[ Karkat will remain passed out for a few hours. BenfromLost, for his part, is doing a fantastic job defending him from the assortment of creatures that meander around the misty city. Except for a small herd of Tinkerbulls. They swoop in a cuddle up right next to the half-dead Dumblekat. When he finally does stir he only manages to groggily twitch and squirm. Blearily he opens his eyes and peers into the dark at his cuddle companions.

In his mind they are all Tavros. Collectively Tavros. To be fair, the buzzing of their wings does sound a lot like "uHHHHHHHHHHHH," ]

What're you doing here? I go looking for Eridan and find you? C'mon Tav I know you're pathetic but you can't be riding on the coat tails of Eri's own pathetic abduction. Pathetiception.

[ The grumbling doesn't seem to deter them. Go figure. ]

Tavros you're not even wearing a shirt. Here, you can have mine. Never claim that I wasn't a good friend-- I mean, okay, I'm actually kinda a shitty friend, but I am literally giving you the shirt off my back. Friends do that. And you are my friend. Cherish this sweet moment my sad little bosombuddy.

[ He then feverishly staggers to his feet, clumsily takes his shirt off, and gingerly places it over a few of the Tinkerbulls. A big ugly rash has developed on his chest. Sorta hard to tell under that turtleneck though. ]
