[John chuckles, because he has the feeling Karkat's actually right about that one. He's already planning on pitching the idea of Dave being the godfather, and that, well. He didn't think that needed to be explained.]
No offense, but Gamzee and Terezi are the weirdest of you guys. And yeah, I remember some stuff but...man, don't you guys have books for this?
[Something in John's heart makes it turn to a puddle of gush at the exchange. Never in his life did he think that he'd be hugging a boy who was holding their bucket child and finding the absolute maternal air so fucking fulfilling. Karkat's noises are always pleasantly weird, but these are different, completely so. The distinctly inhuman noises still get to him, and there may be tears later.]
...Can I hold him?
[He almost chokes on his words, and the concern over a name and symbol and what the fuck caves are blown out of his mind. He takes his arm off Karkat and bends his arms in a cradle form, ready to take the grub if Karkat so lets him.]
