To be Determined in the Nexus

[determinedflirter]

 Waking up in a bed of flowers after taking a giant fall is one thing she prefer to wake up from. But in the middle of the cold floor Plaza of a strange new place, is new. Frisk had thought she was dreaming after finally getting a good sleep in her mother's home. She had faintly smelled the sweet butterscotch and cinnamon mixture of her favorite treat. Though after a few pinches to herself and squeaks of pain, it was not a dream. She was not in her bedroom.

Luckily, there were some pamphlets on the side she was able to reach. The girl took her time to read one carefully. "Nexus..." she whispered to herself. There were other areas detailed in it that she could go to. She would definitely want to visit those areas later, but a new concern raises in her. "Excuse me," the human spoke up to anyone in her direction, trying to get anyone's attention. "Is there a place I should stay in for a while? I don't have any money, but I promise to do anything to help pay back. Please?"

"Of course, it's no trouble at all." For being stuck in the Nexus, Frisk certainly impresses Marie by how optimistic she is. What an enduring and determined child. She bends down on one knee in order to be facing Frisk at eye level.

"I think you're right. The pamphlet really doesn't go into detail about hotels. Most people head down through the Shopping District to find a place to stay, however, I don't think a young child such as yourself should be walking around unattended." Much as the Nexus had an anti-violence field, who knows what kind of people will try to take advantage of this child. "How about you stay with me for a little while? We can look around for your doorway as well."

She nods. "That would be nice. Thank you so much." The small child beamed. It has been some time for Frisk to have someone walk alongside her. The kid had been used to being by herself, that company was still pleasant to have.

"Oh, my name is Frisk," the girl introduces herself. "It's very nice to meet you!"

"It's no trouble at all. Us adults should be looking out after any lost children." She extends one hand to Frisk, in order to make sure the child doesn't get lost while they walk around. To be fair, she won't be offended if Frisk refuses.

"Marie. It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Frisk." She'll start walking along slowly, making sure to not lose sight of her company. "Where should we go first? Do you want to go searching for your door? Or maybe you'd like to get something to eat? I'll take you wherever you want to go."

Frisk holds onto Marie's hands as they walk side by side. Before she could reply, a low growl came from her stomach. A warm flush grew upon her face.

"I guess food is a start," she responded. "I didn't bring any money though..."
