Nepeta dropped her catfish(more so cat puns but who cares) for a reason, which as to show she was serious but she guessed not everyone gets the notion like Terezi does without her telling them.
==> Proceed to facepalm
Why did you just do that? You there for a few minutes complementing your life choices.
She was a nice troll, a bit cheeky and quite interesting, but she's a violet blood.
A VIOLET BLOOD.
V-I-O-L-E-T.
You can't hang out with her! She's of one of the highest ranks! You are lower than low! How could she even consider?
KNOCK KNOCK
Who could that be?

You knew she was trying to hide her disappointment. Oh that sweet girl, but you could hear her lies from a mile away and not buy it still. You could taste the overly sweet lie, different from bitter truth, this was figuratively tasted of course. Quickly, you put on your war paint, as if preparing for battle and stomp right over to Equius' room to set him straight. You bang your fist on the door continuously.
"I'll be there soon!"
You tap your foot impatiently, "Equius! Why wouldn't you get along with Nepeta? What went wrong, did she act too cheeky or something? All you need to do is tell her and she'll stop! She has this whole idea of like eliminating all landdwellers because they discriminate her and her kind! She doesn't like how they treat the people! So she thinks the problem'll be solved like so! She's being naive and I thought you'd be the perfect person to help me stop her and change her mind but apparently not!"
==> 20 minutes later
You and Equius are still fighting. There's a knock on the door.
Feferi goes to answer it and awkwardly calls for you, "Terezi! Nepeta's here!"
"Oh, exactly twenty minutes! Nice, it didn't take as long today?" You walk towards her smiling and forget all about your argument with Equius.
"Yeah, while I was sending you those messages, I already spotted the purrfect specimen! Gl'bgolyb ate it up purrtty quick! And don't worry, Sollux is fine."
"You know I don't really care about Sollux being fine or not." You scuffed, "Only you would, he's too much of an ass to everyone else."
"Aw, he can be an angelfish though!"
"Only to you." You joked, and cackled as she giggled.
DING!

To be honest, you'd rather spend your time with Nepeta, because she was cool, and definitely your favorite seadweller, though the two of you were never sure how you two felt of one another, so you two chalked it up to be best friends instead.
"Hey Nepeta?"
"Yeah Terezi, was that someone you need to see? Like your moirail or something?" She teased.
"Yeah, but technically he's my ex-moirail now." You elbowed her softly and playfully.
"Oh! How come I didn't know! But okay, thanks for letting me know NOW. Tell me all about it later." She said sarcastically, with a flick of her fingers on your nose, "come back soon! I'll just hang out with Equius!"
"You sure?"
"Of course! Equius and I will have fun and we'll get along, so don't worry!"
You obviously weren't too keen on her answer and didn't want her to hang out too much with Equius, but whatever, it's not like you could do anything about it. The grumpiest and troll who had some of the worst luck in quadrants was calling. Apparently, he saw it as your responsibility until he could fetch a new moirail, not that it was a problem of course. You also had the urge to stay by her if Equius tried anything and were prepared to fight for her affections attention.
==> Smile at Equius
You smiled at him brightly and went to nod your head at him kindly. It was as if you are acknowledging his presence. It was awkward, what could you two talk about?
"So, Nepeta, you are of high noble status right?"
"Of course!" Is he going to bring up what you think he is? You can feel your cold blood begin to boil in your veins.
"Why would you hang out with lowbloods when you're of such high status?" He asks you awkwardly. You immediately and slightly take offense to what he has said, though you try not to blow your top.
"What do you mean, I hang out with Sollux? It's not like there is a law against me being friends with you guys."
"It's just don't you plan on anihilating all of us lowbloods and midbloods?" And yes, he did go there.
Your smile seems to become more cynical and you narrow your eyes, sarcasm dripping from your voice, "Oh, so you've figured me out. Just using you all for my own benefit so you'd never see it coming. Even Terezi. You know it isn't hard to trick you all. It's actually quite easy really."
You laugh, in a sort of sinister way and wait to see Equius' reaction.
==> Cringe
For some reason you don't cringe. With her sudden change in attitude, for some reason you feel more like you want to uncover all her secrets and pain as you can tell in her eyes and cover her in a blanket of warmth. So you do the only thing you can do. You shoosh pap her.
She suddenly loses tension and shivers, staring at you with confusion in her pure innocent sad eyes. "Before we um..."
She seems to blush a beautiful violet across her face, but then again you think everyone with blood higher than yours has a beautiful blush.
"Let's get to know each other better before rushing into it!" Her blush darkens even more.
"You mean like go on pale dates and the like?"
"Of course!"
She looks so much like a grub that has dejectly lost it's lusus. You want to shelter her.
"I'd be delighted to." Then you bow, because you're a low blood while she is one of the highest of bloods on the spectrum.
"You don't have to be that formal I mean! I just-"
She is interrupted by the sound of Terezi coming back and in a blink of an eye she is whisked away.
Is this what they would could a pale crush? Maybe? Looks like it. You quickly shuffle to find a towel because you have been sweating buckets, or at least, you're about to be.
