FLOWEY'S WORDS FELL deaf under your ears, as the said figure only moved closer.
You went riggid as you finally saw the large person.
Andflowey, has long since dissappeared into the earth's skin out of instinctand general fear of her.
You gribbed on your bag and basket tighter. As the monster crept up toward you.
Her smile looked deceiveful, as if they still whereout for blood. Her dress was rather. . .dusty? Monsterdustperhaps? You could only assume for thebest, that it wasn't.
" Another human has fallen from thesurface? My, this is the secondth timetoday. Please, follow me. ", the said monster implied.
You didn't like this, you didn't like this at all.
{Time skip}
The monster known as toriel, you learned, wasn't as exactly bad as you thought she was?
For some reason, you almost felt a motherly aura around her.
You hesitated, but intertwined your hands together, like a child would with their mother.
Toriel only widened her eyes and smiled. Gently grabbing your hand.
You almost wanted to cry, it felt. . . So soft, so gentle. So similar to your own mother.
The said girl only pushed these toughts away, as you neared the building. Presumably the goat monster's house?
" Frisk! whe have a new child that fell down from the surface. ", Toriel called out from the living room.
You sat on a chair politely as you placed your handinto your lap.
Not long after, a child, maby from 9-11 years old came by. They looked rather nervous.
Their gaze landed onto you. For a second, their body language changedinto more of curiousity.
You gave a warm smile and waved at them, the waved back and approached you.
For a moment, they hesitated but tried something. The proceeded to use hand movements to communicate. Sign languageactually.
You blinked a bit and signed back, you had instances with mute/deaf patients, so for their sake, you learned the 'language'.
They seemed to form a relived smile. While a rather confused goat monster watched.
" Mrs.Toriel, I belive, Frisk may be mute. They communicated with me trough sign language. ", you calmly stated.
Some confusion wore off of the got monsters face with that explanation.
That'swhy they didn't exactly answer her questions.
And for thetime being, you where left to stay in thehouse with frisk while toriel was out hunting for snails? You weren't exactly sure.
But you had a nagging feeling it wasn't exactly the truth.
You stopped thinking about such trivial matters once again and focused your attention on the said mute child.
It turns out, frisk explained to you that they actually had selective mutism.
Themaincause of their distress was because of their poor family relationship and forced social interactions trough out their life time.
Causing in them experiencing extreme social anxiety. To the point they developed selective mutism. It hasn't been treated yet.
Thus, they began to doubt themselves and push to the path of the unspeakable.
. . .
Taking their own life by jumping down the hole from the mountain.
Frisk rather further explained that it was also deemed the mountain of suicides. Especiallytheyoung used to come.
You where left speechless. Come to think of it, it made sense. People inthat area where rather gloomy when talking aboutthemountain and the area around.
Without conciousness, your body acted on it's own and you gently placed a hand on their head. Gently stroking it.
The suddengesture surprised them, you later opted for them for a hug, and they appreciatively took it.
Burrowing themselves into the crook of your neck.
Yourealised something, frisk was a rathertouch starved child.
Whileyou both had your moment,someone has came back.
