW.
FINE, SOMETHING DIFFERENT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IN OUR TIMELINE.
MAYBE YOU'RE INTO VRISKA AGAIN, THAT COULD HAPPEN. MAYBE ROSE FELL DEEPLY IN FLUSH FOR GAMZEE.
BUT IT DIDN'T, AND NOW YOU KNOW IT DIDN'T, SO SPILL.

i want it noted on the record that if on the timeline ultimately determined to be the alpha i found myself once again flushing for vriska i would be very disappointed not only in my counterpart but paradox space as a whole for not only allowing but in fact demanding it
as for rose and i
im not sure what you want me to say
we were together for a very long time
now we are not
its very complicated
