You ignored the rude comments that got thrown at you while packing the food you had bought from the small stand you were standing in front of, the owner watching uncomfortably as the group kept being snarky in their yells. You loaded the packages with the faint help of the worker into your bag slowly until you felt a soft squish against the back of your head while feeling drops fall onto your clothing with the tomato residue slide onto the pavement. Loud snickering sounded out behind you while the person in front of you let out a slight gasp with shock as you tied up the last few groceries.

You heard another force of wind behind your back, expecting to be hit again with another unknown item while you braced for the impact but you only heard scared surprise as you caught the sound of running of the crowd disappear faintly. You turned your head gently to the source to see a shadow shielding you as they turned their face towards you with a warm concerned smile on their expression, recognizing the King instantly.

The royal skeleton wiped away the dark splotches that was still lingering on the back of your head with a soft touch while taking you away from the shop to the empty side of the town. His eyelights darted around you to check for any other spots you could have gotten affected by before releasing a relived sigh while meeting your gaze with a tender demeanor.

“Are you alright? I am so sorry that happened, I never expected some of my people to be cruel like that. Do you need me to take you to clean up?”

Dream asked, a worried tone grazing his voice as he tilted his skull inquisitively while gesturing to his grand castle with a golden gloved bony hand. His non existent skeletal eyebrows creased slightly, his gaze still firmly on you.
