A knock. Another knock. A lot of knocks.

"Kris? Are you here? It is Asgore." Silence.

I hear footsteps down the hall. Barely conscious, I head out Kris' door and hear a two voices, neither Kris' "Howdy, young one! My name is Asgore. I was sent here by Toriel to check up on you."

Asgore is a massive goat creature, like Toriel. He has on a casual flower T-shirt that is pink with white flowers. I've never seen him before.

Now the second visitor speaks up. "hey, kid. you feeling alright? you look BONE tired."

I laugh at his pun. However, Asgore gives him an exhausted look. "Sans, I thought we agreed you wouldn't immediately start with the puns."

"sorry asgore, but you must admit that was pretty HUMEROUS."

I'm still laughing, but I notice Kris' almost unamused expression. And Asgore is holding back a smile. Sans' looks directly at Kris. His expression changes. "not your cup of tea?"

After an awkward silence, Asgore says, "Speaking of tea, Kris and...human, would you guys like to try this new kind of tea? I brought enough for... well, I only brought enough for three people."

Sans speaks up. "hey that's alright fluffybuns, i'll just go to the market. i'm not a huge tea fanatic anyways." Sans walks to the door and says "i'll see you in a few seconds." and walks out the door.

"What the-"

Asgore cuts me off. "He has his shortcuts." Suprisingly, he soon returns with a bottle of ketchup.

"How-"

"shortcuts."

Another short pause.

Asgore sets the kettle on the stove and starts boiling water.

Kris motions me and Sans over to the table. Sans holds the ketchup he got in his hands.

"What are gonna you do with that ketchup?"

"drink it, obviously." (How obvious is that exactly?) "what? never seen a skeleton drink ketchup before?"

(No?)

"The tea is ready," Asgore pours the tea into three teacups. He carries them over to the table and puts one down in front both Kris and me. "Be careful, it's hot, children." I drink the tea. It reminds me of the flowers in front of the house.

"Children, are you going to be alright by yourselves? School is almost out, but if for some reason if you need an adult, please tell us.
