I'm going to be busy for the next couple of days, so I need someone to watch Koo for me. He likes you a lot, so I was thinking perhaps I could count on you?
[She wants them to take care of Koo? Not that they wouldn't jump at the opportunity to spend some time with the little pokemon, but this seems awfully short notice. Within a couple hours, she'd said...]
You could.
[Obviously, and there's no doubt in there. Frisk does their best to stay that level, but a subtle chord of concern creeps in.]
Mhmmm. I just won't have time to play with him, and I don't know when I'll be finished. I'd hate to keep him cooped up in that ball for so long.
[Wait, she's making this sound like it'll be much longer than she intends.] Ah, not that it'll be months or anything! I should be done within a week. Hopefully sooner. Zaveid has a bad sense of time, but we're thinking no longer than that.
[Zaveid... right, right, they know him. Frisk nods, which is perhaps telegraphed in the tone of their voice as they say, mostly to themself:]
The midnight cheesecake man.
[They're still curious about what's going on - it probably has to do with magic if Rin is involved - and why it's going to take so long. A week isn't too bad, but it's certainly a noteworthy amount of time. Frisk isn't necessarily one to press for details, though, and if it means some face-time with her cute pokemon...]
[How could they say no to that?]
OK. I'll be sure to play with him. He can meet Duckie next time I visit, too.
[Midnight cheesecake man? Rin hides an inelegant snicker behind her hand. Zaveid inherits the most eccentric monikers. Someday, she'll have to ask Frisk the story behind that one.]
He'll love that.
[It's why she so often takes him to the daycare, even when Koo has a playmate in Julia the Kangaskhan, and more begrudgingly, Linda the Raichu. He's a social creature. New friends are good for him.]
But listen, I have to go now. If it's alright, I'll come by your room in a little while to drop him off?
Ugh, you hang out with Sans too much. [But the good cheer in her voice hasn't faded any, Rin clearly amused by the pun in spite of herself.]
Thank you again, Frisk. When we see each other again, I'll be sure to make you some Chinese as a token of my appreciation. [Vegetable dishes (she remembers), egg rolls... Oh, and rice, of course. But Rin is distracting herself now.] Bye-bye for now.

[Heh heh, did they really sound upset? Cool.]
What's the favor?
