Karkat, have you perhaps considered that me understanding his situation might help me help you? At this point, aside from the fact you shouldn't be killing, or attempting to kill even within a rage, anyone, I am really having a hard time sympathizing enough with him to tell you what you did was wrong.

Which, it is. Attacking him is one thing. Punches, kicks, what have you - while not exactly the right thing to do, they're nothing beyond what two teenagers fighting will do. And certainly nothing beyond two trolls, correct? And most definitely nothing I would complain about him receiving, though really I wouldn't mind laying into him myself instead.

Strangling him, however, is another story.

[[Sighing, she frowns.]]

And yes, travel. Yet another point I am trying to assist you with, because now the fact he must travel with us at all will likely weigh on you.
