[Maybe it's in bad taste. Maybe it's in bad taste and Eridan really does not give a shit. He's heard the news, and is delighted by it, to be perfectly honest. She was nothing but a disrespectful cur, and the news of her death has left him elated to say the least. When the feed turns on, he's sipping a hot cup of tea (pinky extended), of what type is anyone's guess, but he looks amused as ever.]

I say the bitch got what was comin' to her.

[He takes another long sip. He feels no need to disclose who, when it's probably obvious to anyone with a working think pan.]

Just goes to show that maybe there is some modicum a justice in this place.

[She emits a low breath that she wasn't sure she was holding. She wasn't really sure what she expected him to say. She'd expected something had happened, something bad. But that this kid and his friends were the source of it all? That was all little unexpected.]

That's a lot to deal with.

[He shrugs, trying to play it off like it isn't a big deal, despite the fact it kind of is. Most of his friends gained a lot by the fall of their race in a way: freedom from the shackles their society has placed on them due to their blood color, and while he had his own, bejeweled and cased in gold, he didn't see it that way.]

I'm well past it by now.

Sometimes just time helps quite a bit with things like that.

[Though she can't imagine it fixes everything. Ten years later and she still mourns her mother. She can't imagine how it must be to lose your entire race. Even if they sound awful.]

Are you alone then?

[unconchonable]

[It doesn't, not even close. He's still pretty sore about it, even if he tries to act contrary. And Eridan really loved their race, but then again, what else did he really know than their way of things? It isn't like he had ample alternatives, and by now the alternatives just seem stupid and foreign and maybe a little bit frightening in that unknown sort of way. Easier to reject and just embrace what he knows.]

Here? No, I got a friend, one a my fellow surwiwors, here with me at least.

[A beat.]

An' a few people here hawe prowen themselwes good company. [Spock and Kirk mainly.]

So no, I ain't alone.
