“…Beware the man who speaks in hands.”

“What about the bakery?” They didn’t want to mess with her job, just to go on a potentially pointless chase. The small smooch soothed them and the one thrown to the corner brought a pinch of amusement. Gaster had already moved on. There had to be a way to save him though…and the human would be coming soon.

The scent of flowers and grass clung to their cloak, along with a faint smoke. It was the same cloak they’d had since Gaster gave it to them, centuries ago. They blushed slightly at her curling closer, a few bubbles fluttering in the water around their skull, and it only worsened at her’s. He let her go with an apology, sitting up.

They let the water change shape and wrap around her hands. They let it form and morph, curling and weaving. “And you two mine.” As well as Grillby. Funny how a fire elemental and a water elemental could be friends. There had been Adel too, but she was truly gone; her daughter, just as brash and beautiful and strong as she has been, carrying on her legacy. “...Have you seen Sans and Papyrus running around? They haven’t been to the ferry in awhile.”

“I didn’t know if you would remember… The old royal scientist, there was an accident…we were erased..from time. Noone remembers us, not even His Majesty..or General Hellfire.” They buried their face back in her shoulder. Seeing her cry just made them more upset, but they had to stop their own tears first. They’d been alone for so long.

The suddenness startled them. They froze. Was she..remembering one of them? Which one of them was it? Though, she didn’t remember any of the surface? Even other monsters the ones that survived remembered the surface, just not them and Gaster. Strange. An anomaly perhaps? She did spend the last of the war with them, but that shouldn’t of affected her memory of things prior to meeting them. Actually, they found it was most common for them and gaster to simply be erased from the event of a memory- a battle, a meeting… They had been quiet for too long. “…Tra la la…Many were lost in the war. Even generals.”
