[Sans won't comment on any choking up that may or may not be happening. Instead, he drags a chair over and does something of a controlled collapse into it. He's been walking for hours; his own exhaustion washes over him, but he forces it back for the moment. As for books that are close at hand...]
Wanna hear about constellations? Or I could probably do Fluffy Bunny. [Probably.]
[Sans is going to fall asleep in that chair, isn't he. Well, Papyrus won't point it out - if they're in the same room, better odds they'll hear something if something does happen. Maybe it didn't help with him and Kiara... but maybe it will this time!]
...Constellations are good. There's a lot of them, right? [He'd like to sleep, but he's not at all sure it'll happen soon. A long ramble about stars - one of the good things about being on the surface as humans? He could appreciate the reminder of good things. Fluffy Bunny... might just hit that uncanny point of too close to home yet not close enough.]

[Sans grabs the book on the nightstand. He's not typically a "read in bed" guy (more of a pass out in bed guy), but it's Sans and so he could have just put that book down at random and left it there. He sits up straighter for an instant in an attempt to wake himself up more. He recorded stuff on Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, so...]
Here's some stuff on the Big Dipper. [Almost the same constellation, but not quite. Sans settles back into a slump immediately, but he's pretty intent on outlasting Papyrus here if at all possible. But he is tired.]
The Big Dipper... [What a strange name for stars. And yet, that sounds familiar. He thinks a moment, and part of a memory sparks.] One of those buddies. The polar bear?
Yeah, the big one. There's a small one too. [And they're polar bears now, as decided by them. Sans will read some actual Big Dipper information. It doesn't involve polar bears, but it's still interesting. Still, as he reads, his voice is definitely taking on that falling asleep quality. Still, he's trying not to do that.]
[It's been an exhausting day, on top of an exhausting multiple days. Papyrus is tired, too - and more than that, he wants to sleep. With settling in for the somewhat dry information about constellations, closing his eyes and relaxing as best he can, the sound of Sans's voice going sleepier is contagious. Soon his breathing settles down in a way that means, if he's not outright asleep, he's doing and well on his way there.]
