You woke up while it was still 'dark'. You didn't wake the boys and instead, got ready. You put on you hat, duster, gloves, etc, hiding yourself from the world. You made sure the boys were well hidden to before you picked them up and started to Grillby's. Your tail twitched nervously. You were getting a job. You were semi trusting this Grillby monster with your boys. So long as he didn't ask about anything or made you take off your hat and duster, you'd be fine.

Grillby was unlocking the bar when you came up with the boys. "You actually came! Welcome, miss..."
"[Y/N].." You replied wearily. "Grillby. It's nice to meet you." He was about to put out his hand for you to shake, but remembered that you were carrying the boys. "Um. Right. I'm sorry. Let's head inside. He let you go in first. "You can put them on the couch. They can rest there." You did so, making sure they were comfortable. "Grillby took off his coat. "Are you willing to take off-"
"No. The coat and hat stay on." He nodded. "Ok then. That's fine." He didn't push it. "We have plenty of time before I open up. Are you hungry?" What was he trying to get at? "Why are you being so.." She trailed off. "What do you have to gain?" Grillby looked completely baffled. "You think I'm trying to gain something?"
"Why else are you acting so frustratingly friendly?" You stared at him intensely. After a minute, he answered in a simple, calm manner. "I'm simply a monster who enjoys helping other monsters. That is all. Nothing to gain, other than your friendship." You were at a loss. Friendship?

🔥🔥🔥

Your stomach had spoken for you, so now you waited on the couch with the boys. Weren't you supposed to be working? Wasn't there anything you could do? You fidgeted with anything you could find. First you brushed out your tail, then you adjusted your gloves, then your coat, then your hat. You checked on the boys. You checked your surroundings. You- "You're quite active. Want to take the chairs off the tables while you wait?" You glanced at the boys then nodded. He led you to the door leading into the bar. "Come back in here when you're and breakfast should be ready." He left you to the job. You checked your surroundings again, before getting to work. You'd even found a rag and spray to wipe everything down. After that you went back to the back. The boys were up and eating, Papyrus oatmeal, and Sans pancakes. Grillby was dinning with them. The last plate, you could only assume, was yours. "Good morning." You greeted promptly, sitting in between the brothers. "morning [Y/N]."
"NYEH!"
"Good morning." Grillby got up. "If you'll excuse me, I still have thing to get done as well." He left you with the boys.

Grillby

My.. for a fox monster living in the woods, she'd sure cleaned this place up well. Wiped down the tables, bar, and even that old jukebox that don't work. I had questions. I did. Why was she so mistrustful? Why did she want to hide her appearance? It seemed she wanted the boys to as well. Why do they live in the forest? Why is she raising skeleton children? Did she kidnap them or something? I shook my head. She didn't come off as a criminal type. Stealing trash was probably the most she'd done. Then yet.. foxes were known for their trickery. Only time would tell if there was more to her than meets the eye. They boys seemed to like her, adore her even. I shook my head and flipped the sign. Time and patience was all I needed. She'd open up eventually.

You

You started serving customers, per Grillby's request. Many were startled to you working here, apparently he'd never had a worker before, it's always just been him. That made you even more uncertain and distrustful. 'Why me then?' Customers seemed to respond well to a smile and a tail wag. That you could do. "How may I help you today?"
"Bark bark!"
"Burger with bacon, can do sir." The canines found it relieving that Grillby had you working for him since you understood dog. You went to the bartender. "Buger with bacon."
"Man the bar for me." Alarm ran through you. "Man the- what do I do? I can't mix drinks!" He smiled. "I am confident you can do it." You whimpered. "Why.." She sighed there was only one way to understand what to do. She brushed her gloves against the kegs. Oh.. was that all?
