On the topic of pirates, Asriel tries to relax a little. He remembers that book - he remembers Toriel wanted to look through it first to make sure it was age appropriate. The image of his mom and Sans kissing still lingers in the back of his mind, but he pushes it aside and settles down next to Toriel.

"Yeah, I remember that book! That's the lady pirate who was fighting and giant octopus on the cover, right? Does she fight a giant octopus? Who wins? Do they team up?"
