[skelebro]

no matter.

[somuchlove]

[...really Sans?]

I suppose that is a way to say 'good evening' to someone. Or do you wish to trade jokes again?

[They'll try to remember death related ones if so. Seems to be the mood.]

1/2

[skelebro]

well it's a funny story, really.
i was working with some binder paper. you know, the kind with the perforated edges?
and it reminded me of you.

[skelebro]

cause, you know.
you're both tearable.

[somuchlove]

['You're both'. That's an interesting choice of words. It could be just Sans joking but after everything Chara wouldn't simply dismiss everything he said as a joke. Besides...]

I find that difficult to work with if you do not know what you are doing. Some pointers may be helpful, depending on what you need.

[Like a staple gun or a knife.]

[skelebro]

that's right, you're all about pointers, huh?

[somuchlove]

I believe that's something we have in common.

[Once they reached the golden hallway, that's all that was left. So scripted that there wasn't a need for one anymore.]

But if you are looking for help then perhaps I can lend a hand. Although I confess I don't have any glue.

[They may as well keep the joke going.]

[skelebro]

now that you mention it, maybe there's something you could do.
it's real simple.

[somuchlove]

Something simple is just what I need to keep myself from getting bored.

What is it, buddy?

[skelebro]

[Buddy.

Heh.]

well, funny story.
neither of you kids ever got around to introducing yourselves.
properly, i mean.

[somuchlove]

Oh really? I should apologize for that. Proper introductions are important.

[Though Sans should hold off on making bets on actually getting an apology.]

So who's name is more important to you? Because it feels like there was ample opportunity to ask me here but you forgot!

[Because of course they're not going to make this easy.]

[skelebro]

[He's the first to admit that "should" doesn't necessarily translate to "will".]

i'd say we've reached that awkward point in time where you've known someone for a while, but it's weird to say you still don't know their name.
not like either of you were particularly forthcoming, you know?

[somuchlove]

You have a point. I was rather busy and my partner was hanging out with Papyrus and Undyne. Perhaps they were able to ask.

But out of curiosity. Are you asking me for my name or both of ours?

[skelebro]

whichever.
unless you'd rather both just be "kid" for the rest of your lives.

[somuchlove]

My partner's name is Frisk.

As for myself, I rather like "kid". It's nostalgic.

[And they're just straight up not planning on telling him.]

[skelebro]

sure thing.
kid.

[He got what he came for.

My "partner" is an interesting way of referring to them. Suggests a symbiosis of some kind, maybe?

Well, it's a working hypothesis.]

[somuchlove]

You're welcome.

Now I assume you know they are in the city. I have something to tell you.

[skelebro]

wouldn't be asking if i didn't.
what's on your mind?

[He kinda saved their life, breaking his typical non-interference policy in the process. They'd been horribly out of their depth. Not likely to make a habit of it, he's assuming.]

[somuchlove]

Your judgement. It does not apply to them as they are now.

[It's not a question. Yes, they both held responsibility for everything that lead up to the dust upon dust on their hands and the golden hallway.

But Frisk here and now wasn't the same. They had that possibility but...not now. It was still them.]

[skelebro]

[Hmm. He regards the words on the phone evenly. He'd figured there was deviation between the two since his last few conversations with this kid. Keeps him on his toes, he'll say that much.]

you feel like elaborating on that?

[somuchlove]

I do not. If you wish to learn the consequences, then that I will elaborate on.

[Don't push them.]

[skelebro]

fine.

[They've told him enough anyway.]

it's kinda funny, though.

[somuchlove]

What is?

[If he finds something funny, they might.]

[skelebro]

if i didn't know any better, i'd say it sounds like you care about them.

[somuchlove]

I have plenty of LOVE to give. Why wouldn't I share some with my partner?

[Honestly it's a pretty poor deflection. But hey, it's the best they have.]

Would you like some? It'd be pretty interesting to see that you. At LV 10 you wouldn't have to worry about inviting your brother to your birthday party.
