He hissed and went limp, slumping with a sigh.

"Better now...?" He asked, still not letting go

He sighed again, trembling and not speaking other than a soft honk.

He let go of the hands and stroked the other's hair.

Ganzee calmed down instantly, eyes slipping shut.

Karkat just continued his actions

A nurse walked in to administer more medicine to Karkat, but screamed upon seeing Gamzee, making the troll hiss and set off again.

"Dammit!" Karkat said "I just calmed him down" he grabbed the highblood's arms and tried to calm him once more.

Gamzee howled and struggled, nails trying to find a place to gore. The nurse trembled and quickly had a doctor come in who sedated Gamzee once more, making him slump to the floor in a heap. "You should have called someone." The man scolded. "This young man is very troubled and dangerous."

"Don't you dare take him from me again. He will just keep going this way. You don't understand how we trolls work, so don't take him"

The doctor seemed to consider it, but slung Gamzee over one shoulder, carrying him out. He was smiling really goofily, waving at Karkat and giggling a little, the medicine making him act silly. The doctor returned later with the troll, though he had a cop with him. The officer was careful to handcuff Gamzee's hands in front of him. His ankles were shackled together as well to keep him from being very dangerous. "This is the only way he can stay with you." The doctor informed Karkat, leaving the room so there was no chance for argument on the subject.

Karkat had been angry when they took Gamzee away, but understood the terms when they brought him back. "Gamzee, you okay...?"

The troll continued to smile goofily. "Yeah bro....up and fuckin great..."

He smiled a bit, but he wasn't completely happy about the situation.

Gamzee simply smiled back. "How's my best bro up and doin?"

"Doing better... Enough to probably go home"
