[The Gourgeist isn't as easily deterred. It takes a look at Kris's jaws and decides to play keepaway, aiming a Leech Seed at Kris instead. From the ground, Flowey's too weak to get up, but he looks up enough to shout a warning.]

Watch out!! [That's one of his favorite attacks. What a nasty trick.] Kris, fight back, you stubborn idiot!

[Even as he says it, he's sure that they're not going to.]

[There's no way they would see the seed coming—but they feel their body tense, ready to dodge.

... yet, they still hesitate. Because if they moved now, Flowey would be undefended.

Their feet stay rooted in place, making the split-second decision to try deflecting it instead. It doesn't go as planned. The seed latches onto their body, the only thing they have to block with, vines rapidly sprouting to dig into their fur. They can't even reach it with their teeth from this angle. Bad.

The Pumpkaboos on the sidelines laugh even harder. No way are they gonna lose to a bunch of clowns.]

Was that supposed to be an attack? I barely even felt it. [Is Taunting them going to help? Maybe?? If they can beat up the ringleader the smaller ghosts might leave, but they need to get the damn thing in biting-range first—and Kris is decidedly Not leaving Flowey to fend for himself.]

1/2

[Flowey doesn't clock the fact that Kris is waiting for it to get in Bite range-- he just thinks they're being stubborn. He grumbles to himself as the Leech Seeds take root in them. They're worse than golden flower seeds; they don't just stick, they plant themselves in you. That nastiness is why it's his favorite.

... Is it so painful for the enemies? He knew that on an intellectual level, but seeing Kris suffering from it is making him rethink a few things.

Well, if they want to play it that way, he can work with that. He'll beat them at their own game.

Shakily, Flowey manages to pick himself up. He has an idea. A stupid idea, but better than nothing.]

Hey!

2/2

... Why did the pumpkin stay home from school? Because he didn't feel so gourd!

[Dead silence. That was so darn STUPID, I need to reset so freaking bad, Flowey thinks. And then a Pumpkaboo laughs. If nothing else, Gourgeist is so perplexed that it doesn't attack.

Thanks, Toriel. (That was NOT one of Sans's. He'd rather die for real.)]
