[Rin's finally able to breathe as the other guy finally levels off him, though any space actually granted between them is minimized again as he jolts immediately into a sitting position and pushes the dead mattress away, swatting aggressively at his back and hair along with Scott. go away, crabs!!!]
Thanks. Uh --
[getting a good look at this guy does not... inspire... reassurance. Rin's red eyes and shark-week teeth are one thing, the glowing red eyes and the surprise-claws are another. still, he tries to reel some of his shock in (he's got to stop flopping around like a fish on deck!) and not react like a space-racist. this guy is maybe an alien, like Karkat, and even though he's already been pinned to the floor and vaguely terrorized, it was an accident. probably]
What are you doing, inflating your mattress in here? [a little bit of accusation in his voice, because even bigfuck scary claws don't deter Rin from pointing out the illogical] Eeeh -- [that's a frisky crab; Rin jumps to his feet in a crouching position, very nearly smacking their heads together, but managing to grab at the nearby bucket]
