"What's going on in the world today, Frisk?" Chara spoke up cheerily, attempting to look over my shoulder at my phone despite Asriel's firm grip on his shoulder.

I sighed, setting it down. "The usual weirdness; ads, drama surrounding the royal family, completely random news breaks, and an update on Kris' little adventure at QC's a few months ago."

Asriel leaned forward to look at me passed Chara. "Which royal family?"

I glanced away from them, not wanting to meet their eyes and studied the trees lining Miss Toriel's driveway. "The monsters' very own."

A few evergreen trees blew softly in the wind, the noonday sun streaming through their leaves into the small cove. Small dark clouds floated passively by, silently threatening a later storm. The sound of Kris' maniacal laughter came from the backyard where he was conducting some sort of experiment with rocks and a box of fruit roll ups Miss Toriel gave him after lunch. It's more than likely he's trying to see what they'd taste like together. I don't think he would straight up eat a rock but we've been careful to check on him periodically. Asriel's convinced he would. Chara suggested we go back and join him but I think he's just trying to steal Kris' fruit roll ups.

"...Great." Asriel sighed heavily and placed a paw over his face.

Chara was silent for a second, gently pulling at the edge of the oversized green t-shirt Asriel had lent him earlier. He didn't look up from his shirt when he spoke up. "I take it people know about me now...?"
