living skyward

There have been lots of exciting changes in the castle all of a sudden. It got very cold and snowy (she'll have to go help her flowers get ready for bed in the garden), and it looks like Christmas! Ever since her friends in Luceti introduced her to the holiday, she's enjoyed it a lot. She'll have to get started on gifts for her friends as soon as she can!

But the biggest change in the castle is all the children who have come here. Many of them seem a little lonely and cold and a little scared. And so Grune has made it her mission to be sure all of them have warm food, a cosy place in front of the fireplace, and--if they want it--lots of hugs and kisses and kind words to help them feel better.

As for the adults? Well, it's important for them to feel good, too. She'll make sure to share all those nice things with them. Love is for everyone, not just children.

When Grune had first arrived at the castle, Sans had shown her a very fun room. In it, everything is made of candy that grows back when you eat it. There's something else inside the room, too, covered by a strange sort of slippery cloth, but Sans hadn't let her look at it. He'd said it was a surprise present for Frisk. To help him keep the present a surprise, she'd agreed not to look.

But after some time, the memory had faded, and so today, when she steps into the candy room, her curiosity is caught by the big object covered in cloth. (Had that always been there?)

Humming quietly, she steps forward and lifts the edge of the covering.



...Oh.

She pulls the cloth the rest of the way from the giant birdcage and opens the door. It takes some effort to make it move, but soon she can reach in and carefully take the bones from the cage.

At first, she begins to wrap them in the strange cloth, but--she doesn't really like the feel on her hands. It wouldn't be a very nice place to stay wrapped up in, she thinks. And so she leaves the room and instead brings down a curtain from a large bed. It's a faded red and feels much better.

She returns to the candy room and places the bones into that sheet instead. Then, with the remains wrapped up and cradled in her arms, she leaves the castle to find a good place for this person to rest. She only has her trowel to dig, so it's going to take her a long time, but that's all right. This is important.
