Frisk is used to danger. They're even used to dying. More than both of those things, though, they're used to dodging, so when the creature comes literally steaming their way with the complete opposite response they were hoping for when they'd waved at it, Frisk is already bending their knees, preparing to jump sharply backwards --
-- but for all the danger and dodging they're used to, explosions are actually on the newer-ish side.
Which is why, even though they're caught off-guard by the person leaping in front of them, Frisk is quick to obey her once the shield comes up and the deafening crack of the explosion splits their eardrums. Whoa. Instinctively, they latch onto whatever article of her clothing they can reach first - though they don't grip too hard. Luckily, they're just a kid, and pretty short for their age at that; when all is said and done, though everything happened quickly, the force of the blast doesn't even singe a hair on their fluffy head.
Whoa. That was kinda cool.
Also really startling, but there's not a lot that can actually shock Frisk - the moment the air quiets down around them again, Frisk peeks first around their savior to the crater left behind, and then immediately at her, tugging gently to get her attention.
Let's Have A Blast
