Chara, Frisk and Luna - a general investigation

[achievementhunter]

As irritating as it is to give the only source of knowledge they've found thus far such a wide berth, they are...attempting to blend into the background, somewhat. Additionally, questions would eventually lead to the kind that revealed all too much of their current situation- a situation they aren't willing to expose their Partner to. Not yet.

Let them get the answers, then twist them into something more palatable.

So they turn on their heel, disregarding the lemur entirely as they direct an overly bright smile to the two kids accompanying them.

"Why don't we have a look into those...hanging bags, whilst the adults talk?"

It's not really a question.

The look that has glazed over Luna's eyes is real, and she's definitely watching the talking lemur. It...spoke? She'd never heard of any kind of creature doing that before-- except a relatively famous travelling Meowth from Kanto. It's mind boggling, and she's so curious, and gosh-- gosh she just wants to go talk to it!

Chara's less than questioning request brings her out of her gaze, and her feet move forward to accompany the two smaller children-- are they wearing sweaters? That just seems uncomfortable, even if it is cooler the deeper in they go.

"They kind of look like hammocks," Luna chimes in, smiling back at Chara. "I'm in! Let's see if we can get a closer look!"

The front of her red shoes tap quickly against the ground, and she looks pretty determined to get to the bottom of this.

"I'm Luna, by the way! Nice to meet you both!"

Frisk stares at the lemur perhaps the longest of the three, rust-colored eyes tracking over their shoulder even as they follow the other children out into the opening of stone and pillar. Not out of a desire to speak to the strange creature themself so much as -- observe and listen, maybe.

But their Partner is going this way, and so Frisk follows without complaint. It's their second companion that finally draws their eyes back, and they find themself smiling at her. They've never seen her before in their life, but her energy and eagerness shine in the stale darkness of the cave like a soft glow of light. It's contagious; before long they find themself equally interested in the strange little slings tethered to pillars and stones. It's a sign of some sort of civilization, isn't it? As if the temple alone wasn't, but still.

"Kittu," they say, thumbing their sweater. They've had practice up to now, and it's becoming easy. "Want to go first?"

In comparison, Chara isn't so easily impressed. When are they ever?

Kids like this didn't show up in Sol Raveh. People like this didn't show up in Sol Raveh; if they did, they never lasted very long. Smiling, happy natures didn't last in warzones- how long until her smile is gone, too?
When it does, will Frisk's disappear again, as well?
"Kidwun," They answer finally, gesturing towards the nearest...hammock. They wouldn't know; they've never been camping before. Though the closer they get, the more obvious it is that these things are certainly big enough to fit a full grown person. Interesting... "I do hope there's nothing dangerous inside of them- or more talking animals."
