...

[... that lack of answer says a lot. Hmm.

Flowey doesn't know what to say.]

... what a bunch of weirdos. Stars are cool! Monsters used to make wishes on the fake 'stars' we had on the cavern ceiling.

[Siffrin would've liked it there, maybe. They would've had fun teaching echo flowers stupid puns. (Ugh, they would've gotten along with Sans.)

... He wonders what Siffrin's soul would have looked like, had they existed in his world. Maybe a shining red, too.]

Let's turn back. I'm running out of space on the paper.

[A shudder runs down Siffrin's spine at the word 'wishes,' and for a moment, they're thinking -]

[...no, it's fine.]

[But... fake stars(?) must not be the right way to wish. If Flowey's monsters had been able to get any granted, he wouldn't be using it as a nice example, and he does seem to be trying to be nice. Right now, Siffrin thinks they might understand a little more what Emporio, and Shoka, and others, see in him...]

[...]

Everyone should get to see real stars. [Is that a roundabout way of saying they're glad Flowey got to...?] They are cool.

[There's a very clear moment where Siffrin swallows another pun. They are trying so hard. It's reflex!! But when they've had the second or two to rein it in, they nod - sounds fine! It looks like Flowey's got a good amount sketched down.]

[After another moment, they crouch down slightly. They hesitate, then offer:] Um. If you want a ride out...?

[They're a little bit tense about it, but they do mean it. Flowey seemed to like doing stuff like riding in the cart and directing people - Siffrin's pretty sure they remember seeing him ride on someone else's back before, too. And hopping along like that must be tiring. So... so as long as they're getting along... physical contact is still touchy (heh) for Siffrin, but they don't mind being told where to go!]

imagining siffrinx using "aww you do care" to mock flowey later

[friendlyflower]

Aww, you do care!

[He cannot accept sincere kindness without being a little bit of a dick about it. After all, being pitied for having to hop around is kind of humiliating.

He almost refuses out of principle, but he is pretty tired... and he does like riding on people's backs. After a moment of deliberation, he hops on Siffrin's back. There's a very weird moment where they feel his roots and vines creeping across them to secure him on.]

Onward, my loyal steed! [He remembers the way out, so he'll guide them. He's assuming they forgot.]
