(They don't respond. If possible, however, they will approach, and stare.

The Geth wished to know if they had a soul. Their Creators believed the answer was no, and murdered them for this question.

Now, they can see it.)

[The soul seems to move a little along with them, but it can probably respond to their desire to get closer to it and allow that!

Asgore stays where he is. It's a little rude, in his mind, to approach somebody else's soul. It's still his turn - normally he wouldn't take the first one in a FIGHT, but he wanted to be able to end it quickly if needed. He can hold here for as long as Legion needs.]

When the Geth asked our Creators if we had souls, they murdered us.

(They continue to stare.)

...oh.

[Asgore's eyes go wide, and his claws clasp together almost unconsciously. There's a lot of questions that spring to mind at that revelation, but none of them seem appropriate.]

I'm sorry.

[forwearemany]

Acknowledged.

(After a few more moments, they lose interest in staring at their soul.)

[journalname]

[Asgore isn't quite sure what else to say. This is the first he's realized of how meaningful this must be for Legion - he'd thought it was mostly just curiosity, like so many people have when he mentions souls.

He wishes he could offer them some tea or something, but he suspects they don't consume liquids.]

Is there anything I can do?

[forwearemany]

Negative.

(Nothing will ever fix what has been done.)

You have showed it to us. Thank you.

[journalname]

...of course. You need only ask.

[forwearemany]

How is this manner of encounter ended?

(The fight, they mean.)

[journalname]

Do you agree to end this peacefully?

[* ASGORE is sparing you!]

[forwearemany]

Yes.

(Hostility, after all, was not their intent.)

[journalname]

[The encounter flickers out at their words, their soul vanishing back from whence it came. Asgore nods, satisfied.]

That is all there is to it. The agreement does not always need to be stated aloud, but it helps with people unused to battle.

[forwearemany]

(Their headflaps shift a bit as they watch.)

Acknowledged.
