He walked in, a little nervous, he always tended to be nervous when he goes anyplace new, after all, he had no idea how many people might be there, though it was still early so hopefully not many, and Ink was excited about it, so he walked in after the artist. And looks around, though it's all a bit blurry. Thankfully, it was practically empty, with only a golden-eyed skeleton scolding Ink for disappearing and scaring the life out of him.
"Ink!? Where in the blazes were you!? You haven't shown up in the last three days!" Someone calls out from the counter. "Jeeze, Almost as bad as Nighty used to be. Disappearing for days without warning." The other sighs.
Ink has zero interest in the scolding that Dream was giving him, though. Error blinked, and once he placed the voice and who Ink's friend was he got nervous for different reasons.
"....T-this.... could be b-better...hi Dream," he said rubbing the back of his skull. "Ink you should have said t-that your a-acquaintance was nightmares brother," he said to the artist. He might have been able to prepare himself mentally had he known before.
Dream puts his hands on his hips as he looks at Error, "Error."
Ink noticed, "Why are you giving Erri that look?"
Dream crosses his arms, "I think he's a bad influence on Nighty."
"Pfft," Ink starts laughing, "Uh, no? He's a perfectly fine influence."
Dream reels, "How!?"
"He freed me from my parents and has been showing me everything I missed out on. Like a real burger!" Ink says happily. "And he's also my childhood friend."
Dream stares at Ink and sighs, "well, alright."
Error pouts and crosses his own arms "Not m-my fault the two of us get along." he huffs. He can't help that the two of them just were able to click. Dream couldn't help the frustration that peeked out. As if he wanted to be reminded about how bad his own relationship with Nightmare was. Behind Dream though, black goop crept up and took the form of Nightmare behind his brother
"He also WASN'T the one that just stood by and did NOTHING when I was getting bullied brother." nightmare pointed out.
Dream shrieks, definitely not used to it, "Don't do that! And I told you I didn't know that. You never told me anything! You still don't! How can I do something if you don't tell me? And it's not like I wanted to not be there to help you..."
Error was at this point used to nightmares goop powers, for a while it was constantly covering the purple eyes skeleton. Dream shrieks, definitely not used to it.
"Oh hi! I remember you! Kinda? Okay, not really." Ink rambles not even fazed by it, but strangely, the caffeine seems to have the side effect of shutting down his emotions slowly.
That was true, at the time nightmare didn't want to worry Dream with his own issues. "If I tell you then you might be considered an accomplice..." he said closing his eyes, "After all, I'm the one that's meant to be the 'evil' twin right?"
"A-also it's not like i-its was hidden that i-it was happening" Error pointed out. True, Nightmare might not have told dream it was happening, but then again, it had been known through high school that it was happening.
"I wouldn't have cared! You're my twin, and I never saw you that way." Dream says, turning away.
Nightmare blinked at his brother, just because he didn't see things that way never meant that everyone else did. "Yes...you would...you're too sensitive and try to find the good in everyone." it might be harsh, but he still wanted to keep his brother safe. Hence, he was trying now but still didn't tell his brother everything. "Anyway, I'll be gone for a few days...don't try and call or reach me."
