Lady's neon green eyes flew open, and she prepared to fight, only to find that she was back in her room. "What the Heck?! Did I dream that, or did that psychotic flower really do all that horrible stuff again?" Lady muttered to herself, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. then she sleepily yawned and stretched her arms, trying to feel the air near her for her alarm so she could turn it off as her vision slowly un-blurred. Then she remembered, she was in the ruins, and she didn't have an alarm. So then where was that high pitched noise coming from? Wait a minute! this was familiar! Could it be that events had.. reset? "Kitty? is that you?" Lady asked.
"Nope! just me, Frisk. Toriel sent me over to wake you up for breakfast." Frisk said as he stopped his alarm-like humming.
"But I thought... Oh never mind. Go on ahead and let Tori know that I'll be down for breakfast in a minute." Lady said and sat up, stifling a yawn.
"Okay. Um... so I was wondering, how's your shoulder?" Frisk asked sheepishly.
Lady looked at him and smiled, amused at his worry over her. "Oh no worries about that. things might've looked scary last night but I've dealt with worse. Regeneration is one of my powers, and I'm made of pretty tough stuff, so I'm fine." she replied.
Frisk looked somewhat relieved. "Good. Well, I'm gonna head to breakfast now, I can't wait to try Toriel's eggs!" he said, and hurried out Lady's door and back to Toriel's dwelling, unaware of a pair of feline eyes watching him from a distance.
The 2 walked into the kitchen, and heard Toriel humming a tune as she made pancakes. Toriel stopped humming and looked up from the skillet when she heard them enter. "Hello, Nice to see you both made it to breakfast. " she said, and resumed her cooking.
"Er, yeah thanks. I brought some eggs." Lady said, taking out a spare skillet and cracking some eggs over it. Lady had heard of ghosts that had fire powers, but unfortunately she had yet to figure out mastery of that, so she was stuck using Toriel's stove top while the Monsteress used her fire magic to make the pancakes. "Hey Frisk, how do you like your eggs?" Lady asked
Frisk paused a moment to think. "Scrambled, please!" he finally exclaimed with a wide grin.
A few moments later, Lady and Toriel finished making breakfast and they set it down on the table and they and frisk ate it quietly. Finally, Lady couldn't stand the awkwardness any longer. "Tori I..." she began, but Toriel cut her off.
"No, friend you don't have to apologize. I understand that you did what you thought was right in stopping me, even if I don't agree with you. I know that your destiny calls you to leave these safe walls, and though it breaks my heart to think of the perils that you will face, I wish you and Frisk well on your journey." Toriel said and let out a heavy sigh. Lady had always thought of Toriel as her cool slightly older roommate, but she saw Toriel's tired face and realized just how much older the monsteress really was. Had their earlier fight taken something out of Toriel as well? Toriel read her friend's expression and smiled a little"No need to worry about me Lady, I've a few centuries in me still. I'll manage without you. " She reassured the half-human and added "I've packed some provisions for you and Frisk by the door, as well as some traveling money for the journey. "
"Tori, you really didn't need to-" Lady started to protest, but Toriel stopped her.
"It was the least I could do. Since you and young Frisk seem determined to reach the barrier, you'll need supplies to help you get there. Frisk has a cellphone with my number, so you and he can contact me. Now you must take your leave, you'll want to get an early start before the snow gets too cold. Farewell!" Toriel said, and Lady and Frisk got up and headed down the path to the door.
