[Ugh, it's difficult, but Dualscar manages to fumble with the SFC until the video turns on. It's with his nose that he pushes the buttons, as the thing lies on the ground. He's on the beach right now, and the sound of the ocean is audible.
Then he pulls back, so Signless can see. He's a seahorsedad, like Eridan's lusus, and he flicks his curly tail irritably and wuffles.]
[He flicks his tail and flies upwards, showing how he's able to fly without any wings, then he comes closer to the SFC once more. Then he reluctantly bobs his head. The elevator will be a tight fit, but he'd rather be home.]
All right, I'll meet you at the elevator in a few minutes.
[Sufferer gets up and starts walking towards the station, although he keeps his SFC on and continues talking.]
You're not the only one who got turned into an animal this week. Some of the younger trolls were changed as well, and they're having a hard time adjusting.
[It's really not easy to give a nuanced response in this form, but he manages to approximate a shrug and a nod. He had figured that others were animals also, since that's how curses tend to work. Then he cocks his head questioningly, hoping to prompt Signless to go on and get to where he's going]
[Dualscar is really doing a pretty good job communicating! Sufferer recognizes that head tilt as a question, and decides to just get down to it.]
Would it be okay with you if some of the children who have been affected came and stayed with us for a few days? Many of them can't open doors on their own or do basic things.
[He hesitates, then nods tentatively. Surely Signless wouldn't bring anyone that he'd have a big objection to. Anyway, though there are some wigglers he doesn't get along with, they're still just children.
He cocks his head again, trying to convey a 'who' if he can]
[With a bit of a horsey sigh, he settles in to wait for Signless to arrive. Eridan isn't a problem at all, of course, but Karkat isn't exactly someone he loves hanging around with. On the other hand, he and Karkat did make peace, and he's Eridan's matesprit and Signless' descendant, so he can't really say no.]
[A few moments later, the elevator door opens, and Sufferer steps out. It isn't hard to see the large white seahorse, and he walks towards him, his stumps hidden in his cloak.]
[Signless considers for a moment, then slings his arm around Dualscar's neck, shaking his cloak so it falls to cover his stump. There. Now Dualscar can feel reassured, and if his strength fades and he starts to falter, he can lean on his moirail.]

I see.
[Sufferer doesn't know much about aquatic hoofbeasts, and unfortunately, the only troll who does is a mute penguin this week.]
So, can you go on land at all? Do you want me to meet you at the elevator and take you back down to our hive?

Dualscar, you're a lusus.

Tell him something he doesn't know, Signless.
He lowers down to the sand and comes close, eyeing Signless sidelong. Maybe pettings would be good.]

Come on, let's get you home.
