...they didn't exactly think this through, because that requires getting closer. Right. Well. Okay. Right. They're not going to change their mind on this. They square their shoulders and step forward into the kitchen, taking the berries without touching his fingers and stowing them in their sleeve while stepping back to a distance closer to the door than him.
"Since when am I anything but the epitome of caution?"
The statement is accompanied by a birdlike twist of the head. The tone is more sharp and dry as desert sand than the playful it might have been with someone they knew better - but it carries the wryness of reference to the puppetry incident. No, Chara isn't careful, at all, not as much as they should be. Maybe red and yellow make orange.
He can always find other poisons, if poison was his intent, the oddities of the situation crystallising into a thought. In their brief meetings, he struck neither Chara or Frisk as the type to poison others, however (then again, how can anyone be sure anyone is as they seem?) Perhaps the effort of going out and getting more might be a little more time to consider. Especially if a short child has harvested the rest for their 'project'.
He could find things other than poisons, too, easily. Kitchens have a lot of sharp things in them. But he chose poison, and probably for a reason.
"You're too kind."
The words are sardonic, but there's a grain of truth to them. He really is, from what they've seen.
