This is my life

"Really? Because I heard an inordinate number of 'sleepyhead' or 'daydreamer' jokes as a young Monster myself. Perhaps human children do not enjoy a good pun?"

Oh my glob he's 100% serious.

[postictal]

He's got his teeth set together hard enough to hurt, but he manages not to say anything stupid or potentially offensive.

"I meant that I've heard that...way too much. There's a lotta puns you can make from the word 'Wright,' it turns out."

"Oh, now that you say it, I suppose you are right. Right, wrong, left, etcetera. Children can often be... cruel. In their treatment of other children. Seemingly to no purpose. Were these jokes made out of malice towards you?"

[postictal]

“Not by other kids,” he says dully. His interactions with kids his age were limited up until college, and by then one couldn’t exactly call them kids anymore. Legally, anyway. Developmentally, college students tend to be all over the place. “It’s fine. Don’t worry about it.”

"By adults, then? That is even crueler. I apologize for bringing up such difficult memories. It was not my intention."

Well this is awkward, Gorey.

"Do you... want another lemon shake-up?" Asgore asks. He's eaten all of his already.

[postictal]

You know what? He's fine not clarifying that. He's fine not explaining shit. He's pretty sure that's bound to only make this conversation worse and more unbearable and even more awkward, so he's good.

"...sure," he says instead, because that's simplest.

END?

And thus the tension was resolved the Dreemurr way. By not resolving anything and pretending that it was yet another very fine day.
