They passed without issue through another long hall, where Chara paused briefly. Scanning over one of the walls, she stepped closer to it. The Flower, in turn, giving her a curious look.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"I think there's a Froggit behind the wall." She suggested, before letting out a huff. "Well, was, it's gone now."
"Ok, sure," Flowey said, not believing her.
"Guess it decided to Hop along." She snickered, causing him to give her a dirty look.
Continuing on, they went through a room containing six drop points, and exactly 1 switch. She dropped a rock over one of the points, causing the ground to give way in a violent fashion. Scanning the pit over, she could see a mixture of spikes and golden flowers awaiting whoever was unfortunate enough to fall.
"I was briefly thinking of stepping on that...I think I made the right decision." She commented casually. "Well, down you go-" She suggested.
"W-what, why me?" Flowey asked in trepidation.
"Well, I can't dig through the floor like you can." She reminded him.
"Well, how do you know?" The Flower demanded. "Have you ever tried?"
Chara thought for a moment. "Ya know, I used to really like Sunflower Seeds. It was satisfying to pluck them out-" His eyes got wide. "Slowly, and bite them in half."
"Alright, alright. Geez." Flowey replied. "No need to get mean."
"Thank you Flowey." She said in a sing-songy voice.
The flower was placed back into the earth, his roots shifting through the weak points in the stone. After a moment, the flower vanished through the cracks. This process, in theory, shouldn't have taken very long, however as they were exploring for the switch they met a Vegetoid. The Flower bolted out of said pit with an unholy swiftness.
"He didn't seem happy," Chara noted, gesturing to the angry monster in the pit.
"He almost ate me!" Flowey exclaimed.
"Huh, guess I'm not the only one who chewed on Sunflower seeds." She joked.
He scowled. "Not funny."
"Very funny actually, just not to you," Chara reassured him. "Well, one more pit and...hey I guess mom was right." She noted.
"About?" The Flower asked as the duo proceeded over to the last spot of breaking earth.
"That it's always in the last place you look," Chara told him, kicking a rock onto the top as the earth gave way. "Well, I wish you luck, I want you to know, the people of the underground appreciate your sacrifice."
He shot her a dirty look. "Oh, definitely, I appreciate the appreciation."
"It's what I do." She gave him a half salute, the Flower scanning the pit over. "Oh and don't worry, I'm sure you'll be Vine."
"You spent too much time with Toriel." The Flower complained briefly, before vanishing into the earth.
After a moment, she heard a clicking noise. The spikes blocking the doorway descended, the flower flowing back out of the soil. Little bits of dirt flinging from him as he shook.
"Are you cold?" She inquired.
"No, why?" He asked.
"Because you were shaking." She commented back.
"I was just shaking the dirt off." He replied as she picked him up.
"Well, it's no dirt of my shoulder." She said.
"Shame, all the shame." Flowey said, once more returning to his position on her shoulder.
"Well, that was an adventure." She mused.
"You didn't do anything." He replied.
She stepped towards the exit. "I was...er...a Manager, or yeah, a Director." She told him confidently. "I directed you, and made sure you could do your job appropriately."
"Really?" He asked with a half-smirk.
"Sure," Chara told him. "I mean, I guess I could have told you to go kick rocks, but uh...only one of us has legs."
"Those covers weren't that strong, I could have broken them," Flowey assured her.
They passed through the door. "Sure, yeah, definitely. But, with me-" She began.
"No puns!" The Flower demanded.
"You have a leg up on the competition," Chara replied with playful defiance.
"This is literally the worst possible thing." Flowey groaned. "Do you just think up puns the whole time, or what?"
"They just come to me," Chara told him. "But hey, no need to get upset, I could have let you get eaten by the Carot." She reminded him.
He crossed his leaves. "Second worst thing then."
They walked, keeping the vague smile across her face. The duo continued on, the path before them wasn't that much longer. Only a little ways more.
