They paced silently across the strip of light, stalking away and then back and then away again, hands folded behind their back.
Flowey watched them, just waiting.
Finally, they stopped, and looked at him. He shivered.
"So. You have worked out all the bugs, all the issues, all the problems."
"Yes."
They took another step towards him, and bent down in front of him. "And you are sure it will have the... desired affect, despite what happened in all the alpha and beta tests."
"Yes. I am."
They reached out to finger the newest petal in Flowey's crown, almost caressing the growth that had sprung up to replace the lost petal. "And you are sure that it will reach Sans, too."
He bobbed on his stem slightly. "Yes."
They pulled away, rising again. "And you are sure, absolutely sure, that it will work this time?"
"I-" Flowey hesitated. "I don't see how it could fail, but... I didn't see Sans coming last time, either-"
"Are you saying I should not trust you?"
"N-no! I- I'm just saying- that maybe, I don't have all the information, and- and it would be a good idea to have a backup plan? J-just in case...?"
They grinned down at him, laughing softly. "Yes. I suppose that might be a good idea. Do that. You can go."
Flowey nodded, and slipped under the ground to go think up a backup plan.
