[They were, perhaps, a little angry at Tim. In a similar manner that they were angry with Lup; a brief, noxious bubble of fury that popped soon after forming. As complex as their emotions have been in the wake of their fight with Frisk, it still includes... a small piece of-- gratitude, that they had been stopped. That the worst Frisk had to bear, as Chara was ushered away, was a split lip and an equal sense of unsatisfied frustration and resentment.
Lup had assisted them in coming to terms with it. They could only assume that Tim had been there for Frisk in the exact same way.
There wasn't... an intention to avoid him. No intention to let him stew in assumptions and radio silence, even when they simply had no wish to-- hear. About their Partner. How they were doing. If they were happier, now that Chara was gone.
Chara hadn't been avoiding him. They hadn't.
But they also hadn't thought that the next time they'd see him, he'd be in such a state.]
