( She's not just teaching, but... she's teaching children, too. He goes silent for a moment. He's happy for her, how could he not be? He knows that she always wanted to teach -- but, there's a bitter feeling in the pit of his stomach, as well -- a part of him that he always tries to push away as soon as he feels those negative feelings. He couldn't feel love, or compassion for so long. That isn't something that goes away right away, after all.
Asriel's someone who won't have a happy ending, but... he knows that all the other monsters in the undergound have had a chance for that. He doesn't want any negativity to potentially ruin that, especially when he's in this world to help.
Still, something seems off about all of this. But... what could it be...? )

( If she hasn't recognized who he could possibly yet, she may not have heard that name before. )
