Yeah but, this is important too! And right now this is more important! I can't stand the thought of you and Dave just...not being friends anymore! Especially since I should be able to do something about this. I mean, you called me instead of just talking to Karkat, so clearly you thought I'd be able to help with this.

[He's just rambling now. He's not even sure what he's talking about anymore. He just doesn't want to let his friends down.]
