"Sometimes I think they're making stuff up on the fly, you know?" He shrugs, answers her smile with a rueful one of his own. "Like, they keep changing the rules when it benefits them. So I don't think they really knew what they were doing in the first place."

Just as well. We didn't have royalty in my country, I'd totally forget how to address you as 'your highness' or whatever."

"Frisk, they-" He pauses, color draining his face moment before he rights himself. She said they were fine. He'd seen Chara had been, after that time with Sans. Speaking of Chara... "Chara and Frisk are your kids?"
