Maybe it's the weirdly relaxing death/respawning he's had (it's like a day at the spa but with fewer mudbaths and more gurneys). Maybe it's Gamzee's response. Who knows, but now Karkat's lips actually turn upward in a ghost of a smile. ]

Thanks. I'll summon you as need be. I'll show you what the sharp-toothed monsters look like, then if you see one around, you bash it a couple times. Just don't make out with it if it dies. They're poisonous.

[ Actually they're just infested with fleas that carry typhus but Karkat hasn't realized that yet. ]
