"Oh! You're awake!" A voice exclaimed, one he'd never heard before.

Error was instantly up and alert, his multicolored eyelights darting around until he spotted the one who had spoken- a skeleton clothed in black and white, with heterochromatic red and white eyelights, and far more determination than a monster should be able to safely have.

"Who are you? What are you doing in the Anti-Void?" Error growled, hiding his anxiety behind a mask of being the destroyer, known throughout the Multiverse as a monster to fear.

"Anti-Void? This is what's left of X-Tale after X-Gaster screwed it all up," The other stated puzzledly. "Also, you probably shouldn't be standing on that leg, it had a nasty crack that I couldn't heal all the way."

"Name!" Error growled, interrupting the other's monologue. He still didn't trust this mysterious skeleton... no matter how much they reminded him of Blue... he definitely shouldn't trust them this quickly, although now that he concentrated he could tell that it was their magic that had been used to heal him, he could sense the magic residue left behind by an untrained healer.

"Well... my name is Sans, but you can call me Cross," Cross said, staring at the other. "What's your name? Also, please sit down! You'll hurt yourself worse!"

"I'm fine," growled Error, ignoring Cross's worried expression. "And I guess you can call me Error. That's what I am, after all," he added, laughing glitchily.

"That doesn't seem like it should be a name..." Cross said sadly, before continuing cheerily, "But if that's what you want to be called, then Error it is!"

The two talked for a while, Cross attempting to convince Error to sit back down, and Error completely unbothered by his remaining injuries.

All good things must come to an end, though, and Ink enjoys making new AUs too much to stop anytime soon.

"I've got to go," Error said glitchily, wincing as if his soul was being bombarded by flies. "But I'll come back, and I'll get you out of here once I find a safe place for you," he added, reminded far too much of Blue by this young skeleton. "A kid like you doesn't belong in a place like this."

Cross nodded, smiling at the older skeleton in a cheerful, childish way.

'Nobody should have to go through what I went through,' Error thought as he stepped through one of his glitchy portals.
