[In the aftermath of the asteroid strikes, Valeria's taken it upon herself to look for survivors, and even find a few, all of whom had been too rattled by the last few weeks to concern themselves with how they had been saved by a three year old. "Saved for what?" is a question she's not asking herself; as long as anyone's still alive, it's worth fighting.
She finds it much easier and faster to float on an invisible disc of force than to walk on her short legs and spend all her energy clambering over obstacles, so she's gliding along, sitting cross-legged in the air like some kind of tiny yogi in a superhero outfit when she sees Karkat and drifts to a halt.]
You look awful. Are you all right?
[At least Val's customary lack of tact ought to be something less of a problem for a troll than it usually is for members of her own species.
Unlike Karkat, she's clean and put-together, uninjured by the earthquake (her force fields can deflect much worse than falling buildings), her white Future Foundation uniform still gleaming and spotless (unstable molecules don't stain), and her expression calm, shading into concern for him (she's been through nastier things than a few asteroid strikes).]
