Ink waves at them, hand having ketchup and cheese on it. He swallows and puts his burger down.

"It's... Complicated. I had stayed the night and well... Some things happened. That I personally don't want to talk about." Ink mutters. He instantly brightens up, not at all bothered by the group. "Anyways. Nice meeting you all but I'm going back to my burger."

And as he said, he finished his burger and focused on his fries, only stopping to dip them into some sauce before promptly shoving them into his mouth.

If there was one thing, this group got it: personal stuff happened, and not everyone wanted to talk about it.

"No one ever said we wanted to hear it," Nightmare said.

More so his way of saying that if it wanted to be revealed then it would, Though he could get a sense that it was bad, from the emotional aura that Error and Ink were giving off. He was always good at picking up on when monsters were going through negative emotions, even when hiding it, his brother was good with the positive.

"Y-yeah, well now we're roommates S-so thought w-we would c-celebrate, and l-let all you losers know," Error said leaning back, no one really being affected at being called a loser.

Though Horror was somewhat eyeing the food that the new Skeleton was eating, He never had much in the way of food growing up, often having to go hungry. But Before he could try snatching the food, Blue put a Taco in his hand with a grin and kiss on his cheekbone.

"Really? Well, maybe this place will finally get some life to it...Oh, what episode is this one?" Blue asked after noticing that undernovelia was on and he took a seat on the arm of the couch next to Ink.

Ink finishes his fries. "Curse you mom and dad for never letting me live." Ink groans before getting up to go get the two puppets of him and Error.

Once back, he sits back down. "Hey, Erri, is my cheek swollen? Cause it feels kinda like it is." He looks at Error.

Error shifts his eye lights over to Ink's face and squints a little".....maybe ..."

"Error, use your glasses ..we all know you need them," Killer says with a chuckle. Really, someone asking Error to take a look at something, they should expect him not to actually be able to see

Error rolled his eye lights and put his glasses on with a frown. Taking a look at Ink's face. "I-its a little red...d-do you w-want some ice?" he asked.

"Yeah... It still hurts." Ink says. He looks at the white walls.

His eyes stay focused on it for a moment. Quickly averting his eyes, he tries to focus on anything else. He holds the puppets tight. Of course, he was bound to eventually make the mistake of looking at the white for a second too long. And in front of others.

"I'm going to the guest room." Ink says quickly before getting up and rushing away, accidentally slamming the door.

Error gets up and gets a dish towel to put the ice in when ink says he needs to leave, he could only guess it was the walls, he would have to fix that soon.

"He okay?" horror asked in-between bites of the taco.

Nightmare noticed a spike in fear just before Ink left "something scared him...his aura was similar to Error's when he's scared he might be touched."

Error gave a sigh " Yeah, he doesn't like white...p-probably was looking a-at the walls just a l-little too long..." He said and went to the guest room and knocked. "I got your ice, Ink...a-and take your time i-in here."

Ink opens the door. "S-sorry... It started, and I d-don't want to be around others for the inevitable panic attack..."

The smaller takes it with a weak smile before gently closing the door again. He lays on the bed and curls up, ice resting under his cheek and puppets clutched to his chest. Within seconds, he breaks down, and he manages to keep quiet. Error understood and was not going to force ink out if he couldn't handle it right now. He simply went back, reassured everyone that Ink would be okay, and like what normally happens when his friends are over, went to watch TV.

"THAT'S IT!" blue said smiling and jumping up and going to the coat closet knowing that there was something he could use. Yes! He pulled out one of the throws Error made. "Error you can hang this on the wall for now. That should help Ink" he said grinning

Everyone there blinked at him. Sure that could work, it wouldn't cover the whole wall, but Error could try. " For a quick fix, it might work"

After a bit, Ink leaves the room, his face blank, and his white eye lights. He finds a place to sit and stares at the TV.

Ink doesn't speak but does keep the ice on his cheek. He at least made it past the normal reaction. Had Ink come out sooner he would have seen a somewhat funny sight of Blue on Horror's shoulders, and Killer on Dust's trying to hang up the cloth to cover the whiteness. with Error and Nightmare watching their friends like they're idiots.

Though it was put up successfully. Error also has a feeling that Ink wouldn't want anyone to see him when he shuts off his emotions so once again it was just the two of them in the apartment. His eye lights looked over to Ink to make sure he was alright.

"Y-you okay?" he asked though he guessed that Ink only needed to rest his emotions for a bit.

"I got through it, so I'll be okay. The last two days had... Made it worse than normal, with how much had happened, though." Inks replies softly.

Error is right in the smaller skeleton needing to rest his emotions. He had a bad episode compared to normal.

"I take it they all left?" Ink asks.

A lot did happen so Error couldn't exactly blame Ink for needing a break. He nodded though "Y-yeah. Thought you w-wouldn't want a-anyone e-else seeing you like t-this," he said since he didn't mind it, Ink had a blank look, but Ink didn't really know his friends well so he wouldn't force Ink to have to explain what they were seeing if he didn't want to.

"T-they did put that u-up on the w-wall though...J-just till w-we can change t-to another c-color," he said pointing to the not-so-empty wall, though Error didn't know how well it would work it would be a good short term he hoped.

Ink nods, "Thank you. It's not something I like talking about."

Especially to people he didn't know well, rather than trusting. He had nothing against Error's friends. He hates his episodes with a burning passion.

"You'll have to thank them for me. Since my phone is broken and stuff." Ink says.

That's right, error forgot that ink broke his phone, though he couldn't exactly blame him he would have done worse. "I w-will...we can g-get you a new p-phone to o-one day...once y-your up for going out"

Error wouldn't make Ink go out like this, he would let him rest till he feels more like himself.

Ink curls up and hugs the puppets. "Okay." Ink mutters as he closes his eyes, relaxing. He was already starting to feel better, which is a record. It would typically take two or more days for him to recover.

"I should be okay by tomorrow." Ink says, taking out a small journal. He writes in it and puts it down.

Error didn't mind if it took ink more than a day, he was not going to go anywhere, and it's not like ink could help it. "If you need l-longer that's fine. Y-you can't help it " all he can do is be there for ink, though he couldn't do much outside of letting the artist know that he's not going to think any differently about him that was better than nothing.

It's not like he didn't have his own issues, so error knew he couldn't give others a hard time for theirs.

Ink smiles at Error, "Thank you." Ink sinks back into the couch and nearly falls asleep right then and there, completely exhausted. "I'm going to take a nap now." He had nothing left to deal with for the day.

"ha, I m-might do the same...it's b-been a long two days..." Error said since he was starting to feel the events catch up to him as well.

Or it could be he was in a comfy bean bag and actually felt safe around Ink, which apparently had not left after all those years ago. So Error felt like it was alright for him to drift off and fall asleep. Ink lays down, balling up his scarf and using it as a pillow. He falls into a light sleep, feeling at ease around the glitchy skeleton.

Error had fallen asleep and forgot that he could have nightmares sometimes. Mostly they were of him crashing and never being able to recover or just being alone where everyone disappears.
