[It takes Karkat a moment to actually turn on his end of the feed. Sollux. Sollux is here! Shock and mingled excitement rushes through him, behind an ever-present undercurrent of annoyance and anger. Anger that Sollux was nabbed too, and annoyance that it took the place so fucking long to grab him.
He'd never say it to his face, never even over text, never even think it in his presence, but Sollux was the master hacker. The coder. Karkat could shake up a good virus (accidentally), but Sollux was basically a god at it. Karkat could barely understand his ~ath codes.
When he finally does turn on the feed, he can't help the slightly smug grin tugging at his lips. The scowl is pretty fierce nevertheless.]
