[ Floods, by nature, born of irritation. Irritation can be a rather aggressive emotion when prompted. Under normal circumstances they don't shy away from a fight. In fact they might end up being the ones that start it. This particular one doesn't seem to mind the shouting from its victim and the moment the person objects? It does puff up a bit and look ready to strike before they stand down. And then the Flood takes off to enjoy its spoils. Usually there is never one, but it is by itself.

It isn't as thought the creature can grow stronger by feeding off of people and their emotions, though it still seems to enjoy being around them. However this time food takes priority. Without being able to feed off of emotions, apparently actual food has taken over that need.

When Papyrus shows up, the Flood puffs up again. It is ready to fight, if only because it has no idea what this bony dog-like thing wants. Is he a threat? An enemy? Someone after what it's already taken? ]

[Papyrus slows his approach once the Flood starts puffing up, but doesn't back away. He's not start anything, he's just curious. And hungry. Instead, he holds back to what he guesses is a polite distance, and openly sniffs at the air.

So far he's sure of a couple things: that's not a Shade, for one. It smells familiar somehow - not as familiar as a packmate friend, but not as someone he's snapped at before, either. Just someone met in passing?

He gives a low, questioning whine. The food is right there, can't they share? If not... maybe the Flood will leave some, if he startles it.]

[darkcharge]

[ Maybe it doesn't want to share. Or, what's likely closer to the truth, is that it doesn't know/understand the concept behind sharing. That would be something far too close to a positive thing for a creature created from negative emotion to comprehend.

What it can understand, however, is when something isn't presenting itself as a threat. Thus it stills, also waiting. Wanting to know what this monster is planning on doing. What does it really want here? What is its purpose?

Though Papyrus should be warned: the moment any thoughts begin to trail more towards negative ones, the Flood will be able to pick up on it. Thinking of startling it will likely be a good way to gain its attention. ]

[Stillness without rigidity is a good sign, to the turnskin's mind. They're both curious about each other, cautious but curious. That's enough to start with, even if his sniffing and whines haven't adequately conveyed what he wants.

Unfortunately for him, the notion that the Flood is empathic or telepathic? It's just not going to cross his mind.

Instead, Papyrus becomes more settled on his plan - take part of the food. He focuses on being friendly, ears perking a little bit up, and his tail begins to slowly wag behind him with anticipation. When he thinks the Flood is convinced - whether or not it's responding in any positive way - he leaps near them, hoping to startle them into dropping the food so he can grab part of it and dart a little ways away.]
