If you're sure...

[They're not going to push. If Steven doesn't want to go into detail, then he doesn't want to go into detail. Having him admit he's "not at his best" is close enough, anyway. It puts them a little at ease.]

But... lemme know if you need anything, okay? I'll help.

Just hearing your reassurance is already a tremendous help. Thank you, Frisk.

[ he really does mean that. just knowing that they're safe is a worry off of his shoulders to begin with, but it's nice to hear that people are concerned for him. it helps with the feeling of isolation that comes with death. ]

Know you'd do the same for me, so... Don't have to thank me. Just gotta promise to take care of yourself, and... Not do anything dumb, like a dumb doodoohead.

[This is their attempt at making the mood a little brighter. Experience shock and awe at their excellent vocabulary.]

I promise I will try my best to do nothing of the sort.

[ that's a sincere promise, but we all know that steven is a gigantic dumb doodoohead at heart. at the very least, he sounds a little better than he did when he had first picked up the call. ]

Put your pinkies together.

[Sounding as bossy as a 10-year-old kid can sound. Where are they going with this...? It's a mystery. But they're glad Steven sounds a little better than he did earlier.]

[ he has a feeling that he can guess what frisk's intentions are. after all, it was a gesture that they had shared when they had first met; how could he forget?

but even though they can't see him, he does it anyway. it's enough to bring a brighter smile to his lips. ]

They're linked. Should I shake on it?

[Though he can't see it, they're beaming when he calls out the reason for this. Good job, Steven!]

Yup! [Really happy he got it.] Pretend your left hand is me, okay?

[... Since they're left handed. Get it? Get it??]

voice;

[geophile]

All right.

[ he definitely sounds better, but hearing the smile in frisk's voice helps with that even more. he's still physically cold, but there's a certain warmth in his chest that's built up. ]

I'll be sure to give you a proper one when we meet next.

[Well. This whole conversation went from sad to adorable in no time at all. Good.]

No forgetting. You owe me one pinky swear.

[And we all know those are sacred.]
