Alarm bells ring in your head. It’s never good when someone wants souls. you feel panic starting to creep up on you, and viel trying to claw up your throat, but you push them down. You didn’t know what face you where making, your face didn’t emote well, but you were sure it was pinched up in pain. “….why. Do you. Need that?” you grit out. You supposed you sound mad, but the trembling in your jaw was sure not to go unnoticed. Your hand gripped the knife you had yet to set down.
You try to reason with yourself. Maybe this chara came from a timeline where the barrier was still closed. Maybe they just had a morbid sense of humor. That sounded like a joke, right? But your hand was still clench around the knife, and you continued to shake.
Wow, they sure fucked that up. Frisk’s whole body sings of tension, and Chara bristles, folding their arms and drawing themself up. “Not asking for yours,” they snap. “Unless you felt like handing it over. I think you have had enough of people trying to rip it out of you by now!
“I just need some. None of your business why. And I’d like to get them without killing anyone, but that just keeps looking harder and harder…”
You release the breath you didn’t realize you were holding. They weren’t gonna try to hurt you, and if you’re lucky not anyone else too. They asked if you had souls? Why would you? you would like to help but.. but the only place that might have any is…. you are never going back there. Besides, last you left they didn’t have any souls. You try not to think how likely it is that they would have one now. “…no. I do not. Sorry..” you worry about being impolite, and decide to stutter a offer for tea and chocolate brownies. All charas like that, right? You’d feel uncomfortable, leaving it like this after jumping to conclusions.
