"well ink is going to be coming here in, oh about two days. this AU is going to collapse in 13 days due to apophis' presence here."
--------
"well I shall be going now." attio says as he gones away.

Silence hopped down from his ledge and tossed a couple golden strings at Attio, warpping around his arm and gently tugging, as if asking him not to leave yet.
Vantablack, while certainally not in a fine mood at the moment, stood back and decided not to interfere for now.
---
"....Excuse me?" Papyrus asked, lifting a brow in alarm. "As bad as that sounds, you're telling me Ink's involved?"

"if you want me to stay, I guess I can spare a few days."
------
"yes. he is. also, things may happen to your brother that have already happened a long time ago," currence says "such as blue getting stuck in the anti-void again." he mutterers.

Silence nodded once and gestured behind him, letting the strings slacken and fall off. After shooting Vantabalck a brief glare, he turned to walk off, glancing back to make sure Attio was following him.
---
"Uh, what was that last bit? Didn't quite catch it." Blue asked.
Papyrus muttered something under his breath, seeming rather displeased with all of this.

attio shrugs and follows silence.
-------
"nothing. I said nothing." currence covers up.

Blue didn't press the matter further. "Alright! I gotta restock my inventory, but I'll meet you back here!" He chimed before running off.
Papyrus glanced at Currence. "Yo? I gotta tell you something."
---
After a bit of walking on foot, Silence opened a portal and gestured inside.

"sure, what is it?"
------
attio walks through the portal.

Papyrus leaned over the table and grabbed a hold of Currence's shirt collar. "Look." He said in a low voice, a bright orange light blazing from within his eyesocket. "If anything bad happens to my brother, you answer to me, capiche?" He growled.
---
Silence closed the portal behind him and looked around the Dreamvoid briefly before tugging down his hood. "Thank you for coming on such short notice." He spoke, voice soft yet clear and direct.

"that is okay, i'm used to that." attio responds.
-----
"well, I try to keep him alive and safe. however, this isn't safe. he's been warned, so don't be surprised if he is missing a arm or leg."

Papyrus gritted his teeth, but digressed, realeasing Currence and sliding back down into his seat. "Do whatever you can, alright?"
---
Silence nodded briefly, then sat down, gesturing for Attio to do the same. "I understand you wouldn't answer Vantablack, but would you be comfortable with answering a few questions from myself? It's strange to have somebody new here."
