There's no art here.

[Equius sounds disgruntled and put upon, and he's scowling crabbily.]

I've lived here for almost a full sweep, and I haven't been able to find a single art gallery or museum here with anything interesting! Isn't there anyone here who knows anything about art? Or has some from their home world?

I'll try. No promises.

...Equius?

... yes?

It's not...you're...

You're not being difficult about it just because he's my matesprit, are you?

[Called out!]

Nepeta, you are my moirail. And you are the best moirail I could ever ask for.

[Pause to flash diamond hands at her.]

That said... there are certain... things... about which...

[Wow, getting sweaty here. Let's just add a filter.]

About which I find it difficult... to consider. One of which is you... and Nitram... and... a fully functional lower half.

[The confession makes her look miserable even if it's what she suspected all along. Even seeing him making diamond hands at her doesn't help much.]

But Equius...don't you see? I love Tavros so much that it really hurts me to think he's missing out on the chance of having a completely normal body because of me, that he might have one already if we weren't matesprits.

[Ouch. That hits him right in the bloodpumper, and Equius has the decency to look ashamed of himself.]

I just don't want you getting hurt.

Tavros wouldn't hurt me!! This hurts lots more than anything he could ever do to me!

You don't know that, though! I'm just trying to keep you from getting your heart broken!

[Again. Since he's the one that did it last time.]

This doesn't have anything to do with my heart, Equius!

Yes, it does, Nepeta!

Does not!

Yes.

We're not having one of our usual arguments about this, Equius! Not about something as important as Tavros' legs!

[Hmph.]

Did I say anything about his legs? I'll have his legs done soon enough, and they'll be a significant improvement over his previous ones! He's going to be able to feel the new pair!

Don't play around with words, Equius, you know purrcisely what I mean!

Try and have a little empathy here, Nepeta! Think for a minute about what you're asking me to do!

I'm not the one who needs to have a bit more empathy, Equius!

[Deep breaths. She needs to be the calm, reasonable one here.]

Think of how you'd feel, if Gamzee was missing part of himself, and I could give it back to him, except I refuse to...because I didn't trust you to make your own decisions with your matesprit!

It's not that I don't trust you!

[Okay, deep breathes over here too. Calmness, serenity now, he needs to explain himself.]

You are asking me... to make a device... that you will someday use for pailing. Do you not realize how incredibly uncomfortable that makes me? There are certain things I don't want to know!

[Nepeta just covers her face for a moment.]

Yes. Yes, okay, I do understand. But I'm not even thinking of pailing, Equius! I just want Tavros to have more of his body back like it would have been if he hadn't been hurt.

And I'm doing the best I can to recreate that for him!

[A pause to towel off his face.]

Look... if I make a place to attach it, can you talk to Darkleer about making the actual... unit? He'd be able to install it, and then, I don't have to know about it.

I know...I know, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you about it.

Uh huh, I could do that!! It doesn't even have to be fur now or anything, I'd need to tell Tavros about it too first.

And I'm sorry for upsetting you too.

Okay, you and Nitram talk about it, and then talk to Darkleer. I'll make sure there's a place to attach... it.

Okay, I will. Thank you fur understanding, Equius
