Yeah, I get that. But I don't see how Horn even _could_ have chosen to 
do that unless he were already far more than human. Anyway, I think Horn 
had already been absorbed into Babbie in the same way Rose was absorbed 
into her hands. The hus is a quite peculiar plot element, though. Unlike 
the other indigenous lifeforms of Blue, it's really not clear to me how 
his species came to get it's name. What Murcor intended in sending 
Babbie with Horn is important, I think.
