A bat monster covered in armor rushed over to her, hissing at Yumi before looking at her.

"My lady, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Travis."

"Is this woman bothering you?"

"Oh no, not at all!"

Yumi tilted her head. "Who's that?" she asked when she saw the fire bat.

"Oh, that is Travis, my guard."

"Yeah, the guard who's supposed to be with her at all times, miss."

"I wanted to stop and see the echo flowers.."

"We have matters of importance to discuss with the king..''

"I know. So what, he can wait."

"Huh..?" Yumi asked, growing increasingly confused as their conversation went on.

"My lady, we need to go immediately. We don't wish to keep him waiting, do we?"

Kiara sighed.

"..Good point, I suppose."

She got up from the grass.

"Your dress is all dirty!"

"Yeeeesss, it is?"

She brushed off her dress softly.

"What is going on?" Yumi asked, extremely lost.

"Miss Kiara over here was supposed to be at a meeting with King Asgore more than half an hour ago!"

"Oh dear, has it really been that long?"

"YES!"

"But why is she meeting King Asgore..?"

"That information is classified, and will remain classified until King Asgore hears it!"

"Come on, do you not think they deserve to hear it?"

"They don't need to know!"

"..." Yumi didn't say anything to respond to Travis and just sighed, "Never mind. You two can go."

Travis chuffed angrily.

"Good.. We need to be off immediately."

Kiara softly glared.

"Travis. Do not be rude to the locals."

"Aaahahah- ri-right- right- I'm sorry-"

"It's fine," she replied. "I want to get back to that waterfall anyway."

"Oh.. well, I do hope to see you again. You are quite the person to meet."

She smiled kindly as Travis took her hand softly

She smiled as well. "I hope to see you around as well," Yumi responded. She stood up. "Bye, then," she said and turned, walking towards the exit of that part of the cave

Kiara waved softly before her and Travis turned their backs to her, starting to walk off in the direction of Hotland.
