Look, I still want to go for peace on this. I don't want to attack these people, they have lost a whole fucking world of shit already. So I am going to ask for something.
I want a story from your past. Something I can share, something that makes you you. Stories were important to them. Past experiences were important to them. It shouldn't give away anything on the ship, just something that is important to the past. Your past. If there is art you can do, a particular talent, something that is creative, give me this. A picture. A recording.
If you're not interested in avoiding a fight, just go do whatever. Lick on a gun barrel for twenty minutes. Warning, they taste bad. But for the ones that want to try? Do me this favor. Avoiding a repeat of Cadacus Primary is why I asked for this job in the first place.
[He'll... try to avoid arranged marriages this time.]

This was a very long time ago, when I was a young woman. I with several boss monsters of a similar age were invited to the King and Queen's castle, a social invitation to meet their son formally. It was a beautiful spring morning you see, flowers had blossomed, the air was sweet and warm.
When we arrived, we were all ushered inside. They had set up a tea table and left the lot of us to ourselves. The other young woman, all wonderful people were content to wait. We waited quite a bit, enough we ran low on snacks. I was a bit... headstrong and decided I was bored enough to leave. [Toriel laughs softly shaking her head, lost in the memory.]
I wound my way into the gardens, investigating each flower and bush I could, I've never had a green thumb, but I've always been interested. I was distracted enough I didn't realize someone was headed in the same direction I was. We collided and both fell over onto the stone pathway lining the gardens. I didn't have much time to react beyond spluttering that the other person should watch where they were going.
It was very silly.
Even sillier I managed to find the Prince, Asgore. We were supposed to meet him and it turns out he was hiding in the gardens the entire time! He was apologetic, embarrassed. It was sweet then. I accepted his apology and apologized myself. We introduced ourselves and he asked me. 'Would you like to walk with me, Toriel? So we may properly know one another?'
He offered me his hand and I took it. I found it hard to let go then. He didn't mind either. We walked hand in hand just talking after that. I found out he and I were alike, he was this warm ray of sunshine with kind eyes and this soft laugh. He spoke excitedly of peace between monsters and man, of his dreams to bring everyone together...
[She laughs, weakly, looking away. She blinks rapidly feeling uncertain.] I fell for him quite quickly I suppose, foolishness of young love. By the end of the evening before the guards finally found us, I kissed him.
He was so startled he headbutted me with his horns and nearly sent both of us on the ground again. He was embarrassed and all I could do was laugh. I made him promise to me, we would see each other again. He kept that promise. He would come to see me every day after that, with potted flowers, books and snails. He'd stutter and stammer every time I held his hand.
['I was the one who broke it' goes unsaid, but Toriel's smile is weak.]
I hope that helped, even if it's from a long winded old woman.

It's not a story that ends happily, that house is empty now, and he can tell it hurts her too just by listening to the changing tone of her voice.
It hurts too. Why wouldn't it? He's the reason the story didn't end happily, after all.
He gets up once she's finished, and Toriel will find something small nuzzling against her side.]
It's a nice story, mom.
action
[It takes a moment before it settles in.] Oh! You- saw what I posted. Goodness. I wanted to tell you that in person, dear. [When she could pretend a little easier.]
action
What if you told me another one instead?
action
Hmm. Would you like one about your grandparents or should I surprise you?
action
Can I hear one about grandma and grandpa?
action
Of course. Do you want to hear how your grandma became a royal guard?
action
Mmm-hmm...
[Honestly Toriel could just start talking about bananas about this point and Asriel would be content to listen.]
action
[Toriel suspects Asriel won't remember half of this whilst she's scratching at his horns, but she doesn't stop.] Like any young monster with something to prove, she set her sights upon impressing the King. King Dreemurr.
Luck was on her side, you see. With this peace came much sport. The king held a tournament, humans and monsters alike could play there. Your grandmother decided she would impress the king with her archery.

Thanks. Is a good story.
no subject
If you ever need another, dear. Don't hesitate to ask.
