Chapter 5| More confusion

" What do you think about Error? "

Mutt paused before he tilted his head. " You mean, The Destroyer? Why the sudden interest, My Lord? " he asked. However, when Razz gave him an intense look, he sighed. He doesn't understand why his little brother suddenly asked him the unexpected question, yet if it's able to calm his temper right now, he might answer him truthfully.

" What I think about Error, ha? Well, I guess he's strong. I can't deny that fact. If there's a situation where he was in front of me, the first thing I will do is to contact Ink. He is the only one who can rival with Error. Truthfully, when Ink requested us to fight him together, I'm kind of hesitated to join it. I'm afraid for the both of us " Mutt came nearer to Razz until there's only a step between him and Razz. " I'm afraid to lose you, Sans " He called his brother's name -his real name- showing how serious he is.

Razz stare at him silently before he asked. " Then, why did you agree? "

" ... I decided to join the ambush since I'm thinking about the future" Mutt crouched in front of Razz, making their eyes on the same level. Razz mouth mimicked his word. "Future? " he asked softly. " Yes, the future. A future without Error. If we're able to defeat him, then the Multiverse won't be destroyed anymore. Our universe won't ever be gone. You will stay alive " he answered while he looked at Razz fondly.

Razz put his hand under his chin, thinking about something. Mutt waited for Razz silently, preparing himself for the next question from his little brother. He will let Razz ask him anything, and he will just answer it honestly until it's able to satisfied Razz's curiosity. After several seconds, the little skeleton decided to ask his question.

" ... So, you afraid that Error will destroy us. And you think that Error won't hesitate to kill us if he wants to? "

" Yes "

" ... What if he didn't want to kill us? " The sudden question made Mutt blinked his eyes a few times before he looked at Razz with a puzzled face. " Why did you ask that, My Lord? "

Razz turned his body so that his back facing Mutt before he paced up and down in front of his brother. Mutt can't quite catch what his little brother murmured.

" Error is merciless, right? Then, why did he..... he should be....yet... " For every second the time ticked, Razz's breath became quicker. Mutt became worried with his sibling. He can hear the edge in his tone when he was murmuring and his magic was sparked slightly in the room. Mutt's hands tried to grasp Razz's arm, yet he hesitated. He's afraid that Razz might suddenly lash out without warning if he disturbs his monologue. He needs to do something! He needs to fix this problem before it becomes worst! So, he does the safest way to get a response from Razz which is using his words.

" My Lord, what's wrong? "

" Everything! " Mutt flinched when Razz suddenly turned his body and growled at him. The small skeleton gritted his teeth when he realized that he made his brother afraid of him- again. Razz tried to calm his temper by following what Blueberry have taught him- breathe. There's only silence between them before Mutt decided to ask.

" Please tell me, My Lord. What happened? "

Mutt waited for him for a few seconds until he almost gives up. Maybe Razz didn't want to tell him, he thought. It's okay, he can ask him another time. A sigh escaped from his mouth before he stood up. " If you don't want to tell me, it's okay. I won't force you. Just know that I'll be beside you " Mutt turned his body and walked toward the door ( the damaged door. Great. He hoped that Razz won't mad at him after this).

" Blueberry sends his regard to you. He's worried about you, ya' know. He said that if you want to call him, he- "

" We should be dead where we stand right now, Papyrus "
