( Asriel's face lights up at her words. It's so familiar -- but, a good kind of familiar. He can't help but think of home. He never got to learn much about flowers from his Dad, but what he had to tell Asriel spoke volumes for him. Asgore may have been incredibly strong, but he was also gentle enough to make flowers grow even in a dark place like the Underground. )

Dad told me that, too. He was always really good at taking care of flowers...

( It was his strength that Asriel always admired -- but... it was how gentle he was that helped influence Asriel to be the person he was. )

Gosh, Ochako - you know a whole lot about flowers, huh? I never knew that flowers could get this big.

( She reaches to pat his head, and his face lights up - offering a warm smile in response. )

O-Oh, no -- uhm... I can pay for them. It's the least I can do after you took me here.
