We'll always be here for her

“It’s, uh… believe it or not, it’s Onionsan. I’m sure you’ve passed through his room before, and he’s surely greeted you. Now- hear me out. He may be a little… odd, but he knows everything that goes on around here. Probably more. If anyone knows what might have scared Shy, he would.”

She seems almost embarrassed. 

At her initial response, he scratched his head, almost about to leave until she followed up with a potential solution. Aaron raised an eyebrow, confused as to what sort of person Gallkyrie of all people would have reservations talking about. She always was the straight-to-the-point type.

* Who’re ya talkin’ about?

Grillby? No, he was more in-tune with the goings-on of Snowdin… Muffet? No, she’s too busy looking over her people. So then…?

“It’s, uh... believe it or not, it’s Onionsan. I’m sure you’ve passed through his room before, and he’s surely greeted you. Now- hear me out. He may be a little... odd, but he knows everything that goes on around here. Probably more. If anyone knows what might have scared Shy, he would.”

* Well, she ain’t the type to be this scared over some jerk’s rumour, is she?

Aaron’s exasperation deepens, his shoulder drooping with a sigh.

* Though I guess we don’t got much else to go on…

* I take it you wouldn’t know anything about a rumour that would freak her out this badly, neither.

The sea-horse crosses his arms, confounded. If Gallkyrie didn’t know what was bothering her, who else would?

* Gotta say, I’m at a loss. The kid’s closest pals mosey’d on to the surface already, so I dunno where else to turn…

“Sorry, buddy. Not sure if I can really help you there. Not really sure who could, either...”

Gallkyrie seems frustrated for a moment before her eyes widen with realization.

“Or, maybe I might! I have someone who I go to when I really need some information around here. He’s not much for info outside Waterfall, but he may be worth a shot.”

A pause.
