Yeah, Dave doesn't doubt that. Something tells him that with Gamzee all sobered up and actually thinking, he'll give Dave a good run for his money on the tables. There's just something in the way he moves, in the way he talks - some sort of fluid, musical quality that Dave thinks will translate real well to the tables.

It shouldn't come as a surprise, Gamzee's statement - the trolls played through their own version of Sburb, Dave knows that, so logically they would all have had powers, had elements like Dave and the others did - but somehow, it does. Or, at least, until he remembers - with another guilty twinge - a particular conversation between the two of them.

"Right, right," he says, hoping Gamzee won't remember what he's remembering. "You never actually told me what you did. But you were a Bard, right? What's that about?"
