[a]ct // frisk

[ the same day she's absolutely sure chara's back, she heads to their residence. she doesn't bother to ask for permission; she doesn't even bother to give them a heads up. the only warning chara or frisk will receive is a knock at the door, and (once it's opened) an apologetic: ]

Good evening, Frisk-san. [ her voice is softer than usual. she may be cold and cruel, but not to unrelated parties - especially ones as curiously mature as young frisk. ] Are the two of you doing well?

[ as well as can be hoped, that is. ]

[b]elittle // chara

[ chara doesn't respond the first time frisk knocks. that's fine; she has all the time she could wish for, after all. and while patience isn't her strongest suit, any good trapmaster knows when they have to wait.

so she spends time with frisk, teaching card tricks and playing games the whole while. and when enough time has passed, she approaches chara's door once more, knocking and casually saying: ]

Chara-san, I do hope you're awake. [ she leans in, making sure to enunciate. ] Though if you aren't, I'm happy to wait as long as is necessary.

[ the threat has a very different meaning, for the ones like them. ]

Understandably so. I trust you've been talking with them, at least?

[ listen. you don't have to let satoko in for conversations too often - okay, discounting right now, where she will pester you until you do exactly that - but you do need to treat your friends well in those worlds you stay in. it's one thing she's learned from this whole mess. ]

I wouldn't mind. Don't trouble yourself if it's only on my behalf, though.

[ she sits quickly and simply, in a surprisingly proper seiza. looks like she can be polite in some situations. ]

Yes, I have. We live together, and I care about them. I'm not going to just ignore them. [It's one of those things that at a different level of corruption they might be more hesitant to discuss, but it's true. They care for Frisk. More than they rationally should, perhaps.

They fill up a kettle full of cold water, hold their hand against it and pour it into two mugs for the two of them. Their father was quite adamant about teaching them how to make a good cup of tea.]

I assume your concern is of a professional nature as a fellow looper?
