You could probably earn their trust if you gave them what they want.
[Though, Hinata was right, it was hard to really think about though. He still had a hard time thinking of himself as part of that group. He was still an outlier in his mind.]
Everything I touch becomes destroyed, I can't work with everyone.
[But, there was a big difference between trust in something and the ability to hold ones tongue in the moment, which did not have.]
However, I feel like you should do something to at least gain their favor. I don't particularly want to leave the base, and Ursula also agreed I shouldn't. So maybe locking me up would quell their anger a little. At least at you.
i'll handle it they're not mindless beasts, you know. they're my friends.
[Or at least, Dirk and Roxy are.]
let them think whatever they have to as long as they're not hurting us, i don't care what they think of me. and like i said, they're not monsters. nanami will be just fine.
i went over that with her. she's a good friend of mine, and i trust her.
as long as you don't do anything to hurt her family, there's no reason to be afraid of her doing anything to us. the only reason she'd come after me or nanami is if we stood in her way to get to you.
so don't do anything to provoke her, ok? that's the best thing you can do to keep us from getting hurt.
[This was getting more and more frustrating. He had no intentions of hurting anyone, but she had full intentions of hurting everyone connected with him.]
she considers karkat part of her family. they all have this weird relationship i don't want to question too much.
the point stands. you don't have to understand why she's willing to hurt me to get to you. you just have to make sure you don't put her in a position where she feels like she has to.

...maybe don't call someone to apologize and insult them at the same time, though.

[Though he has to think about it a moment.]
But if someone is being purposefully idiotic, it's hard not to comment.
[Casually insulting people was always going to be a thing sadly.]

just trust me on this, ok?

I feel really tired Hinata kun....

[He was tired of this argument.]
She made it sound like it doesn't matter what I do. The fact you haven't kicked me out, or don't want me dead is enough.
text
text
[At least how he was understanding it, which was just making a feedback chamber of escalation.]
text
she'll calm down
just give them time
no one is kicking you out of this base. even they won't do that if it would make URSULA sad. which i'm sure it would.
text
text
not for something like this
text
text
it sounds like you had a rough day making people even more angry at you than they were before
text
text
just remember what i said
