"Ancestor?" Finally, a word Ico knew. "My ancestor had horns, too! We all have the same horns."

He laughed quietly to himself. "I didn't know horns could grow in so many different shapes. I like Sollux's horns." Out of all the trolls he met, Sollux's horns looked the most practical.

"Motherfucker's got himself two sets of those horns, he does. But you haven't gotten your look at even a little of all the horns what are being out there. Were. Big motherfuckers and little, curved and straight and waves up like the sea."

He moves his hands as he describes them, going through different shapes.

Ico copied the way Gamzee moved his hands to understand the shape of the horns. It was not a good description. He wondered how horns could be like the sea.

"I guess I like shorter ones because sometimes my horns get stuck." He quickly added, "But I wouldn't trade them for anything."

[honkalypse]

"I know how that's motherfucking being! I got a bro who's up and got horns going out what like yours do. My own are being hard for some shit too."

Though they didn't stick out, they did stick up, and Gamzee was already dreadfully tall. Especially here, with smaller doors and buildings he'd come up with things where he'd bang his horns if he forgot to duck, and that sent shocks all down through him.

"Get them all banged up on the doors."

[hornedomen]

Just hearing about it was enough. Ico had hit his horns on doors before and he rubbed his head as if he felt the pain running through it.

"There's a troll with horns like mine? What's his name? Is he here?"

[honkalypse]

"His name is Tavros, and he's being the best of bros." The first part was said happily enough, but it was hard to hold onto the cheer when the next question was asked. "Not being here, but more motherfuckers are always showing themselves."

Even as he said that, he couldn't muster up the hope to really believe it so it fell flat.

[hornedomen]

Ico frowned as Gamzee's cheer left. It must have been upsetting for him. However, it did not seem right to hope that his friend be brought into a war.

Without knowing the words to say, Ico simply reached over to pat him comfortingly on the shoulder.

[honkalypse]

That was a surprise. He wasn't very used to being touched, even lately. But it was... nice, so after an uncomfortable moment, Gamzee granted Ico a smile. Little motherfucker really was all reminding him of Tavros.
