Shaking his head, Blue returned to his spot, making it look as though nothing were out of the ordinary just as Alphys came into view. It wasn’t uncommon for the head of the Royal Guard to make her rounds to all the posts to make sure everyone, or almost everyone in Papyrus’ case, were doing their job and not slacking off. Blue was only glad Ink had gotten out of sight as the sight of Alphys with her hand on her axe appeared.<br/><br/>“Hey Alphys.” He greeted, playing it off as casually as he could. It had taken some getting used to at first having the head of the guard glaring down at him so, but if he wanted to prove he could make the team he had to be able to take it.<br/><br/>“No one here as you can see, no monster or human, well, apart from us.”<br/><br/>As Blue spoke to Alphys, Ink watched from the bushes. It was always so tempting to interact with the other residents of the different AUs, but he knew he couldn’t without causing problems. There had been a few cases here and there where he had been spotted by someone other than the Sans’, but every time he was just assumed to be the Sans for that realm fooling around. Sure it caused a little mix up and some creative explaining on their part, but it always gave Ink a little excitement.<br/><br/>With Blue though it was a little harder to pull off considering he was shorter than Ink, and Ink didn’t want to ruin the other skeleton’s chances of making it onto the Royal Guard eventually.<br/><br/>“Just talking to myself.” Blue said with a shrug, answering Alphys question. It wasn’t an entire lie, Ink being technically another Sans after all. “Anything I can help you with while you’re here?”
