[Nepeta nods, just once, barely perceptible. She reaches up and removes Equius' shades, sits up straight, and for once there's no playful sparkle in the green-blooded troll's eyes.
Were she anyone else, she'd question why what must surely be a figment of her own imagination doesn't know what happened. Maybe that's her imagination's way of softening the blow. And now she'd gone and ruined it by talking about what happened.]
I should have gotten there faster. You were probably the only one strong enough to stop him, but...
[She trails off, and that she chose not to insert a cat pun into the word "probably" speaks volumes about her mood. She's pretty sure the only way Equius would've been able to attack Gamzee at all was if he'd gotten to her first. She knows her moirail better than anyone else, after all, and the fact that someone as powerful as Equius died at all is enough to give her a more or less accurate guess as to what happened before she arrived.
She wants to punch him, because that is the stupidest reason to die she has ever heard, or - witnessed, but instead she shakes her head. She's the cheerful one, dammit, and she's going to work through this for as long as she's got left.]
...But I guess that doesn't really matter now, huh? I mean, it worked out for the best, I think! I told you we'd see each other again, and here we are, so it's almost exactly like I said!
