"Signless." When Signless' face lightens, Roland's does too. The change is slight, but still noticeable - part response to the other man's expression, part simple relief. Roland's spoken to people here and there since he died, but this'll be the first time he's spoken to someone he considers, in some small, distant way, his. His through the connection to Karkat, who in turn has - had - a connection to Cuthbert. If the thing his world called tet is analogous to family, this visit'd be more like visiting a distant cousin than a sibling. But even so, it feels good. It feels better.

But this visit isn't meant to be about him, and the topic is a dark one. Or might be, depending on whether Signless is the type of person who needs to talk about things. He sits a couple feet away, giving Signless some space, and his eyes flick over the ball of fur in his arms before dismissing whatever it is as, for now, unimportant. "How are you doing?" He watches Signless' face closely, hoping to hear truth rather than any polite nonsense.
