Waterfall II - In Which Papyrus Sucks at Lying

A/N: Monster "Kid" is aged up here. Referring to him as just "monster" might get a bit tiring, though... any name suggestions?

--------------

Frisky emerged from the tall grass and sighed, relieved that the knight was gone. The noise of the tall grass shifting behind him made him look backwards again.

A short dinosaur-looking monster emerged from the grass. He wore a striped one-piece... robe? Dress? and an expression of wonder.

"Man! Isn't Nokyel just the best?!" he exclaimed. "He's, like, my favorite person EVER, dude." Frisky tried to speak up but the monster continued talking. "You're out here cuz of him too, right? Cool! We can stick together! C'mon, this way!"

Too eager for his own good, the monster tripped and fell onto the floor. Frisky cringed. "Uh, are you oka-" The human's speech was cut off and he blushed as he realized the monster's backside was fully visible.

The latter quickly regained his footing, seemingly unbothered, and continued forward into the dark caverns.

Frisky followed slowly, taking the time to admire his surroundings. The water seemed to glow, reflecting the shine of the crystals and gemstones along the walls. His serene thoughts were abruptly interrupted by Papyrus's very loud and very obnoxious ringtone.

He frantically pulled it out of his pocket, dropped it on accident, and then finally managed to pick it up again. If the Knight hadn't known where he was before, they probably did now.

"HELLO, HUMAN! IT IS I, PAPYRUS. SINCE OUR LAST INTERACTION, AN... INTERESTING SITUATION HAS PRESENTED ITSELF. A FRIEND OF MINE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE WEARING."

"What would you want me to wear?~" Frisky said seductively. He could hear Papyrus coughing loudly through the phone. "But, uh, right now? My usual outfit, I think, and a..." he looked down at his clothes. He was wearing a bandana he'd gotten in Snowdic, but... could he trust Papyrus with that information?

"...just my normal outfit," he said, choosing to omit the bandana from his description.

"VERY WELL. THANK YOU, AND HAVE A NICE... ER, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS. GOODBYE!" Papyrus hung up and Frisky put the phone back into his pocket. Part of him felt bad for lying to Papyrus- for as sex-focused as he was, he was still pretty innocent- but he wasn't willing to risk it.

Now that he thought about it, though, just the description of his regular outfit would probably be enough to spot him. His purple and blue striped shirt didn't exactly blend in. He probably should have said he was wearing a coat or something.
