This guy's aura stinks. Like, really stinks. Karkat can actually smell something that smells like bad breath and damp-mould, and he's not certain if it's the aura or the bar they're sitting in, but... Either way, it's pretty worrying.
Usually he steers clear of auras like this one; nothing good has ever come from testing the water in this way, and he isn't experienced enough to know what to expect, but... Something is ebbing from the awkwardly hunched form that makes Karkat feel.... Feelings. Feelings that made following him here seem like a great idea, but uncertain feelings that he can't quite put a name to, that swirl and blur when he tries to focus in a little more. If he had even the slightest amount of training, he'd probably be much better at this. He'd probably be able to help.
He's just about to give up and leave when the guy speaks up, and Karkat looks at him with an owlish expression.
"Uh." He glances outside. "Not really. It's too humid."
sneaks this in here
