Speak.

[Wow okay cool voicemail there Chara. Voice/text/video away to your heart's content.]

[Max laughs along, and lets Chara take the pie without any objection. Good. That's the Chara she knows. And they're going to eat it.

She honestly feels like she helped... and that makes her smile.]

Anyway I'm off. Lemme know whenever you want flaming red hair, okay? [No, not literally flaming, Chara.] And share the pie with Frisk if they come around.

[fulllifeconsequences]

I will. We share everything.

[Funny how true that's become. They share so much more now than they ever did back when they had to share a body with Frisk. They cradle the pie like it's fragile, take a step back into their room.]

Max...

[They clear their throat. Avert their eyes.]

Thanks. I'll - I'll name a Pokemon after you.

[Max pauses halfway between turning to leave and looks at Chara with obvious surprise. That's... hard to react to. She feels her face wanting to break into a big and easy smile, but it's drowned out by all the awkwardness.

Chara's own step backward is mirrored as Max takes a step back into the hallway and rubs her cheekbone with a fingertip.]

Y-yeah, sure. Just... nothing fairy type, okay? And if it's a Magikarp you better evolve it.
