“You’re very welcome.”

At least that more or less wrapped up the Trunk-or-Treat...

Asgore blinked, turning his attention back down to them, smiling behind his ‘mask’ again.

“Thank you, little one.”

“You’re welcome,” they said. “My name is Chara. I’m from Undertale.”

“I believe I’ve heard of you. It is nice to meet you, Chara.”

“Good evening, Susie…!” Asgore greeted her, dropping another homemade treat into her bag.

And on it went… Frisk. Lancer. Asriel. Noelle. Ralsei… Until finally, Asgore stopped up short, face lighting up past the mulch bag.

“Kris…!!”

Susie immediately stepped halfway in front of Kris.

“Hands to yourself, big guy.”

Asgore paused, surprised… then shuffled back a step sheepishly.

“Oh…! Of course. I, ah… apologize.”

Kris managed a barely perceptible nod, their shoulders hunched a little.

[save-through-mercy]

“... Well. If... If you ever... need anything. From your old man. You know where to find me...” he said hopefully, dropping another treat in Kris’ bag.

They nodded again, a little softer this time.

Asgore’s tone softened.

“Oh. I... Of course they are...”

He should have guessed...

… Kris barely managed to nod.

They certainly hoped not…

Susie moved in front of them again.

“I don’t care how big and strong your dad is! I can take him!”

“Susie…”

Really, Asgore never meant any harm. He was just a bit… overenthusiastic. And a bit forgetful when it came to others’ personal space requirements. Not at all malicious or entitled…

[save-through-mercy]

Asgore had to tilt his head down a bit to see out of his improvised mask... but when he spoke, the smile was apparent in his tone.

“Good evening, little one! And Happy Halloween...!”

He plucked up a clearly homemade rice crispy pumpkin wrapped in plastic, dropping it into their bag.

Kidding or not, Kris was still obviously nervous...

Ralsei offered them a little smile.

“It’ll be alright...! You’ll see.”

They didn’t have a strong opinion on mints… but they would never turn down chocolate.

They nodded softly, lifting their bag clear of the comforter.

They dropped in a mint, daintily wrapped in silver foil. It was the kind that you might find waiting on your pillow in a fancy hotel.

“Enjoy.”

Kris nodded gratefully, stepping back to let their friends take their turns.

[save-through-mercy]

Right...

Kris hesitated again, the small bit of a good mood they’d managed to work up threatening to disappear.

Of course, Noelle, Ralsei, and Frisk all took care to be polite to him and the Swatchlings in turn.

Frisk shook their head.

… Asriel sighed.

“You’re too determined for your own good…” he grumbled.

Chara grabbed their hand.

“Let’s just go find you a replacement for that candy bar.”

Frisk shrugged, allowing their sibling to pull them along.

They wouldn’t miss it. But they hoped it made a difference to Spamton…

[save-through-mercy]

Kris nodded briefly to Swatch, feeling slightly more like themself now. Though it was a little easier to relax when you were fairly sure the person in front of you didn’t care much about you in particular than any other person.

Of course, Frisk listened politely to each one. Asriel was constantly dragging them on...
