[How does he manage to continue surprising her? How... how did this even happen? Kanaya is staring at you in some disbelief, Gamzee.]

Trying out some artistic pursuit, Gamzee? What brought this on?

[faygot]

[what, artistic fursuits? That's like Nepeta's department.]

Just, uh. You can't all be telling nobody, yeah?

[Promise him, Kanaya. And do not mention that the feed is pretty much completely public.]

[meddlefussyfang]

[Kanaya would probably not be opposed to helping design and make them, though. And she's not the most technologically adept, but she's at least noticed that she was able to see the feed! A compromise is in order.]

I promise I won't tell. If it's a secret, you may want to whisper it to help make sure no one else can hear.

[The video feeds are live, right? Not recorded?]

[faygot]

[He leans a little bit closer, head pulling awkwardly at the yarn trapped around his everything.]

It's a gift. For Wataru. Motherfucker really digs scarves, yeah? So I thought I could all be getting him real fuckin' jazzed if I were all to be getting him one and shit. But I couldn't really find one that just motherfuckin' got my heart in it, you know? Ain't nothing that was all clicking. And then this chica at the store all told me I could be makin' him a bitchtits one myself. So.

[So, yes. Here we are. This is the deep backstory to Gamzee and his yarn bondage.]

[meddlefussyfang]

[Kanaya nods with great solemnity at his explanation.]

I see. That is a kind plan. Was there any particular design you were thinking of?

Actually no, wait, the first thing we should ensure is that you know how to knit. Preferably without stabbing yourself any further. What do you already know?

[Please say something please say something please say something]

[faygot]

uh.

[He looks down on the needles.]

You kinda like make some motherfuckin' loopies and shove this motherfucker through [he raises one needle, and whoops, there go a few more stitches] and then like fuckin' magic happens. I think.

[meddlefussyfang]

...

[Kanaya watches the unraveling stitches with a pain in her heart. There is only one solution to this.]

Gamzee, would it be all right for me to visit and assist you in this endeavor? I don't think I can advise you properly over the SFC.

[faygot]

Aww, sis, if you could be finding it in your fuckin' heart to be doing that shit for me, I would be like so fuckin' jazzed.

[He really wants to try hard to make this scarf for his moirail.]

[meddlefussyfang]

[Kanaya can see that face. And that yarn. Everywhere. How could she not find it in her heart to help him out? Of course she wants to help. If only to go over and bandage those wounds.]

I will just want to get a few things before convening at your locations. Is that all the yarn you have? A bit more might be best.

And... I believe I remember where your hive is.

[Kanaya is looking through the various craftsy things she's gathered to see if any skeins of yarn were available to bring to supplement that supply. There was a decent chance he'd bled on his. And while there was a nice poetic touch to a gift that had ones very blood spilled in its creation... she wasn't sure that Wataru would appreciate such imagery.]

[faygot]

This is all the shit I got. Hey, if it wouldn't all be too big of a fuckin' thing, can you like be making your yarn the same as mine? Cause like I'm all thinking Wataru would like these fuckin' colours, ya dig?

[meddlefussyfang]

If I have comparable colors or if I can find them at that supply store on route, I will be sure to bring the same. It would probably be best for you to use the same colors, to ensure that your pattern isn't too complex. Are these some of his favorite colors?

[Kanaya sends repeated glances at the SFC while she checks the shades of red and purple his current yarn is, and compares it to the few balls she's finding. One of the purples could certainly work as a supplement, but the others are too different to be useful. At the least these colors can be used as she demonstrates techniques to him.]

[faygot]

Uh, it's like this, you get.

[he points at the purple ball of wool and then at his shirt.]

Me

[he points at the red ball of wool.]

Him. Cause that is all like the colour his motherfuckin' blood is being.

[meddlefussyfang]

[Kanaya blinks, looking at the wool, and comparing it to the candy red color so often referenced. Sure enough, it was the same, or within a very few shades of it.]

You're right, that is his blood color. I don't know why I didn't realize that.

[Wait. The scarf is going to be comprised of their blood colors. All the symbolism she was reading into it was before? Was going into it fully intentionally. Her eyes widen, and she stares at him for a few seconds.]

I see the direction you're taking with this. That is a wonderful idea, Gamzee. Let me just gather these things, and I will head out.

[Rather than risk losing the yarn to the peculiarities of her fetch modus at this time, she simplifies the matter by putting a few relevant bundles of yarn and a few pairs of knitting needles into a bag. The SFC is picked up, and she heads out the door to check the nearest supply store.]
