"Have you ever been swimmin'?" Eridan asked as his gaze wandered off to the giant sea of bright red blood before him. The freshly God Tiered Karkat scoffed and shook his head.

"Of course not dumb ass. I'm a land dweller. I spent a good ninety nine percent of my time being terrified of the water and the hostile sea dwelling pricks that lived in it." Eridan let out a quiet sigh and Karkat couldn't help but feel a little twinge of guilt. "I mean, no. I've never been swimming. I'm terrified of the water even though my severely fucked up mutation gave me the equally fucked up anatomy and I literally have the gills for proper swimming." Eridan let out another sigh.

"Shit was beautiful, bein' underwater. Minus the obviously hostile dick bags, the aquatic fauna was pretty. All of 'em fish swimmin' around without a care in the world. Aquatic lusii would swim with their grubs, shit was calm. Peaceful. It was a nice relaxed life. I'd be a filthy fuckin' liar if I said I didn't miss it." Eridan had a peaceful little smile on his face.

"Ya know," Eridan mumbled. "If I had the chance I would take ya swimmin'. Shit's fun...In the water...when ya float it feels like flyin'. Not that I know what flyin' feels like. Just assumin' it feels like it."

"You really miss that shit don't you?" Eridan nodded.

"Fuck yeah I do. Regret spendin' all a my time out on land with insufferable pricks that ain't give two shits about me. Shoulda spent most a my time underwater. Floatin' around with sharks. Those were my favorite. They seem dangerous but once ya get up close an' personal with 'em they ain't nothin' but giant sweethearts with sharp teeth." Karkat continued listening patiently to Eridan's little reminiscing rant on his past life, his mind starting to formulate a plan on how to make his friend feel a little less homesick.

"An swimmin' with whales was pretty fuckin' rad too. Whale Sharks were probably the best though, ya just gotta grab on this gigantic fins a theirs and ya got yourself a free ride to wherever. My favorite swimmin' buddy was my lusus though. Seahorsedad was always up for lettin' me hitch a ride on his back and takin' me to nearest coral reef and mess around. We would chase little fishies outta their anemone hives and follow sting rays around." Okay, that was it. Karkat stood up and did a little stretching. Eridan raised an eyebrow as he watched his friend. "Kar? What in the name a fuck are ya doin'?" Karkat waved Eridan's question aside as he adjusted his God Tier cape.

The Knight of Blood held a finger up to his lips when Eridan attempted to speak again, the sea dweller immediately quieted down due to sheer curiosity. Karkat walked to the edge of the blood sea and jumped right in. Eridan's eyes widened and he scrambled to the edge and looked over only to see Karkat standing at the very bottom of the blood sea, a circle at least six feet in diameter made sure to keep the blood from getting to him.

"Stand back dumb ass!" Eridan did as told and shuffled back to his previous spot. The cancer troll cracked his knuckles. This was going to be good. Not a second later and the sea of blood had waves beginning to form. Eridan blinked in confusion and watched as the blood rippled. Then, out of nowhere, a giant whale made completely of the red blood erupted from the sea. Sharks, Sting rays, dolphins, and a plethora of other aquatic life emerged from the blood as well. At first Eridan was shocked, a bit disgusted too, these blood made marine life were just floating around as if they were underwater. The blood used to create the creatures was holding together well, none of it seemed to be dripping. In fact it seemed like they were made out of jello instead.

"I was sort of hoping this was more considerate than disgusting." Karkat said as he floated out from the sea and back to his place besides the bewildered Aquarius troll. Eridan didn't respond, a small smile spreading across his face instead. The blood made sea life continued their leisurely "swimming" in the sky above them. After a moment Eridan tore his eyes away from the sight and hugged Karkat tightly, pecking the Knight of Blood's cheek before mumbling a thank you.

For the rest of their time together on LOPAH, Karkat and Eridan sat on the ground in each other's arms. Watching the sea life in peace.
