❛ What are you doing out here? ❜
Jeez! That voice out of nowhere- she’d practically jumped out of her skin! She had been in such a world of her own that it had taken her completely by surprise. So of course she had made the most undignified squeaking sound possible.
“It’s a free forest isn’t-… isn’t…”
Her words were lost in her throat as she turned to see this giant fish woman. Who the hell was that tall?! Was she about to be killed?! This is it, isn’t it?! She knew this day would come! Oh wow she looks so strong. She’d only come to the outskirts! That’s as far as she dared to go on her own, wasn’t that even safe?! Oh no she even has an eyepatch.
Was this some insanely jacked sharpedo, or something else? She had such an intense look in her eye.
“I… I mean… I was just… Foraging… There’s good supplies… out here…”
Undyne is used to people being scared of her on first sight, so she isn’t too surprised when the stranger yells out. It does make her even more concerned for why this person is out here, though.
Undyne has heard those spooky myths about the Mistwood, and of course she wants to go check out its denizens, but anyone else? Even on the outskirts, someone--especially someone so skittish--could easily be in danger.
She raises her hands as a peaceful gesture, trying to make clear that she means no harm. “Supplies you can’t buy in town?”
“Look--yeah, of course I can’t stop you from being here, but you’ve at least heard how dangerous it can be, right?”
