[ Since the City seemed to be back to normal again or at least it was whole once more, Will had decided to come out of hiding. He'd been held up in his apartment, eating very little and trying not to exert much energy. He'd never really been all that good at fighting, so he left hunting monsters to Hannibal. Now that he had access to the other side of the City, Will had spent the last few days working on a little project of his.

He was down by the lake when the video feed came on. Sleeves rolled up, sweat sticking curls of hair to his forehead and there was a healthy layer of dirt covering him too. A small axe he'd borrowed from the armory, some homemade rope, and stacks of wood he'd already scavenged or cut down. He was making a small hut to use when out fishing originally but had extended the project upon some thought. ]

Almost done... I er, my apartment was becoming a little over populated... What with all of these fellas , Winston, myself and Hannibal all living there so... I mean, I'm not exactly okay with the idea of people adopting them... I'd hate to think some of you tried to eat them after claiming them so... So I've built a little habitat for them. Please, please respect it?

[ Will turns his phone around, letting you see the 14+ Fennic fox and pair of Nugs he'd rescued when the demons arrived. He'd made a very small compound for them, much like a chicken coop and run. A few small huts for them to take shelter in and a small fence to hopefully keep things out. It was right next to his fishing hut too! So he could keep an eye on them of course. ]

I'd say you're all welcome to come and keep them company, they like to play... Er, you're also welcome to use the trapper shack too, but I mean, I'm there most days catching fish anyways so... Yeah.

[ Awkward as ever he cuts the feed. Closing his eyes and sighing. He'd forgotten to ask if anyone wanted to help him build it up a little bigger or to see if he needed permission from the Gods to start with. Oh well~ Never mind, right? ]

Um... They're good with Winston...

[ Winston is his dog, not his child, though Will doesn't really see a difference. ]

I mean, they don't bite and I've handled them all so they're used to being picked up and pet.

It would probably be alright then. Chara and Frisk would be very careful not to startle them, I'm sure...

[Asriel would have too, but lol only two kids left now]

Oh em, you look after some of the children here?

[ Will feels a little bit bad. He always meant to make an effort of looking out for the kids here... But circumstances have left Will even less confident in his ability to look after other. ]

If you want, you could bring them down and... And er, all being well I could help you pick one out for them?

[ That's right, he's actually willing to let you take one of his precious babies and keep them. ]

Why, yes! I am Chara's father, and Frisk is...a friend they made here.

[His own history with them doesn't really need to be shared with all and sundry. And anyway the offer to adopt is surprising enough that he doesn't have to invent a conversational shift.]

Really? Gosh, that's generous. I would have to speak with them first, of course - I do not believe either has ever owned a pet. [He's certain about Chara, that is, but he couldn't really speak to Frisk.]

You're a father?

[ Oh God... Will feels terrible. How he was supposed to be Abigail's surrogate father back home, yet he didn't even know she'd died in his absence until Hannibal informed him. Father and child, in a place like this? Will's heart bleeds. ]

Don't worry about, I can show you how to care for one, teach Chara and Frisk a few training techniques to help them bond. It's the least I could do.

[ Bring a little happiness into a child's life, especially when they have to grow up in a cave full of horror and monsters. ]

Yes, I...have two children.

[And only one remaining here.

But Asgore's touched enough by the gesture not to linger long on that.]

Thank you very much! I will speak to them and get back to you. Surprises can be nice, but I should hate to discover that they are nervous of such animals the hard way.

[ Will smiled, a true, genuine smile upon hearing how many children the other had. In fact, he was sure he'd seen them now and again, on the network and Sans mentioned them a few times... ]

That's not a bad idea. If it came to that, I'd happily take the fox back from you. I er... I wasn't planning on giving any away so this offer only stands for you.

Why...thank you. [He smiles, a soft expression despite being an enormous goat man.] That is most kind.

(( you wanna have an adoption log or something? the other undertoots are down ))

It's not a problem, you're more than welcome.

[ Will sat down on his knees and let the small, cute, foxes curiously come and sniff at him, some climbing up and onto his lap. ]

I'll be here most of today if you wanted to come and pick one out?

(( yea! that would be awesome, I'm up for that! ))

Very well then. Give me an hour, perhaps.

[It probably won't really take that long to gather the children up, ask their opinion, and get going, but better to overestimate than underestimate.]

I can do that.

[ Will is a very patient man, he was a fisherman after all, good at waiting and not getting too agitated in the mean time. He was a little nervous, however, on account of what Asgore looked like, though he recalled the first time he met Sans... He'd be just as polite and not question the identity of the other. ]

Just give me a call when you're near and I'll make sure I look out for you.
