"Nobody knows the trouble I've seen, nobody knows my sorrow. . ."

"Lighten the fuck up, motherfucker," The Grand Highblood threw a bone at the Tavros' cage, causing said shorter troll to flinch, "Sing something with a little more bounce to it."

Tavros made a face, clearly annoyed,

"It's a small world after all-"

"No, no," The Grand Highblood snapped, rolling his eyes, "Anything but that."

Tavros hummed in thought for a moment and then he got it,

"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, dee-dee, there they are standing in a row, bum-bum-bum."

The Grand Highblood chimed in instantly,

"Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head; give 'em a twist, a flick of the wrist. . ."

"God, I wouldn't have to do this for Gamzee," Tavros grumbled, bitterly, causing the larger troll to stop singing instantly.

"What did you say?"

"Um, nothing."

"Do you really think my motherfucking descendant's going to save a runt like you?" The Grand Highblood growled getting right in the bronze blood's face so to speak, "You better settle in, little wriggler, you're not going anywhere for a very long time."
