Chapter 4: Puzzles
-.o San's POV o.-
After telling Papyrus about the Human's sight issue, he watched her making sure she was alright and didn't bump into anything. She was pretty curious of us both. Papyrus seemed to feel bad for her and want to help her more than anything else. He started talking about how he was sorry she couldn't see his greatness. I tried to calm him down but, Papyrus is just being Papyrus.
She then smiled and seemed to just be polite as she spoke kindly, "I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation but, I don't believe I know your names. I'm Eve."
Papyrus smiled at her finally getting her name and posed dramatically with his cape waving in the wind, "I AM THE GREAT PAPYRUS! IT IS A PLEASURE TO MEET SUCH A NICE AND LOVELY HUMAN LIKE YOUESELF!" She smiled in his direction and nodded, "Likewise, I'm sure."
Man, my bro is so cool.
"Don't worry, I remember your name kiddo. Name's Sans, Sans the Skeleton." I looked at her as I properly introduced myself, "Oh? You're a skeleton?" She got closer to me even more curious now. "Yeah, Papyrus and I both are." I slightly got nervous as she was so close to me. She took off her glove showing a delicate hand and smiled lightly, "May I?" she asked as she was reaching for my hand.
"What? You didn't feel it before?" I asked as I placed my hand in hers.
She smiled, "Well, the gloves are off now." I chuckled slightly as she said that. I felt my skull becoming warmer as she felt every detail of the bones in my hand making them shake, only slightly. It felt nice. Papyrus looked at us and how I was reacting. I looked at him and shrugged with a smile on my face.
"Sans, your bones are so smooth and warm. I thought they would be sharp and you would be chilled to the bone." She smiled. I just started laughing, "You know kid, you will be if you don't put your gloves back on." I didn't want to tell her that her skin was smooth like silk and warm to the touch. It was probably her gloves that made her so warm.
She nodded to me and started to put them on. That was until Papyrus stopped her, "I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WANT YOU TO 'SEE' HOW GREAT I AM AS WELL HUMAN!" She simply nodded and smiled lightly as she takes his gloved hand in hers. She pouts slightly when she can't feel his bones in her hand and feels his fluffy and warm gloves instead. However, she moves up from his hands to his wrist and up his arms to his shoulder. She giggled, "My what strong bones you have."
I chuckled as there was a light dust of orange across his cheeks. However, I felt something in my chest that I couldn't quite place my boney finger on. And it was directed at Papyrus and Eve as they stood so close together. I shook the feeling off as Papyrus seemed to enjoy the feeling of someone appreciating his bones, "THANK YOU HUMAN! NOW, LETS GET THROUGHT THESE PUZZLES TOGETHER!"
"Sounds like fun." She smiled as she linked arms with us both after getting her gloves back on, "As long as you two can guide me, I'll be fine! ~"
"What a ton of confidence."
"SANS, NO! WE'RE HAVING ABOUT TO HAVE AN ADVENTURE TOGETHER!" Papyrus could see I was going to make a pun.
"A Skele-ton." I chuckled saying it anyways.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! SANS!"
~ -.- ~ Frisks' POV ~ -.- ~
After Toriel dressed me up in nice and comfortable clothes for the weather in Snowdin. Much different from all the other times where I would normally only be in a tee shirt and my shorts. I looked at her as we walked into the next area and in the snow. The snow crunched under our feet. I finally spoke softly to take the eerie atmosphere away, "Um… Toriel right?"
"Yes?" She asked softly as she held my hand tenderly, "What is it my child?"
"W-What Did Eve say about me?" I asked nervously holding her hand back. I was worried about Eve but also about her telling Toriel about how Eve even got here.
Flowey chuckled slightly as he was in his boot, hiding from the cold and wind that would brush passed us every so often, "This should be an interesting conversation."
I looked back at Flowey and glared at him. He was strapped to my back with his boot, "Hush you. You should be saving your energy. It's too cold here for you to be talking." He simply grumbled as he kept quiet.
"Well, she told me that you are the nicest boy. You are very protective of her even though you are a bit shy." She says softly, "I hope you'll both enjoy living with me. Eve wants us to all live together at the house you both made together. I would love to see it."
I smiled lightly at the thought. Me, Toriel, Asgore and Eve all being a family, "Well, the front of the house is not much to look at… We live in the back part of the house. Near a plot of farm land."
"Still, I hope you wouldn't mind having me around." She smiles so nicely. Her fur blocked the cold perfectly. So, she was dressed just fine.
I smiled and thought of Toriel being at the house with Eve, Asgore and I as we all gardening together. Toriel teaching while I'm in school, Asgore going to the farmers' market and selling produce with Eve. All of us shopping together… It just sounded, lovely. Until I thought about the end screen that would come up.
Rest?
-Yes.
-No.
I looked at her after shaking the thought from my mind for now.
I smiled lightly, "I would like that."
