[ at least that's something! and while steven doesn't believe for one bit that it's the complete truth of why frisk is acting the way they are, it's a start. he can work off of that, but right now he needs to be understanding. ]

I'm sorry to hear that. You two were close friends, weren't you?

[They're nodding, but not making any eye contact.]

Yeah...

[They were close. Maybe closer than Frisk deserved?]

He was— Mm, is a really, really good friend. I think... he'll be okay, though. People come back here. That's what I keep hearing.

You've heard correctly. It's not unheard of for someone to disappear from here, only to reappear some time after. You can be rest assured that you will see each other again, whether it be here or back home.

[ but that doesn't seem to help their expression much, and he's still suspicious of that lack of eye contact... he's not sure if he should pry more, but it's worth a shot. ]

Is that the only thing that's troubling you?

Hope so. Think he'll get real mad if me, Sa— [PRACTICALLY STUTTERING HERE. Like they were about to mention the name of someone they're trying to avoid.] If, um... If we have fun without him.

[Not suspicious at all. What name starts with "Sa", anyway...?]

... Yes? Just that. Not anything else.

[This would be the point where they start making jokes to avoid their feelings, but that's too much like a certain someone. Oops.]

[ his eyes narrow for a moment, but only just that - a moment. afterwards, he's back to only looking concerned. ]

I'm afraid I don't believe you. But if you don't want to talk about it right now, I understand.

[ he sighs, bringing his wrist up to look at his watch. it's late, but he's not about to force a kid to bed without food. ]

I'll buy you something to eat.
