The monster had just left Chara to their own devices, continually polishing the same glass for a few minutes straight. He wasn’t necessarily caught off-guard solely by the fact that they had suddenly spoken up, as much as that combined with it being an attempt to make conversation rather than a request for more food. He came pretty close to jumping several meters into the air and latching onto the ceiling with his claws, but as it stood he just yelped and recoiled backwards.
“Oh! Uh. Sorry. I just. Sorry. I just kinda. Sorry.” He shook his head and exhaled sharply. ‘Sorry’ is an apology, not punctuation, Bepis. “It’s a long story! You know Jerry? I got him banned from the Burger Emporium, his dad was my landlord…Mettaton got blackmailed into lifting the ban and firing me. Grillby…basically gave me the job because he felt sorry for me.”
They don’t mind the excessive apologizing - even if it is a little annoying. But Chara listens to the monster, nodding their head a little as they move to take another bite of one of their fries. They make a face at the name Jerry, they had as much distaste for him as did everyone else. Not that they expressed it.
Unfortunately, they also have the displeasure of knowing about the emporium and aren’t very surprised with the other’s explanation. They hum and nod their head a little in understanding. “ I see, “ They begin quietly.
Chara can’t help but crack the slightest smile, “ Well .. I suppose working here has to be a bit better than that wretched place - even if it is out of pity. “ They could be a bit less blunt, but they’re not one for beating around the bush.
