“so--i am curious, and know nicknames may happen more over time but is there anything in particular either one of you would like to be called?” toriel was pretty curious, so perhaps asking sans and venelope would not hurt. she called asgore gorey as a cute nickname once upon a time ago...and of course, her default “dear”, although that was more so as a general term of endearment for family and loved ones alike.

               ❝HEY. Wake up. This REALLY ain’t the place               t’be takin’ a nap. You’re in my WAY.❞ Edge didn’t know where this Monster had come from and FRANKLY he didn’t really care all that much but he knew a WEAKLING when he saw one, anyone dressed like THAT would be eaten alive by the other monsters in Snowdin if left to their own devices. His Boss would tell him to mind his own business, let them get what’s coming to them but maybe, just MAYBE, he had a little soft spot for weaker monsters like himself he’d like to be the boss of someone else for a change and weaker monsters made easy pickings.               ❝If you’re lookin’ t’get your ass stomped then by               all means, stay layin’ here. Otherwise, get the               hell up and follow me. An’ keep your head down,               I don’t need you gettin’ me any unwanted attention.❞

‘  well,  it’s  not  very  hard  to  stay  away  from  a  place  you    FREQUENT     in,  you  know  ?  ’     a  gentle  smile  pushes  on  venelope’s  features  as  she  regards  the  younger  skeleton  in  training,  turning  the  sign  of  the  bar  to  “closed”  under  grillby’s  instruction  to  lock  up  the  place  for  the  night.  whatever  night  may  be  in  the  underground  with  all  of  them  barely  having  a     CONCEPT      of  time.  

still,  the  shorter  rabbit  gently  clasps  an  encouraging  paw  to  his  back.  a  smile     MAKING     its  way  across  her  lips.     ‘  don’t  worry,  i  made  sure  he  would  eat  something  good  for  him  for  once.  i  don’t     REALLY     know  if  skeletons  can  get  sick,  but  i  know  well  enough  that  you  care  loads  about  him.  you  can’t  count  on  good  ol’  venelope  to  look  out  of  your  numbskull  of  a  brother  while  you’re  busy.  ’      she  nods  to  herself.

‘  pun  not  intended.  ’

Papyrus shrugs in agreement...yeah its pretty embarrassing to think of the many times he has collected Sans from here. Especially as the food here doesn’t meet the standards of The Great Papyrus!

If Sans isn’t here now...then he’s probably at home, sleeping off whatever he’d eaten. Lazy Bones!

‘Well, at least he’s been taken care of. My brother will eat nothing but junk if he had it his way.’

‘Thank you.’

it was a girl's night for them both--the caretaker and venelope had a day off and decided to spend it together. which toriel was very pleased and happy about. with schedules like theirs, a teacher's and a baker's, it can be hard to find time to spend together; but the two manage to get by with what they are given, and toriel is blessed either way with venelope in her life and by her side.

toriel hums a light tune--a little off key due to being just a little tipsy-okay a bit more than a little tipsy--the pair had been watching movies, talking and laughing, and drinking. it was then ven spoke up, something rather serious but wonderful all at the same time. warmth bloomed from within toriel, and she could not tell if it was from the spirits they had both been drinking, or love for the rabbit in front of her, or most likely a combination of both.

how much have they both had to drink? tori was not sure--she thinks she was by her third or fourth glass of wine by now.

"oh, ven." tori gazed lovingly at them. she reached forward and stroked her partner's cheek softly and gently. "and you with me, venelope. i love you, you know?" the caretaker leans forward and presses a kiss to the corner of her girlfriend's mouth.

@cinnabund || unprompted 

to say it had been a while was an understatement, and while the bunny’s location was no mystery to sans, he decided to simply give her space when being help captive by family duty required its share of distance from everything else. everyone else not exempt.

there was familiarity, warmth... and even perhaps a dash of affection in her soul. through her chest -- though venelope might have walloped him on the head a couple times before without realising what the skeleton truly was staring at -- he could see it flare brighter when she was near him. almost as if, after all the toils and tribulations her family no doubt made her wade through, being next to him was the closest to alive the sagi must have felt in a long time.

❝ nah. ❞ the skeleton replied after the atypical approach, fries and that water sausage patty burg the skeleton could often be caught eating her bargaining chips. ❝ no idea who you are, lady. but, uh, can tell ya got some experience wining and dining ‘em first, eh? ❞ 

it was a joke, of course. highlighted by that habitual wink before he popped another fry into his mouth, gloved hand resting on top of venelope’s paw above the barcounter. how long had it been since she’s even trimmed nose claws? sans sat on the thought idly while poking at them both affectionately and to test for his own phalanges’ piercing resistance.

❝ kinda surprised ya remember me though. ❞

venelope couldn’t have known what heavy a burden those words carried.

oh no, their bashfulness was contagious and was making toriel turn rather bashful herself. “i really have no other plans for the time being, i’d like to stay, if you want me to.” she liked spending time with venelope, and would not mind spending more time with her. tori’s face was a light pink with a blush and she hoped it was not super obvious. but with her fur feeling super warm, that hope seemed rather foolish and caused tori to blush a little bit more.

"well, perhaps there are other solutions we could come up with!" a flustered toriel responded, her face a bright pink when she received the kiss from venelope. the sudden affection caught her off guard, but it was more than welcomed.

"i would not want you to climb on top of the counters every time just to kiss me, that is dangerous after all and you could accidentally harm yourself, venelope.

perhaps i could lift you up sometimes? it would be incredibly easy, i am very strong and you would be so light!"

"venelope--it is rather late is it not?" a look outside would confirm this for them both, sunset had starting to transform the sky to violets and reds and pinks across the sky. she had to stay late due do grading, and then a meeting, and she had not been expecting to find venelope here. tori's cheeks would warm and turn a light shade of pink.
