"Fell!" Sci yelled upon seeing Powder take damage; the skeleton in question was now half-conscious, but I assumed he would wake too soon for restraints to be a wise decision. 

"Well, Powder's out of commission for a while." I sighed. "Dream, get ready to prevent an outburst if Dust happens to dislike his current situation, please." 

"I'm on it." Dream nodded.

"The brat deserved it." Fell scoffed.

"He was trying to be your friend!" Blue argued. 

"I don't want friends!"

"Powder couldn't help that!"

"Whatever.."

"I think he's coming to.." Sci stepped away from the bed that Po-Dust was lying on.

With that statement, everyone immediately quieted and looked toward the skeleton that was slowly regaining consciousness. Honestly, I was wondering what Dust's reaction to waking up in stripes in a pastel room being faced by those he likely considered to be enemies would be; it probably wouldn't be good, but I truly couldn't bring myself to care until it happened. When we were all at a safe distance from the bed, we watched as the skeleton on it groaned slightly, muttering something about hurting; it was likely the pressure from the soul bind. Dust yawned before slowly opening his eyesockets, giving a confused sound when he was assaulted by light pastel colors. He pulled his hood over his eyesockets as he slowly woke before freezing in place; he lifted the hood slightly, finding himself looking at our group.

"I..am too tired to deal with this.." He turned over, likely to try to go to sleep.

"No way!" I shouted, causing him to flinch at the volume. "We're gonna question you!"

"Can I be questioned after I get a full night's sleep? I feel like I just got run over by a steamroller..or maybe I did.." 

"Not a chance; more tired means less resistance." I had good reasoning. "Tell us about soul binds."

The skeleton before us stopped any and all motion before turning to us with a fearful expression. 

"H-how do you know that term?" He seemed afraid of it.

"You don't remember?"

"What did you do to me?!" He growled, glaring harshly at me.

"Uh..well, Dream..it was was an experiment, and you were our subject."

"T-tell me..you didn't.." He seemed desperate. 

"We did." I felt no reason to lie.

With that said, Dust bowed his skull and became strangely..docile?

"Why would you do that?" He questioned, after a minute.
