A week had passed since Develyn started living with the Dreemurrs. He has yet to start school, but he was finding ways to educate himself. The day after Develyn arrived, Toriel was granted an emergency foster license over Develyn. As Develyn's future actions are unknown, rather to go back to his maternal grandparents, or bribe his paternal grandfather to take him back to Iceland, where he can live in a quiet village in the north. That was originally the case, but after spending a week in a different household where he's received the proper care, he can also consider staying with the Dreemurrs. 

Develyn has since stopped sleeping on the couch and has slept upstairs in Frisk and Asriel's room, where he shares a bed with Asriel. There are frequencies where Asriel's night terrors would wake Develyn up, but Develyn's rather soothing voice in the night can put Asriel back to sleep.

The next day, things were a bit different, as Develyn was gonna extend on his relations.

Develyn was the second to wake up as soon as dawn arrived. When he saw Frisk looking out the window, everything was different. She was no longer the cheery eight year old kid. Her eyes were a crimson red. Develyn didn't care what was going on, as went downstairs to eat breakfast. Down there he saw Toriel drinking tea.

"Oh, good morning, Develyn," greeted Toriel.

"'Morning, what is there to eat?" asked Develyn.

"There is cereal, and fruit that's about all I have," answered Toriel, as Develyn helped himself to an apple.

"Are you the only one up?" asked Toriel.

"No, Frisk is standing in the bedroom completely motionless looking out the window. I think there is something with her. it's just that I don't know," Develyn answered, doing a weird gesture where his pointer was pointed toward his head, he then soon did a circling motion with it, stating that Frisk is crazy. After he said that, Asriel came down the stairs.

"'Morning, I see Frisk might be the first one up?" Asriel asked.

"Yeah," replied Develyn.

"She did that yesterday as well. I'm starting to get a little concerned," Asriel explained as Frisk soon came down the stairs.

"Hi, sorry if I didn't come down sooner than expected," said Frisk.

"So, how'd you three sleep last night?" Toriel asked.

"I heard Asriel squirming in the middle of the night, safe to assume he had a nightmare," Develyn answered.

"Ehh," replied Asriel.

"Chara was being an idiot again," Frisk noted.

"Wait... what? What do you mean again?" Develyn asked.

"Its been occurring since we got to the surface," replied Frisk, "You may barely understand."

"Come on I'm just curious", said Develyn.

The exact moment after he said that Frisk slapped him. Develyn would then retaliated seconds after by yelling, "Gaan!" Frisk was knocked out cold.  "Don't frickin touch me. That happens," Develyn warned.

"Was there any reason why?" Toriel asked.

"Because she hit me! You know self defense is what most kids develop these days!" Develyn exclaimed. Frisk soon got up after Develyn finished his sentence.

"I'm sorry, Develyn. I should probably keep this person in control," Frisk apologized.

"It's fine, now you know what happens if someone tries to hurt me," Develyn replied, as he finished eating his apple.
