[Toriel... she's not quite sure why Sans has suddenly gone so quiet. Has no idea the impact that her words had on him. She's barely heard anything at all about alternate timelines. It hadn't occurred to her really that Sans might be from another one- that her promise would have such an impact on him. That it'd keep him from intervening so many times to stop a human that, truly, might not even have been human at all.
He's had no idea, the amount of times she's died, thinking that this child is going to go on to kill everyone else in the Underground with nobody to protect them. She has no idea either.
All she knows is that she told him not to keep a promise that might end up hurting him, and he's gone silent.
She's about to break the silence herself, when he finally speaks up, and... ah. 'The kid'. He knows them, then. Knows they're the reason she mentioned not having to keep that promise anymore. Even though he already kept it anyway. Kind of, of course. Because, just as she'd feared. Her request had gotten him killed when he attempted to fulfill it, right?
Now it's her turn to go quiet- not for as long as him, but. It's definitely noticeable.]
It... is alright. You do not need to apologize.
You could not have known what was going to happen.
