[This was going to be a post about how she thinks she's pregnant due to a wish to have another child. But someone just thought about how she wished she were young again, to fix Kankri's death, to be that age.

And well.

Careful what you wish for. Also she's teen pregnant cause that wish didn't disappear either]

[You know how married couples sometimes have mindmelds without even realizing it? Three guesses who was having one of the same ideas around the same time his wife was and it had nothing to do with pregnancy.]

I'M HAVING TROUBLE FINDING MINE TOO. EVERYTHING'S TOO LONG AND I CAN'T FIND MY PREFECT'S BADGE?
I THINK MAYBE SOMEONE'S TRYING TO MESS WITH US.

DO YOU WANT ME TO PICK YOU UP SOMETHING GINGERY FROM THE KITCHEN, SWEETIE? IT MIGHT HELP YOUR STOMACH.

:( < not any old enough to write
:3 < purrhaps you're thinking of another di?

[selfhatred]

N-NO I ONLY KNOW TWO PEOPLE WITH THAT INK COLOUR AND...

[A sudden thought occurred in his head - what if Nepeta was affected by this? Okay, Vantas, just breathe.]

...MY NAME IS KARKAT VANTAS.
I'M SAL'S NEPHEW THROUGH HIS OLDER BROTHER.

[glaringprotego]

:O < oh oh he had a kid?
:3 < why didn't he tell Sal?
:3 < well it's very nice to m33t you karkitty

[selfhatred]

[Yep. Fears confirmed. She doesn't know who he is.]

UH HE...UH...WANTED IT TO BE A SURPRISE.
I JUST TRANSFERRED FROM SALEM'S INSTITUTE AT THE START OF TERM.
IT'S...NICE TO MEET YOU TOO.

[glaringprotego]

X3 < it's so nice to m33t you

:3 < you purrobably haven't heard of me
:3 < i'm in hufflepuff

[selfhatred]

I HAVE A SPARE GRYFFINDOR UNIFORM IF YOU WANT IT?
I KNOW IT'S NOT HUFFLEPUFF BUT IT'S THE BEST I CAN DO.

[Because fuck if he's going to subject Nepeta to this.]

WHERE ARE YOU?

[glaringprotego]

:3 < hee i think i might get in trouble
:3 < borrowing sal's scarf is one thing but i will purrobably k33p looking
:O < oh i'm in the entrance hall right now

[selfhatred]

[Instead of answering, Karkat starts making his way to the entrance hall, but stops short when he sees her. Yep, even as young as she was there was no mistaking his aunt. He bit his bottom lip before tucking his journal into the back of his pants and hesitatingly making his way towards her, shifting the hoodie into his hands.]

Uh...mu...Dierdre?

[glaringprotego]

[She's bouncing up the moment she sees him. The resemblance is undeniable and she runs over. The only unusual thing is that her herd of cats isn't around. Warily avoiding her until she returns to normal. The bright smile turns a little queasy when she comes to a stop]

Ugh I have something wrong with my stomach--you must be Karkitty? Er--Karkat. Sorry, it's a pawful habit I know.

[selfhatred]

[His lips twinge a little with a smile before he shakes his head. Nepeta took after her mother alright. He paused before realizing he was still holding onto the hoodie, holding it out for her.]

It's...it's okay. I know s...I mean it's fine. Here. I didn't know what size you were and it's not any House, so it should be fine to wear. I mean I haven't gotten into trouble yet.

[glaringprotego]

Then that's good enough for me. [ Dierdre takes his hoodie and spins around pull it on. She lifts her hair out of it in a practiced motion and looks back at him] Thank you, it's comfy. I hope Sal doesn't get jealous that I'm taking his relative's clothes now.

[Though there's a laugh. Like Sal has a jealous bone in his body] Speaking of him, he purromised to get me a cup of ginger tea. Appurrently we were both in weird parts of the castle and we don't remember how we got there.

[selfhatred]

[Karkat shoves his hands into his own hoodie, watching her before he tilts his head, briefly wondering if his uncle was like this too. She certainly seemed to be talking like he was. Then again, Sal would bring her a cup of tea anyway. He glances up before giving a 'heh' noise.]

Yeah, he...I mean Dad told me he was pretty easy going. I could walk you to him if you feel like you're going to be sick...?

[glaringprotego]

That would be very nice of you Karkat.

[She does seem a little distracted as the feelings seem to intensify. She doesn't think she's ate anything weird. And--oh no could it be? But... Never mind it certainly can't be.]

[jeet]

[Inkblots as Baljeet stares at his professor's name beside text that cleary came from a student.]

Nepeta, are you using your mother's journal? Your cat puns are upsetting Nimh, you know...

[glaringprotego]

:3 < who's nepeta?
:O < oh but that's an adorable name i'll have to remember that
:3 < whenever i have kids h33h33

[jeet]

Ah, alright, this is very, very freaky...

Oh, ah, perhaps you should not worry about it.
