And you're welcome.

Did you have to practice being this annoying, or is it just a natural talent? [Ugh. That's the last time he offers to do something nice for Cedric the Irate. He tosses a few seeds Cedric's way and then stops to drink water droplets off of some grass-- as Sunkerns do.

All has been going according to plan so far, despite their personalities clashing. Now that they're at the top of this cliff, he pulls a ribbon to unroll a map and starts sketching away using a vine. He's wary of the fog rolling in, growing more dense.]

[It's been a while since Flowey was in fog like this. Long enough, in fact, that he's not prepared for the tricks it plays on the mind.

He stops ignoring Cedric again and turns around to him, more genuinely offended than Cedric has ever seen him.]

I don't know where you heard that name, but I'm not him anymore. That kid is dead. Did Siffrin put you up to this? Is this all some kind of sick joke?

[cedricthegreat]

[He fluffs up his feathers at the insult until they almost completely cover his face. This effort is likely the only reason he doesn't snap back and just begrudgingly pecks up the seeds like one of those dipping birds.

He loses his composure at that outburst, however, and opens his beak wide.]

What are you talking about, you miserable seedling?

[Wait a minute, he did not just-]

Oh, we're on that again, are we? Well go ahead, turn my name into another joke, I've heard all of them before!

[friendlyflower]

[The words distort before they reach him. Flowey is the joke here. Other voices seem to join the heckling, calling him by a name that nobody else should know, closing in from the fog.

Fog-- That's it. He manages to summon his energy and call forward a Sunny Day. They find themselves in a pocket without any fog surrounding them. For a moment, it's blissfully quiet.]

... Joke or not, I'm not laughing. [And Cedric only knows him as the 'miserable seedling'.] The fog is tricking us. We CAN'T fall for it.

[He realizes that he's quivering. He thought he was stronger than this. He's experienced the fog before-- but it's been some time, now.]
