It looks colder in Exsilium than last year. Can anyone make me a hat and something to cover my horns? I know the money doesn't work there anymore, but I have other stuff, too.

[He turned the video down to a small collection. There were a number of different items ranging from books, feathers, bolts and screws, pretty but fake jewels, and more. There may be the occasional item of value but a lot of that value highly varied depending on personal taste.]

If that's not good enough, I can help with something. I'm good at cleaning and I can move heavy things.

Sorry, I can't knit, but I actually nabbed some neat scarves while I was on a mission recently, if you want one. Might actually make a pretty good horn-warmer.

Okay to assume this is video?

[hornedomen]

Oh, I haven't seen you in a long time. Did you come back?

I have a scarf already. I tried wrapping it around my horns before but that didn't work.

whoops! sorry, yeah it's video.

[promises_to_keep]

Yeah, just got back about a month ago. It's nice to see familiar faces still here, at least.

Hm. I got some gloves too, but somehow I don't think those will do too well on horns.

[hornedomen]

[He laughed softly, thinking of how ridiculous he would look wearing gloves on his horns.]

Probably not. Someone else will know what to do. There are a lot of us here with horns.

[promises_to_keep]

Yeah, I'm sure somebody's got a solution for that.

Glad to see you're still here, though. Do anything super exciting while I was away?

[kyoumibukai]

Ah yes, the boy with the horns. I can easily knit you a covering for your head that will include your horns. Do you feel the cold in your horns as well?

I will do it for any one of the books you have in trade.

[hornedomen]

You know me? Yeah, my horns get really cold in this weather, and it makes it hard to wear any hats so my head gets cold, too.

Which book do you want? I have one with plants, and one with a story, and one with different short stories in it; I like that one a lot.

[kyoumibukai]

Fascinating...

[He smiles into the camera]

Are your horns bone or keratin? Do you know?

Ah, though that makes no difference with regards to my knitting. I will have it done within... a day. I would like the plant books. But if you don't mind lending me the short story book, it sounds lovely.

[hornedomen]

I don' t know. [He did not even know what keratin was.] Can you tell when you see them?

I'll give you both of them. I read it all already. Are you still on the moon base? That's where I am.

sorry this is so late

[kyoumibukai]

I am still here for the moment, yes. I will start on your horns to begin with.

Keratin would mean that there is blood inside them, so they are more likely to get cold.

A hat?

[ she's thinking to herself, tapping her lips. ]

I'm quite sure I could fashion one as well as something to cover your horns, but I'd need to measure you first.

[hornedomen]

I understand, thank you. When can you measure me?

[aheroipray]

Anytime you feel comfortable coming in. I have no schedule at the moment.

[hornedomen]

Then I'll go now. Where are you? And what do you want in return, I'll bring it with me.

[aheroipray]

I needn't anything in return. I don't want for anything.

[ she shrugs. ]

I stay in the moon base, as it's too cold for desert skin down there. I can make the trip, however, as long as I stay inside.

[aceordisgraced]

Maybe a hat with horns? I can't knit or sew... but maybe we can go on a supply run sometime?

[hornedomen]

Do they have any? I thought the people here don't have horns.

[aceordisgraced]

Sometimes they add it for fashion! So we can find someone who'll make a hat and ask them to put something for horns because you just wanted them.

[hornedomen]

Fashion?

[That baffled him. He could not understand it, but at least it sounded like he could get a hat that would fit him.] Okay. Where should we go?

[aceordisgraced]

Fashion. You know, just because it looks cool or something.

I think we can go somewhere urban around the time I'm from and we'll be able to find something. The US, maybe?

[duplicitoussight]

A hat, a hat? Does Ico's horns get cold, too?

[hornedomen]

It does. I don't know how else to keep them warm. Do you know, Kano?

[duplicitoussight]

Ehh, I figured that they wouldn't get chilly at all! That's certainly something new!

Anyway, I can get you a hat, no problem!

[hornedomen]

I guess it's hard to understand unless you have horns yourself. I don't remember what it's like without them anymore.

Thanks, Kano. What do you want in return?

[duplicitoussight]

You weren't born with them? I didn't know that.

Ah, don't worry about it! If I let a poor kid freeze to death, it'd be no good, would it?
