"THIS IS WEIRD, DREAM. SURELY YOU HAVE TO AGREE THIS IS ODD TIMING?"

Blue said bluntly when all his other words went in one metaphorical ear and out the other, sighing at the daze the Guardian was still in ever since they met the stranger when trying to locate the odd source of magic in the supposedly dead AU. They had all been expecting to see the Bad Sans causing some new kind of trouble in Dreamtale but none of them had expected to find a lone dishevelled skeleton monster wandering around.

Worryingly Ink had admitted to having no clue who they were or have any recollection of creating them, only having the name 'Sirius' to go from and the odd companion that the odd skeleton kept with them. He knew reasoning or trying to question Ink further was a lost cause, especially when the Creator had suddenly been lost in a creative frenzy after being 'inspired' by the meeting and didn't expect to see him for a week while he let all the creativity out in making more AU's.

It was sometimes exhausting being the more normal one in a group of overpowered skeletons that had more power in their fingertips then he had in his whole body but it was times like these when he realised he had the most important thing of all.

A far more mortal, logical and frankly down to earth view of things.

Ink was lost in creativity while Dream was clearly in some sort of spiral of trauma that they still refused to admit and staring creepily at Sirius from across the room.

Blue sighed deeply at the lacking social graces, it never more obvious at how out of touch his teammates were with real life then now, their prowess in battle was wonderful but social interaction was more of a flip of a coin.

"PLEASE STOP PLANNING THE DEMISE OF HIS PET. I THOUGHT WE WERE TRYING DIPLOMACY?"

He sighed tiredly when he heard the disturbing mutters Dream was letting off, it clear at times like these how Nightmare was Dreams twin and giving a rather scandalised tone at some of the language used.

"But its evil! Look at it! Even the eyes show pure malice!"

"...ITS A SQUIRREL"

"An evil squirrel. It's plotting my downfall, i can tell. I bet it's tricking poor Sirius as well and will lead him down a dark path. We have to protect his innocence!"

"HE IS A GROWN SKELETON. IM SURE HE CAN MAKE HIS OWN DECISIONS"

He wisely pulled back from the conversation when Dream began talking about 'corrupted apples given animal form' and 'having a second chance now', only needing to make the mistake once when he was dragged into an hour long rant that ended with tears on Dream's part.

He cursed his past self for not dragging Dream to a therapist as soon as he could, honestly pitying the newest monster who was now dragged into this mess called a team. It was how he was pulled into this, Ink apparently intrigued by his actions in the 'story' whatever that meant while Dream had grown attached unnaturally fast.

He didn't regret joining this mess of a team as he had grown to care for the monsters on it but they could also be an utter pain to deal with and he usually had to be the impulse control of the entire team, especially when Ink kept forgetting that he was suspicious of how true that was even the simplest things at times.
