hey, it's sans.

y'know, looking back? it's been pretty interesting.

i mean, look at us. we've got some basic amenities, power, even phones and the best internet you can make banging rocks together. we've got a community and everything, hey! nothing quite like the stale smell of desperation to really bring people together. but i've heard more than one of us ask what this war's really good for. for us.

makes a guy think about something other than starrs for a change. (yeah, see what i did there? you just dated yourself.)

anyway there's an actual point to this. see, being a good little soldier really tuckered the kid out, so frisk's gone on a vacation. some of you probably have questions. before you do, i want you to think about how much pressure kids should take. and maybe, y'know, lay off a little.

i'll keep you posted. see ya.

yeah, they weren't feeling so great, but the worst is over.

kid's gonna be just fine, but hey. i'll let them know you were worried about them, ok?

Did they try to fight on their own?

[Did she contribute to this, by trying to teach them how to use that knife?]

Do they need anything?

[justribbing]

they got sick but don't worry, it's ok now.

[ Zuko wasn't the only one trying to train them how to fight better. And as much as Sans dislikes the sight of them with a knife? ...He can't fault anyone too much for trying to help Frisk survive. ]

nah. but hey, if i think of something, you'll be first to know, ok?

[daughterofursa]

Okay.

Why didn't you just say they're resting?

1/2

[justribbing]

[ Because it's not true.

Because he screwed up, he promised and didn't keep that promise and that's really no surprise.

Because later on he might need to explain himself, and doesn't want to damage the trust Zuko and the others have placed in him because he told an outright lie instead of the truth on a technicality. ]

i don't really understand humans, zuko.
monsters? no problem. but uh, i'm still learning.
thing is, they're gonna lay low for a while, ok?

[daughterofursa]

I'd say you're better at understanding humans than I am, and I am one.

But let me know if you need any help looking after them. I can make tea.

[Tea is good when you're sick, right?]

[justribbing]

well, ok. say you get sick, right?
for monsters, hey, just get some rest, eat some good food. the people who love you encourage you, and before long you're all better.
humans, that's different.
no amount of 'hey, hang in there' is gonna get you feeling better faster, know what I mean?

I don't know. That's what Uncle did when I was sick.

It depends on the illness.

[justribbing]

...hey, what do I know?
all i've done is read a book about first aid.

[Text]

[daughterofursa]

That's what healers and physicians are for.

[Text]

[justribbing]

yeah, you're right.
i'll ring you up if we need anything, ok?

[Text]

[daughterofursa]

[Ringing is for gongs--?]

Oh because the cell phone rings.

Yeah. Ring me up anytime.
