      Kapitel 4: Alien Vampire and Horrorterror Wizard have quality time

“How was your day Kanaya?”
Kanaya, who lay with her head on Rose’s lap, opened her eyes. “Satisfying,
my love.”
“You look way more relaxed than before.”
“I did something I wanted do to for a considerable amount of time.”
“Will you divulge this secret to me, my dear?”
“No, sorry. I can’t tell you about it. Trolls still have some secrets we
have to keep to ourselves at the moment.”
“Your plans to take over earth and enslave humanity?”
“Karkat meant once that humanity would be useless as slaves. Too easy to break
and way too emotional. Well, he said I should tell this fabricated story to
anyone who asked me about the subject.”
“Is he still paranoid?”
“He was paranoid for a great amount of time in his life. It is not easy to
drop all your old mannerisms.”
“I thought he calmed down after everybody found out about his blood
colour?”
“A little. But now he has to avoid worshipers of the Signless. They are pretty
persistent in their view of seeing the reincarnation of their messiah in
Karkat.”
“What about Kankri?”
“He was very happy about the prospect to debate the matter with the
worshipers. After a few minutes they left him.”
“They seem to be pretty smart.”
“In certain cases, certainly.”

Rose fondled the ears of the shining Rainbow Drinker who sighed happily in
return.
“So, other than Karkat's disregard of humanity, what was bothering you?”
“Private matters, my love.”
“Nothing Troll related? Come on, you can talk about everything with me.”
“I know, but it isn’t important. Nothing you have to worry about.”
Rose nodded. Everybody needed their own secrets, and needed to be able to solve
at least part of their own problems. 
But Rose didn’t like that for some reason.
Her feelings told her that Kanaya was very nervous for some reason. Her
knowledge about psychology helped too. Something was eating Kanaya up. Maybe
some serious stuff, at least from the perspective of the troll lady.
“You can talk to me about everything.”
“I know, Rose. But don’t you think I could burden you too much with all the
sorrows I might have accumulated?”
“You’re right... But if it is too much, talk to me. Or anyone else you
trust. ”
Kanaya smiled, suddenly very happy, as she heard that answer. “Thank you.”
“But I would be happy if you told me first. You can trust me.”
Kanayas sudden happiness abated a bit. “Yes... Yes I can.”
