Patrols were as normal as ever for him. no sight of humans, his brother asleep at his post, and daring glares towards him. which he had quickly managed to disperse. not many dared to attack him, with his status as a royal guard member, he had proven himself on multiple occasions.

though, as of late, many monsters had started questioning his authority, just because he had found a girlfriend. around her, he seemed less attentive, but that was far from the truth. he was simply... happier with her. he never liked killing monsters. thats not to say that he hadn’t before, he just hated doing it, and to the relief of many monsters, he was more prone to being merciful than most other monsters.

spending his days either patrolling, or spending time with charlotte via order of undyne, whom conspired with alphys to set this whole relationship up, not to his displeasure. given she was the newest member of the guard. he was tasked with making sure she knew her job, and was conveniently placed within one of the rooms in waterfall.

he was just going through snowdin forest towards the large door while sans moved to his post in hotland. checking his traps he’d set for whatever human was unfortunate enough to walk through, and to free what monster was dumb enough to fall victim to them.

monster kid. ALWAYS monster kid, no matter how many times he had told the brat to stay away from the traps, he managed to get stuck. WHY he couldn’t figure out. grumbling he crossed his arms and stared at the child.

“I TOLD YOU THAT YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO COME THIS WAY MULTIPLE TIMES. WHY IS IT I ALWAYS FIND YOU ENSNARED IN THESE TRAPS I’VE SET FOR HUMANS?!” he asked leaning down to stare at the defiant monster.

“yo... what do you care? you’ll free me either way cause it’s your JOB to.” he responded with a grimace, obviously in pain.

“TRUE, I WILL FREE YOU... EVENTUALLY.” he smirked before walking away to the next trap he had set.

“y-yo! why?!” he asked looking surprised.

“TO TEACH YOU A FUCKING LESSON YOU BRAT. MAYBE THIS TIME YOU WONT COME BACK SNOOPING. SINCE TELLING YOUR PARENTS DOES NOTHING TO CHANGE YOUR BEHAVIOR.” he says as he continued walking.

“y-you’re going to regret this!” The kid called out fruitlessly. though papyrus had already decided to get him later.
