Hello, everyone!
[And to those who have yet to see a talking, walking skeleton, here you go.]
I wanted to first say good job to everyone who helped the villagers to safety! And also thank you to those who helped protect everyone! Everyone really did their best out there, and I think ALASTAIR will be very proud of us! I know I am. Hopefully now there can be attempts for real peace between the humans and the goblins!
[Although he doesn't agree exactly on the way everything went down, there's no point in bringing that up when he's trying to congratulate everyone.]
I do have another thing I wanted to ask, though.
[He rubs subconsciously at his wrist, and continues.]
I haven't heard from Koltira at all. I've tried calling him a few times, but he isn't answering his phone. So if anyone has seen him in the past few days, please let me know! I am worried about him.

But when you say "we," who do you mean?

I'll send my Servant Archer to search for him. He's good at this sort of thing.

[is he implying anything?? no, surely not.]
I think I'd rather just go myself. Thank you anyway!
video;
Yes. But he's not going to kill Koltira, too. Koltira is hardly the same as Michel.
Re: video;
Do you really feel that way?
Does Archer?
video;
—Well, if he'd even consider he could have friends, in any case. Still, he and Koltira are chummy companions if I ever saw them.
video;
[ That... actually helps her case, quite a bit. He'd hope Archer would have some restraint in possibly hurting someone he considers a friend. ]
... So Archer doesn't consider you a friend?
video;
Of course I'm his friend! I meant his only friend out of those who didn't already know him before we were brought into ALASTAIR!
video;
Of course!!
Well, if Archer's your friend, and Koltira's friend, then it only makes sense I make friends with him too! After all, we both care about the same people!

[He takes her seriously at that point, smiling genuinely.]
2/2
... I know he's hurt a lot of people. Are you okay?

I can't let anyone give up on him. He's not in a good place right now, and that's obvious, but... if you start giving up on even one person, you can give up on a lot more. And that's when really bad things happen.
Do you get why this is important?
no subject
I do, Papyrus.
And that's why I won't let you give up on him. I won't let you give up on him or give up on your own safety, and that's the difference. You aren't giving up on someone if you just go with the smartest, safest option for everyone involved, don't you see? You're ensuring they'll be saved.
If you put yourself in front of Koltira without preparing for it, he could kill you, and Koltira wouldn't want that. He would feel horrible, too. I'm thinking about how to bring the Koltira we know back without anyone suffering any more pain.
2/2 i lied but i'm done now

[ Sometimes, he doesn't think of his own safety. Okay, maybe more than sometimes- a lot of the time, really. It isn't that he's self-sacrificial... It's that he thinks he can handle situations more than maybe he really can. Strength wise, he's actually pretty strong, if he ever could muster up the mental strength to retaliate.
She's right though. If Koltira, in his altered state of mind, wound up hurting him (more), when he came to, he'd be very upset with himself, wouldn't he? And if this Archer guy really did have something of a friendship with Koltira, then...
Maybe he can trust Rin and Archer with this.
Papyrus rubs idly at his hands through his gloves. ]
Okay.
[He'll stay put. She's talked him out of it.]
...Take care of yourself too, alright??
no subject
she offers him a beaming smile. it's rare, coming from rin.]
Thank you for trusting me. I'll heal up quickly. Archer is taking good care of me.
