[She has to stop herself from echoing the 'pleasant', too, because that's not a word she's ever imagined being used to describe her. (Most positive words are not ones she's ever imagined in such context.) For a second, she wonders if he's making fun of her, and turns her perplexed, disbelieving look up to stare him right in the face - skull? - with it, as if attempting to ascertain his intention. He doesn't... seem not to mean it, exactly; something in her expression softens, even as she glances down to see the bunny beginning to make its (not particularly urgent-looking) escape.]
-- His duty? [There's the puzzled look again, eyes appraising. Did this guy really consider it to be a rabbit's duty to be eaten? She doesn't much like the sound of that - it hits more than a little too close to home - but the longer she listens to Papyrus, the more she thinks he really does... mean well, even if he seems to have some odd ideas about how that works. So she doesn't sound put off the way she might have before when she says,] You were training him for--?
[A pause; she stops herself suddenly as something in her mind clicks. Hm.] ... What were you training him for?
[(She catches the 'human' thing too late, too preoccupied to feel properly guilty about it, and quietly refrains from correcting him. After all, she does look like one.)]
