The flinch that results is due to the unfamiliarity, not the clumsiness of the words. Frisk shifts their head enough to peer out under their hair--just Gaster-shaped, not somebody else suddenly in the room too.
The words' meaning...
Frisk lets them stay in the air. It's just words. It's not that reassuring. But Gaster's dying now and it's scary the first few times; compared to that, their worry isn't that much.
The castle's done worse to them on its own.
They breathe out, long and slow.
"Might fall 'sleep." A warning. Not that they think they really will, they're too tense now, but time for him to speak up if he wants them to go find their own bed.
