You had magic at home? ( There's a lengthy pause on Asriel's end, and he decides to finally ask: ) ... Are you a monster, too?

( He's seen too many people who look like monsters but ended up taking offense at his question. It's better that he doesn't make any assumptions at this point. )

But, you might be able to use magic from home. I was given some that my parents were trying to teach me before. ( He raises a hand then, a small ball of fire appearing before it disappears. ) ... I think that a lot of people here were given magic that's best for them, or magic that they had at home before.

( They can't help but stop at the question. )

... Kris? No, I don't know that name. But... uhm... they sound like they look a lot like my other best friend -- Frisk. ( Or... an older version of them, anyways. )
