[The video feed pops on, showing two of the bubble's younger trolls, happily returned back to their home under the sea. Now though, at least one of them has a very serious expression on his face.]

So, after doing some research, we've discovered that it's customary to give gifts this time of

I find it impossibly adorable that all of the adult trolls are adopting all you younger ones. I knew you all had parental instincts.

Traditional gifts are usually something like a tie or a mug that says "#1 DAD" on it, but really, you should just get him something that you know he'll like. I'm sure you both know him far better than I do. Equius, maybe you could build him some kind of brilliant robot?

I already know what I'm getting the two of you for Christmas.

[Lily knows all about this stuff! She'll help them!]

What's a tie?

And Lily, you don't need to get us anything.

[She doe and she will!!!! Any time!]

Human formalwear. I don't suppose ties have any particular purpose other than looking good.

I know. But I am. I've been thinking about it for weeks. Christmastime is my absolute favorite time of year.

[Looking good, huh? He is just going to eye Equius for a moment and wonder what he would look like in a tie.

not.

that he knows what a tie is.

And then it is back to attention!]

This Christmas stuff is kinda all sounding like our Eve. Except you motherfuckers make this shit way more fun.

It's like... 12th Perigee's Eve, yeah? Your lusus all goes out and up and gets a behemoth's leaving and you decorate shit and the hive too if you are into that. And you just all do what gets you chill.

[He smiles a little, his expression fond as he thinks of his lusus.]

Last sweep, the Ol' Goat all were a little late cause the currents weren't being fuckin' right for swimming, but when he got to the hive, he done took me way out far on sea. And we got to chilling there at for a while. And he up and showed me this new motherfuckin' island he found. Haha, he even were chill enough to be letting me crash the day in a fuckin' cave what was there so we could done be spending more motherfuckin' time being bros.

[Equius watches Gamzee quietly during that little story, and his expression is an odd mix of sad and nostalgic.]

That's a really nice story, Gamzee.
