Snarking back and forth with his dad aside, Sollux spent most of the car ride over to the Vantas house in silence, his nose stuck firmly in his gameboy with his headphones in, plugged into the mp3 player loaded with his...unique taste in music. He licked the snakebites going through his lower lip as they pulled into the neighborhood, grimacing at pretty much everything but knowing that none of them would be likely to talk the Signless into moving.

He would have been perfectly happy to wait in the car until Psiionic's visit with the Signless and subsequently the new human transfer student was done, but no, his father had to badger him into getting out and standing beside Mituna, waiting for the door to open then crossing his arms once it did, looking down at the Signless with a nod. "KK hiding out?" he asked immediately then stepped inside when the Signless pointed back toward the hall leading toward Karkat's room.

He knew the history that his father and the Signless had. It predated him by twenty years at least and was bound by modern legend but the two of them behaved as best friends always did and he...guessed that was a comfort? He didn't see the necessity for his being there, though. Maybe Psiionic wanted him to make friends with the new kid. He would be starting at the same school, after all and at the moment, from what he'd been told, the only people Dave had met so far were the Vantases, the Amporas and the Makaras. Not much of a basis for anything, in his opinion.

He poked his head into Karkat's room, his lip curling at the slightly cloying cherry scent that they were trying to air out of the room via the open window.

"Yo, anyone there?"
