"That was weird, right?" Deerly said looking at Error, who still stood by the table looking at the door, "What happened?" Deerly was a deer centaur monster who worked with Error at the register, they got along for the most part, but Error wouldn't call her a best friend, just a work buddy.
"I don't know, but he looked freaked out." Error said walking to the register, where Deerly was.
"You think he's okay?" Deerly asked.
"I don't know, but don't tell anyone it's none of our business." Error said walking to the back.
"Aw, Error I didn't know you cared." Deerly said teasingly.
"Deerly." Error said turning to her giving her a warning glare.
"Okay, I guess your right. He's probably just late for his job, or to torment other people with his obnoxious comments." She said ignoring Errors glare, Error shrugged and walked through the door to the break area, with Deerly following close behind.
"-to get your mind off that." Blue said as he came out of his office talking on the phone, then shortly hanging up. "Error I need you to deliver a order to, 254 Furbow Street, Zacatary." Blue said taking the already packed order from one of the pastry makers.
"Uh, Blue I'm not a delivery boy, I'm a waiter." Error said unimpressed.
"I know that Error but our delivery boy called in sick today, please deliver the order and you can have the day off."
"Right'o boss, what's the orders name under?" Error said with little to no hesitation, and visibly brightening at the chance to leave work early.
"Ink Comyet."
"No, nevermind I'll suffer here." Error quickly replied without hesitation.
"Error!" Deerly whispered harshly, elbowing him in the side.
"Fine, but I get the rest of today and tomorrow off." Error said with a groan.
"Deal!" Blue said cheerily.
"Okay, now where's the delivery bike?"
"Have you been living under a rock? We don't have a delivery bike." Deerly said looking at Error slightly amused.
"Wait then how do I deliver the order?" Error said confusion written on his face.
"You take my car." A unknown voice answered. Error jumped visibly at the sound of the voice behind him, and quickly spun around, but his suspicions were conformed when he seen who was behind him. Horror. He was a visibly scary monster, but not only because of the large hole in his head, but because of his height; he towers over everyone by a few feet, it felt like the guy could accidentally step on you and not notice.
"And I'll be going with you." Horror added.
"Uh, no thanks I'll be just fine on my own Horror." Error said meekly.
"Sorry Error but he has to go with you, it's his car and we use the buddy system." Blue said innocently, not noticing how uncomfortable Error was about the idea.
"So um, nice car?" Error said meekly, uncomfortable with the silence that hung over them since they got into the car. Horror didn't respond and seemed eerily focused on the road, or on something else, which made Error wonder if Horror was planning on how to kill him and where to hide his dust. He came to his senses after spacing out. Error didn't know why he was making up such assumptions, Horror hadn't made a move to hurt him. So why was he so scared? It might've probably had to do with the silent predatory vibe he gave off, but none the less Error grew even more visibly nervous at his previous though.
"Sorry if I make you uncomfortable, I'm aware of the," Horror paused, thinking about his next words, "affect I have on people." Error looked up at Horror sheepishly.
"Was it that obvious?" Error asked meekly shrinking as Horror glanced at him, before the taller turned back to focus on the road.
"A little." Horror said holding the steering wheel tighter in his grip. "Dust usually delivers with me, he's the only one comfortable with me." Horror finished with a sigh.
Error looked down to his lap in guilt and sympathy, Horror was just a teddy bear; a big frightening teddy bear to be fair, but a teddy bear none the less. He and everyone else had misjudged him. He'd done nothing to wrong to deserve this, they were all judging him based on his appearance. What was the saying? "Don't judge a book by its cover?" Error feeling even worse with the realization, decided to befriend the imitating monster.
"Well I guess there is a reason for the saying, never judge a book by it's cover." Error said with a small grin, and from the corner of his eye socket he saw Horror's face light up with a smile.
