Six months is incredibly young even for monsters. He's just been made to think and operate on a much older level. Occasionally, that doesn't work out so well.
Between the two of them, Frisk and Duchess both make use of two of the more reliable ways to calm Sans-Serif down when it doesn't. He slumps a little where he sits, the tension bleeding out of his bones, his arms falling more loosely around his chest. Head nudging in particular is especially welcome and familiar, and he can't help smiling just a little as the cat noses at him.
He also comes back to awareness enough to see how Frisk pets Duchess. Very, very carefully, Sans-Serif raises a hand and runs it along Duchess' back. He doesn't have experience petting dogs, or petting anything. So he'll definitely be more gentle than Frisk.
"okay. thank you." Now he just sounds a little worn out. "i'm sure you're a really good mother. you talk like the other me said mothers are supposed to talk."
