Sans doesn't hear Papyrus following behind him right away, too intent on his own goals and anxieties. But even he can't miss the rattling clatter that is a skeleton collapsing noisily to the floor. He doesn't properly register what the sound is, at first - just whirling around, knife half-raised, the blasters turning with him.
...and then full-body shock makes his hand let go of the knife. Sans almost scrambles to catch it, at first, but finally just lets it fall with its own noisy clatter to the tiled floor. He just stares at the other skeleton, feeling tears gathering in his eyesockets. Not as much emotion as he might have shown, once, but it's one thing on top of another and Papyrus will be able to hear him rattling faintly with the effort of keeping that emotion under control.
"hey, papyrus. it's, uh...k-kind of a long story." With his focus entirely shot, the blasters disappear, equally unregarded.

"hi. sorry. didn't mean to scare you."
