[Heartbeat.

Makes her feel like she could be important.]

I'd never, uhm, t-thought about it. I don't know if anyone here knows how to play, though uhm, I guess t-there are probably books or something...

[Despite being in Wonderland, she falls back into old habits of material scarcity easily. It's the same reason she still scavenges in the attic when she can just pull the things she needs. It's a defense mechanism- can't get used to having too much. Can't have it too nice.]

I'm not even sure where I'd start.

[determinedest]

Napstablook might be able to teach you. They're the one who taught me to play.

[They're patient and earnest, and Alphys isn't exactly an intimidating monster by default. Though if anyone would be intimidated by a stammering Royal Scientist, it would probably be Napstablook.]

[sciencelizard]

I don't know if t-they know how to play drums, but uhm... maybe it'd be worth it to, uh, ask, if they know somebody, or s-something.

[Napstablook did seem to have more of an affinity for her, being from the timeline they were. Maybe she should make an attempt to be closer to them.]

If, uh, all else fails, maybe there's s-some books in the library or something!

[determinedest]

There must be. Do you want me to look for some for you?

[If it's something she's interested in pursuing, there's no reason why she shouldn't, right? They have all the time in the world, here. Might as well learn all those things you never got a chance to!]

[sciencelizard]

[She doesn't want to put more work on Frisk, but it's hard to keep the enthusiasm out of her voice.]

If, uhm, you s-see anything, sure! It couldn't hurt to just, uh...

[To crash and burn and fail and let everyone down and and and]

... try, right?

[determinedest]

Exactly.

[It's gonna happen now. What else will they be doing in the meantime? They've got endless time on their hands, and not much else to do with it besides learn something new, or help someone else learn something new.

It's nice, though, isn't it?]

[sciencelizard]

Well... okay.

[They're trying. She should try too.]

Let me know, uh, then, if you s-see anything. I'll talk to you soon?

[determinedest]

Okay.

[Hopefully no horrible traumatic events will cut this plan short whatsoever, right?]

[sciencelizard]

[HAHA NO NOT AT ALL, NEVER]
