Sans finds himself tilting his head back and further back, trying to imagine a human that tall. It's a little dizzying, actually. He finds that he can't really imagine it, except by imaging a human stretched to impossible proportions. So he's actually not that far off, even as he looks back at Lucas somewhat skeptically.
But any doubts are driven out of his head by virtue of the sheer oddity, at least from Sans' perspective, of that question.
"uh...wow." He laughs a little, eyesockets half-closing in thought. "it's been a while since anyone has thought to ask us that. i guess it kinda stopped mattering to us, after a while?" Papyrus had been content to take the lead in life, and Sans had been content to arrange things from behind the scenes. They'd both made life comfortable for one another in their own ways. "but, uh, papyrus was younger than me. gaster was older." He doesn't intend to imply anything by the use of "was", even if the implication the words convey is the accurate one anyway. Which could be a sign of progress, or just more denial. It's hard for even Sans to tell, most days. Maybe it's just that he doesn't have anything to hide from Lucas the way he might from Frisk or S-4.
Still, something about the look on Lucas' face is...familiar, or at least recognizable. As he settles back into his seat, Sans finds that he's equally helpless to stop himself asking: "though, uh, since you mentioned 'too'...you got an older brother waiting back home, kiddo?"
