"... Oh, Hi! You're talking to Rakka, but, uh, if you're hearing this then it means I can't answer the pokegear right now. Don't worry. Just make sure you leave a message and I'll reply to it!"

Beep!

Mostly. Oh, and crocodiles. Or alligators. I don't really know the difference. Whatever they were, they were obnoxious.

[He settles back in his seat.]

Wonder what happened to them.

Uh, crocodiles? And they were just living on that world with you? O-okay.

[... Has she taken a seat? Rakka should definitely be sitting down by this point.]

Do you miss it? It sounds so... dangerous.

[He's apparently unsure what to do with this question.]

...Not really.

[To both. It wasn't that dangerous, and...]

I wasn't actually there that long. I miss my apartment, I guess. Sometimes. Parts of it.

You should, I mean... it was your home.

[Unless... The sentence sits in the bottom of her mouth, waiting to come out. It's something that translates into a look on her face.]

Unless you didn't like it there?

[He doesn't answer for a long four seconds.]

The air conditioning was always broken.

[It's getting harder and harder to dodge this shit, the more he realizes the size of it. The mass of everything he'd had to deal with, growing up.]

Anyway, not the point. Long story short, things happened, and I had to leave that planet to go on a meteor road trip with Karkat and my sister and some other aliens for a while.

[Make that a noticeably long four seconds. There were many things going on here, and the more Rakka started to learn about it, the more she wanted to know. It's a dangerous thing, being curious.]

O-oh...

[That's rough, buddy.]

So after all that, you still couldn't stay in one place. You had to keep going? [She's amazed. Meteor road trips sound cool.] Just, how long did you have to travel?
