KARKAT: I'VE HAD THIS ONE IDEA FOR AT LEAST A WEEK NOW THAT WOULD'VE BEEN EXTREMELY RISKY BEFORE...
KARKAT: BUT IT'S FAR FROM RELAXING SO I'LL PUT IT ON HOLD FOR NOW.
DAVE: you know when you say you have an idea and risk in the same sentence it concerns and frightens me
KARKAT: I KNOW... SORRY
DAVE: im just joshing you man
KARKAT: STILL, I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T TORMENT YOU WITH THOSE IDEAS ANYMORE. I THINK I'VE DONE TOO MUCH OF THAT RECENTLY.
DAVE: nahh i dont mind

DAVE: youve done that a lot recently
KARKAT: RECENTLY? MORE LIKE MOST OF MY LIFE
DAVE: well yeah but you get what i mean
DAVE: you arent some stone weighing people down dude youre a friend
KARKAT: THANKS
KARKAT: IT'S JUST... HARD TO NOT BLAME MYSELF FOR EVERY SINGLE MINISCULE THING THAT GOES WRONG SOMETIMES. EVEN STUFF THAT'S OUT OF MY CONTROL..
DAVE: you can say that again hah
DAVE: ya know this is such a funny conversation to have drinking apple juice
