[Ban didn't hold any doubt in him that Papyrus was telling the truth. Papyrus had already shown a bit of wear, but it wasn't in his resolve. For such a happy guy, Papyrus took the sadder aspects of Ban with a measure of grace. After all--hadn't he rushed over to comfort him when he saw how bad he felt? Just like Meliodas. His Captain went through some pains to keep Ban active, knowing when the immortal was in a particularly bad move. He gave him missions and even fought with him to try and make him happy. It must have been difficult, knowing a friend was hurting, but not knowing how to fix it.]
