Frisk listens, pursing their lips. Even with Duchess, talking of owners sounds...suspect, even if cats do normally have that kind of thing. It seems wrong since she's not like the usual animals, just like it'd be weird to have someone claim they owned, say, Doggo. Even if he liked leashes.

Sans-Serif wasn't a pet, either. Except the people at the lab probably saw him as something even less. A thing. But they don't know how to say that, or really want to try. So they just amble along beside him, feeling protective.
