[ she nods at that again, as a promise. while steven can't hear what they're saying (nor does he want to eavesdrop), he does speak up from the other side of the door. ]
Make sure you fully consider the decision you're making, Frisk. Those masks no doubt come from CERES, which means that they're unpredictable. If you destroy it, you may be tempting a repercussion that we won't be able to help you with.
[ he doesn't mean to scare them, but he wants them to understand the risks that could come with doing something like this. he can't stop them, but he can at least inform them. ]
[That's a fair warning. A very, very fair warning. They haven't been here for very long, but they've heard a number of things about CERES. Bad things. Scary things. Things they can and will do to people. If there's going to be some punishment for this, it's guaranteed to be awful. But—
But...
There are things that are scarier than what could happen to them, so. They put the mask on the ground. Try to pretend it isn't there. Look at Aron.]
[ well, he tried. there isn't much else that he can do without pushing boundaries, and frisk has made their choice. from here on out, he can only support them and do his best to protect them, should anything go wrong.
aron looks down at the mask, then up at frisk before nodding in understanding. she approaches it, focusing power into her front legs. they begin to glow with energy, and once she's focused all of her power, she hops up and slams her stubby feet onto the mask, shattering it with ease. that's quite a bit of power packed into such a tiny body. ]
[Admittedly, they've been very curious about how she could help them break their mask. They had never seen her use any magic before, despite being a monster, and so... It really comes as a surprise when her front legs start glowing. Make that a double surprise, once she effortlessly smashes the mask into itty bitty pieces.
Quite a bit of power, indeed. Frisk blinks, stunned for all of two seconds, before—]
... That was so cool! You're so cool.
[Well. Steven is probably going to hear that from the hallway. At least cool monster powers are a foolproof way to cheer them up.]
[ aron seems very satisfied with her performance, looking quite proud at frisk's praise. she is cool!
meanwhile, while steven isn't quite happy when he hears the sound of the mask shattering, but he can't help the smile that plays on his lips when he hears frisk's reaction. he's proud of all of his pokemon, even the small ones. ]
