As soon as Papyrus left Undyne asked to look at Sans injured arm. He didn't want to show her but Sans knew that she just wanted to make sure everything was okay. As long as it was just his arm he could handle it. Even if he wished she would wait until Papyrus got back. Undyne however was a very pushy monster so she insisted on doing it as soon as possible.
Sans didn't say much as Undyne lead him up to her living area. The weird and messy area was much more personal and inviting then most of the lab. Posters littered the walls and rows of comics, manga, and anime lined the many bookshelves of her room.
She had Sans sit in one of her chairs and pull up the obnoxiously long sleeve of his borrowed jacket. Undyne made sure everything was okay and nothing looked infected.
"Well e-everything looks o-okay for now." She said rewrapping the arm. "I w-would say you need to come back in about a w-week so I can remove those s-stiches."
Sans gave a weak nod as he readjusted his clothing.
"I was l-looking over your file and I w-was w-wondering if it would be okay if I gave you a q-quick check up."
Now Sans was really hoping Papyrus would hurry up and get back.
"I would really rather not..." He said averting his eyes.
"How long h-has it been s-since you've had a p-proper check-up?" Undyne asked lips pursed.
"I don't need a check- up I am perfectly healthy!"
"You say that b-but how can you be s-sure? There has never been someone like you before! From the file I could s-see that last time your s-soul w-was checked everything was in proper w-working order. That could change v-very easily though,"
Sans was looking down at his feet trying to avoid eye contact.
"It's been years Sans..." undyne said softening her normally loud and abrasive voice "Have your hope p-points stayed at 1?"
"Yes, It's not like they could get any lower." Sans tried to joke but it just kind of fell flat.
"Sans.." Undyne said putting a hand on his shoulder . 'Please I just w-want to make s-sure you are okay."
"What would I have to do?" He asked hesitantly.
"Well..." Undyne said taping her fingers against her arm. "I w-would need to check o-on the health of your s-soul. Then I w-would need to l-look over your o-overall health. Measure y-your high and weight to s-see how much you've g-gown. I would like to take s-some blood but that wouldn't be r-required."
Okay this was sounding less and less like something he would be comfortable with each word that was coming out of her mouth. Where the hell was Papyrus? How far away was Grillby's again?
"Would I have to take off my costume?"
"Well, y-yes I would n-need to look at your eyes a-and teeth as w-well."
Yup, nope this wasn't happening. He was not going along with this. He liked Undyne, he really did, however this was not something he was going to do just to satisfy her curiosity. She could look over her files all day if she wanted to but Sans was now dead set on getting home.
"Could I have some tea first?" Sans asked knowing just how to distract Undye.
"Oh! Yes of course!" The scientist exclaimed as she practically jumped out of her chair. "I just got some echo flower tea from Waterfall!"
"That sounds great." Sans said as Undyne ran down the stairs to go grab the stuff to make her echo flower tea.
That gave Sans his opportunity to bolt.
The trip to Grillby's took a lot longer than he thought it would.
Mostly because the place was full of gossip about the supposed human sighting in Snowdin.
Everyone was excited and spewing information that was totally incorrect. It actually made Papyrus laugh internally because he knew exactly where the rumors had started.
Most of the things he had overheard were completely useless.
"The human had been spotted in Waterfall"
"It had been hurt by a royal guard but got away"
"I heard the human had three eyes and wicked sharp teeth."
"I heard..."
and on, and on, and on.
Most of these monsters wouldn't know a human if it walked up to them and asked for the time. In the piles and piles of useless information there were a few gems though. He learned that Alphys and her guard had searched Snowdin forest and found nothing, not even a body. They were moving onto Waterfall next so they could hopefully search it before night fell.
Supposedly the queen wanted that soul and was offering a knightship to whoever got it for her. This was bad but not the worst. They had a safe place to stay and none of the dogs they had called out for the hunt lived in Snowdin. They all lived in Hotland or The Capitol.
That meant none of them knew Sans smell and therefore couldn't rat him out. As long as they stayed in the labs until everything calmed down they would be fine. Hell they could probably head back to Snowdin tomorrow morning.
When Grillby gave the food to Papyrus' he thanked the flame monster. The polite monster replied that it was no trouble and told him to give Sans a hello for him. The small happy go lucky monster hadn't been by since they moved to Snowdin. At one point Sans had been quite fond of the food and been by at least once a week.
Papyrus told him he would deliver his message and left with a wave. It warmed his heart to see that even after so long the monsters in the area still remembered Sans. He really was amazing and left an impact on almost everyone he managed to befriend.
Blinking right into the middle of Undyne's main lab with a greasy bags of food in his hand Papyrus was shocked to see Undyne's feet sticking out from under her desk. Papyrus made his way to the pair of legs.
"Whatcha doing?" He asked causing Undyne to startle and hit her head on the underside of the metal table. A metallic ding followed by a shof owww made Papyrus chicle. That was until Undyne came out and he saw the normally dark color of her face a couple of shades pailer.
"I-I-I" she said stutter getting worse "I w-w-w-w-was l-l-l-l-l-looking-"
Papyrus dropped the bags of food on the table top and put two steading hands on his friend's shoulders. "Undyne deep breaths."
It took a few minutes but ha managed to get her breathing under control and her stutter to the point where he could understand her.
"I-I w-was l-looking f-for s-sans." She manage to choke out.
"What do mean looking for." Papyrus responded tensely.
"I-I c-can't f-f-f-find h-him!" The doctor wailed.
"Calm down." Papyrus said sterly he was worried too, probably more so than his friend, but they couldn't waste valuable time arguing. They needed to find him before anything happen.
"Where did you see him last?"
