Wait-

[But Karkat was running off already, and John really didn't want to press his luck and chase him down. Honestly, it was better that way. They could go their separate ways and not have to cause a big scene. Nobody got eaten by zombies, nobody got stabbed in the face, and everything was good.

But as Karkat escaped, John noticed how unusually skinny he was. Everyone was eating light, John knew that. Even back at the makeshift town he lived in everyone had to carefully ration their food. But Karkat looked like he was beyond rations and extending into 'constantly hungry' territory. Maybe he had been following John because he was hungry?

Whatever it could have been, something compelled John to find out more about this lone troll. he had never even heard of a troll being by themselves, they always moved in groups, or so he thought. Why was Karkat different?

Those thoughts led John to come back to that same area the next day, this time with extra rations of food on him. Maybe a little peace offering of a lunch would butter Karkat up enough to get him talking. John was distrustful of trolls, but he was also curious about them too.
