Bumbercatch: Yeah, both he and Sans got their names. :) How lucky are they that the first notebook Sans picked up had that little bit of information, huh? Otherwise they'd still be trying to figure out what to call them, haha.

Casey tugged her hood further down on her head as she left Grillby's, the long sleeve of her sweatshirt covering her hand as she hurried back to the inn.

It was a week since she'd visited the lab, a week since she met the skeleton brothers. A week since their escape… A week since her life had changed forever. Upon finding out they really had no place to go, the innkeeper had let them stay for the time being, as long as Casey worked there. When she wasn't working in the inn, she worked in the store next door to earn a bit of G. The best part of the day was the evening, when she didn't have to work. She'd stay in the room with Sans and Papyrus, bringing them dinner and telling them a bedtime story.

Casey closed the door of the inn behind her, stomping the snow off her boots. She pulled off her hood with her free hand, accidentally smudging some of the flour on her face.

"Hi Casey!" The young rabbit behind the counter said happily.

"Hey there." Casey said, starting towards the stairs. "Did you three behave?"

"Yep! Papyrus and I built a snow rabbit!"

"It sounds like it was fun." Casey says with a faint smile.

"It was!"

"Good. Well, I will see you later." Casey says, then headed up the stairs. She walked down the hall to the room, opening the door and walking inside. Sans and Papyrus were snuggled together on the bed, Sans sleeping as he used his brother as a pillow while Papyrus read a book.

Shortly after arriving in Snowdin, Casey had gone out to buy them actual clothes. Sans was wearing a pair of shorts, a blue sweatshirt that was a bit too big on him, and a pair of fuzzy slippers that he seemed oddly fond of. Papyrus wore a fuzzy brown sweater, a long pair of pants, a set of red boots, and red gloves. Thankfully, Casey had been able to remove the bandages the two wore the day after they arrived, and the two looked good as new.

Prpyus looked up from his book. "HELLO, CASEY THE HUMAN!"

"Hi, Pap. I brought dinner, are you hungry?"

Papyrus nodded, nudging Sans. "... mmph…"

"COME ON YOU LAZYBONES! IT'S TIME TO EAT!"

"i'm comin'…" Sans mumbled, opening his eyesockets as Casey put the bag down, walking into the bathroom to wash the flour off her face. When she came out, both skeletons had situated themselves into a half circle on the floor. Grabbing the bag, Casey sat down across from them.

"Alright." She says, opening the back. She pulled out a burger and a bottle of ketchup, handing them to Sans. She then pulled out a container of fries and a bottle of water for Papyrus.

"THANK YOU, CASEY THE HUMAN!" Papyrus says happily.

"You're welcome." Casey replied, pulling out a burger for herself and beginning to eat.

"NO ONE RECOGNIZED THAT YOU WERE A HUMAN?" Papyrus asked as he ate.

"Nope. That's why I put the flour on my face, to try and look like a skeleton. And, for the moment, it's working." She answered.

Papyrus nodded, nibbling on a french fry as Sans drank from his bottle of ketchup. Honestly, Casey had no idea where that obsession had come from.

When they were finished eating, Casey gathered up the trash and threw it away.

"I'll be right back you two." She tells them, then heads out of the room.

"... SANS?"

"yeah bro?"

"DO YOU THINK WE'RE SAFE HERE?"

"... i hope so, bro… i really hope so…"

Casey paused after walking down two stairs, hearing the sound of heavy footsteps entering the inn.

"Hello! Welcome to…" The innkeeper trailed off as she noticed whoever had just walked in.

"We have been informed that there may be a human in this town. Have you seen them?"

Casey bit her lip in fear. The innkeeper and the shopkeeper were the only ones in town that knew the truth about her. Despite being freaked out at the news, they agreed to keep quiet… For the well-being of Sans and Papyrus.

"A human?" The innkeeper asked. "No, I don't think I have."

"Very well, then. If you see the human, please contact the Royal Guard." There was the sound of footsteps leaving the inn.

Casey stayed where she was on the stairs for a few minutes before slowly walking down the rest of the way. If the Royal Guard suspected she was here, she was in danger… And if the Royal Guard could track her down… Then the scientist that had hurt Sans and Papyrus could find them too.

"Casey? Do you need anything?" The innkeeper asked, sounding worried. Her voice dragged Casey out of her thoughts. Honestly, she couldn't remember her original reason for coming down here… But now…

"Can I go in the back room?" Casey asked.

"Of course!"

Casey walked into the back room, which held extra supplies for the inn. Casey found a place to sit down.
