[He won't admit it, like, ever, but whenever Dave got Karkat truly riled up, Karkat sometimes awakened his stupid troll strength and he gets Dave in a hold he can't escape. But that's when you bring out the big guns of licking to gross Karkat out enough to let go.

There's no honor in rough housing.

Dave only gets lower, but adjusting so he's "laying" on his side, head propped up in his hand, elbow supported on a literal air mattress. He hovers down so he's just above the dirt Karkat is snuggled in, like they were sharing a king sized dirt bed. He reaches out with his other hand to keep patting Karkat between the eyes. He doesn't know why paps make trolls go soft, but heck if Dave doesn't like it.]

C'mon, I bet some of Rose's psychobabble's rubbed off on me and I can tell you all about what it means. Spoilers: it'll probably involve the word "penis" at some point.
