At first, they're quiet. They avert their gaze. What can they say to that? They're a good pretend optimist... to a degree, but they aren't Papyrus.

"And you're saying there's no way to make you feel even mildly content? 'Cause if that's what you're saying, then... challenge accepted."

Okay, no. That was stupid. They are probably going to regret that, especially because of that nosiness comment. Oh well. Too late to turn back now.

"It sure beats wandering aimlessly around some mystery dimension, anyway."

Honestly, they fully expect more of the cold shoulder. But... well. At least they haven't broken out the flirting. Yet.
