Error brought Ink to the other Gaster's place, a tired smile in place as he knocked. Fell answered. "I swear to fuck if you hurt that Error guy, I'll rip out your spine- oh, hey Error. Did you get him?" Error gave a nod. ("he is gone. my brother and i took care of it.") "h-he is g-go-ne. m-my bro-th-ther an-d i t-oo-k c-ar-are of it-t." Fell glanced over to Ink who was staring at Error in surprise. With a sigh, he let them in. "We got company!" He yelled out to which B perked and Swap poked in from his place in the kitchen. "Oh Error, welcome back! I'm making dinner, if you and your friend would like some." Error might as well get used to this. They were just as stuck as everyone else. ("that would be much appreciated, thank you.") "th-at wou-ld be m-mu-ch app-rec-iat-ed, th-a-ank yo-u." Swap smiled and disappear back into the kitchen. ("mind if we join you, b?") "m-ind if w-e joi-n y-ou, b?" Ink was still kind of reeling. What was going on? "Not at all, in fact, I feel that you need to speak with him?" B didn't wait for an answer as he went upstairs. Great.

For awhile, the brother's were enveloped in silence. Ink didn't know what to say and Error didn't know how to say it. So he started knitting instead. He always has a pair of needles on him for situations like these. He started on a pair of socks, because why not, he was bored. "you still... create..?" Ink asked hesitantly. ("i never stopped.") "i-i ne-ve-r sto-ppe-d." Error replied. "... you called me brother earlier.." Ink mumbled, not wanting to get his hopes up. ("that is what we are, no? you are my big brother and i was a fool to say otherwise. ") "th-at is w-hat w-e ar-e, n-no? y-ou ar-e m-y b-ig bro-ther an-d i w-as a f-oo-l t-to sa-y oth-er-wis-e." Error looked at Ink, trying to hold back on his piling emotions. ("i'm sorry, kiki, i'm sorry for everything i've done. please, forgive me..") "i-m so-rr-y, k-iki, i-m sor-ry f-or ev-ery-th-ing i-ve do-ne. ple-ase, for-gi-ve me.." Ink did not try to hold his emotions as tears rolled freely from his sockets. "c-can i hug you..?" Error put his things to the side and nodded. Ink launched himself at his little brother and scooped him into his arms.

"i'm sorry! i'm sorry too, ruru!" Ink held tightly to his brother with Error doing the same. Ink became aware of his shoulder dampening, Error had to have been crying just as much as he was. ("i was so scared.. i thought.. i thought i was gonna..") "i-i w-a-s s-s-o s-ca-re-d.. i-i th-ou-ght... i-i th-ou-gh-t i w-as g-on-na.." Ink hugged Error tighter. "i wouldn't allow that, it didn't happen. we're ok now, ruru.." They sat like that for a good ten minutes just releasing pent up emotions. ("... let's.. start again... yeah? clean slate and all that..") "... l-et-s.. st-ar-t ag-ai-n... ye-ah? cl-ea-n sla-te a-nd al-l th-at.." Ink nodded. "i'd like that and i will do my best to not screw this up like i did before."
("not much to screw up down here, we're kinda trapped. but i will try not to screw up as well.") "n-ot mu-ch t-to scr-ew up d-own he-re, we-re ki-nd-a tra-pp-ed. bu-t i w-ill t-ry no-t t-o s-crew up a-as we-ll." Ink frowned and pulled away. "right... i can't believe i will never see dream or blue again.."
"Actually... there may be a way for you both to leave."
