[It's been two days, and she's a lot calmer. Ok, that's a lie, but Feferi's not the source of her anger, and so she's managing to only sound like her usual surly self. However, she's pretty much burned that bridge with Karkat for getting answers, and as far as she can tell Aradia's vanished like smoke in a mirror. To say that she and Kanaya were still ... tense would probably be a bit of an understatement, and Eridan didn't strike her as the helpful sort of person, and she wasn't about to go asking Gamzee jack squat.
That left her Sollux, who she really only knew of via Roxy, and Feferi, who she'd spoken to once. There was a word that had been nagging (Ok, several words, but most of that just seemed to be a nearly impossible misapprehension of the english language so common to trolls) at the back of her mind. She'd assumed it was some odd word for 'bodyguard,' but she was less sure at this point. And, if she was going to plot behind Karkat's back to punch Gamzee's mangy clown ass into next week someday, she needed to understand what he was getting at.
Aaaand, she apparently had time on her hands. Hopefully Feferi hadn't listened in on her little rant the other day and been a closeted clown fan. Finding Feferi's inbox had taken a little work, but she'd managed it.]
Feferi, was it? I think we talked when we were bodyswapped. I'm Samantha. I was hoping, if you had a minute, you might be able to help me with something. I heard a word the other day, and I think it was supposed to be a troll one, but I don't think I know what it means. Could you explain what a Moyreel is? [Moirail, but it's not like she actually knew the word yet, so a horrible pronunciation wasn't too surprising.
Time to cross fingers.]

[Luckily the mispronunciation is close enough to a fish pun of how the word would actually be pronounced that she understands it. And, always willing to sit down and have a feelings jam, her response is bright and perky.]
Sure! A moirail is the pale romance quadrant! When you're moirails with someone, you're fated to look out for them. You keep them under control and pacify them when you have to.

R...Ro...Ro...Romance?!?
[That word came out a few decibels too high, to be honest. The level of shouting certainly indicated how shocked someone was (along with misunderstanding troll concepts of romance.).]
So... those this is like some sort of friends with benefits keeping each other from catching hell sort of crap?!? Oh lord, well I suppose that explains a lot.
[There's a grunt. She really didn't want to kick Karkat's ass. He hadn't hurt her, after all, and she hated getting people involved in her fights who didn't belong. This was between she and Gamzee, nobody else.]

They're screwing, doing the horizontal lambada, having sex. That's what people who are romancing do, isn't it? I mean, why would you just call playing backup and conscience a romance?
Quadrant? What do you mean quadrant? You're not making any sense, though I suppose that could just be alien biology at work here anyway. but, why don't you try again. Let's start with quadrants...
[She could already feel it. She wasn't going to like this.]
[She could already feel it. She wasn't going to like this.]
Okay. There are four quadrants--that's why they're called quadrants! Matespritship and moirallegience are redrom--based on pity, and auspisicism and kismesissatude are blackrom--based on hate. You'd only ever do anything like what you were talking about in the concupiscent quadrants, not the conciliatory ones!
[Having fun so far?]
[Having fun so far?]
...
[That was, arguably, one of the most confusing things that she had ever heard in her life.]
You people romance other people by hating them? So, say, if someone clubs you over the back of your head after the two of you are shouting at each other for a half hour... that's flirting?
[She was now green, just a little bit.]
