Roman put on a poker face and gave Captor a firm nod. He bounced on his toes and loosened up his muscles while the other two talked. Partway through, though, he had to scowl. Did Captor think that Roman couldn't hear him? ...Well, he couldn't, but it was still easy to guess that they were talking about him.

Frisk looked at Captor with such an expression of confusion as the child took in the fear and exhaustion this man seemed to have. What was the child even supposed to make of this? A man seemingly coming in, freezing time, and then asking him to do battle with this little monster the child hadn't even gotten the chance to know. Frisk had hoped that this kind of thing stopped back in the Underground after they befriended and calmed down Asriel, destroying the barrier...
...........
Still... This monster....
This man....
Don't hold back...
.....
Frisk let out a breath....
Then smiled to Captor simply, holding up a hand with a thumbs up. "I gotcha."
Well.... It wasn't like they hadn't dealt with monsters before right? And even here Frisk could tell that this wolf pup was more bark then bite. Who knows? This could even be fun.

It's with a weary, grateful smile that Captor replies. His hand lowers, he shakes his head out, and he turns to Roman. "Are you ready, Mighty One? The child is all yours." Away he steps, with a polite gesture to Frisk.

Roman took a deep breath and nodded firmly. Then he took on a bold stance and stared Frisk down from across the room, ears erect, claws bared, expression calm and analytical. Start out politely and professionally. This is meant to be an honorable duel.
"You are Frisk, are you not? The human who freed my people from their underground prison."

Ah the honorable type! That was always good. "Um..." Frisk held up a hand to Roman. "I'm sorryyyy.. Just a second." Frisk took a second to pull out a tissue and thoroughly blow their nose into it. Blowing out all the mucus they could so any recurring sinuses wouldn't be an issue a few minutes from now. Once the tissue was thrown away, Frisk then jumped off the chair and looked to Roman with a smile. "Okay Time-in. Yeah, I'm that human... I'm sorry. Have we never met before?" Frisk took a moment to rub their chin, thinking back on all the monsters they had met and all the experiences had. "...... I don't think we have.... Oh!!" The child's eyes lit up in recognition. "Are you related to Ice-Wolf??"
Yeah, yeah! Ice Wolf! A particularly burly wolf monster that was given the specific job of tossing massive cubes of ice into the Snowdin river so they could be funneled into the Energy Core to keep it's temperature at least moderately warm as opposed to broiling. The last time Frisk had seen Ice Wolf, the big fluffy dog had found himself a new home out in the woods near the city.

"Hm... My family is quite extensive. Perhaps you encountered a cousin of mine in your journey." Roman smiled, leaning forward slightly in anticipation. "We have not had the courtesy, though. I have been anxious to meet you since your arrival, my human friend. I... am the Mighty Roman! Rising champion of Snowdin! And I have come here to test your determination and prove my strength against a worthy opponent!"
A pale blue mist started to glisten between Roman's glove claws.
"Worry not. I have no intent to kill you. That would be most unfair to one who has shown such kindness to my people. I seek only a gentleman's duel! A test of skill and wit! An opportunity to demonstrate what I am capable of...!"

"That's nice. So how's your day been?"
......................................
?
"Hehe.... I can only imagine you've been pretty confused since you first landed here. We all were really." ..... Was.... WAS THIS KID SERIOUSLY TRYING TO STRIKE UP A FRIENDLY CONVERSATION? "Well allow me to welcome you to Dimensional Island. It's kind of a tough place. But we've been making it a good home-sweet-away-from-home." There was a shrug. "We've learned we're kinda stuck here for the time being... But I'm optimistic that we can get back home again soon enough."

"Hm... It's been quite interesting, actually," Roman answered honestly. "To be fair, though, my arrival here was inevitable, as I was simply following your trail. But enough formalities! Time to FIGHT!"
Taking a running start, Roman leaped forward and landed gracefully in the center of the room. Ice magic gathered in his paws and condensed around his claws, hardening into long icicles. With a flick of his wrists, the crystalline spears were detached and flung at Frisk.

Roman watched as Frisk danced around one attack with relative ease, hopped over another, and matrix'd the third ending with them touching the toes on their right foot, their left foot raised in the air in a perfect split. With that done, Frisk quickly straightened up and took in the battle menu as it became immediately apparent.

"Hehehe~. Well, that's one way to break the ice~." The child smiled at Roman's expression of confusion. "Oh what~? Come on, don't be so Frosty~. It was really ICE of you to put up so much effort to fight me, but so far it just looks like your 'freezing up' on homeplate~." The child couldn't help but giggle and snort as they continued hopping from one foot to the other, the joking seemed to reach an end.

"Hm. Clever." Roman lowered his eyelids, though beneath the deadpan expression seemed to be the faintest evidence of ironic enjoyment. "But don't act so... chill. I've only just begun!"
Ice gathered around his claws again, this time in short, jagged pieces. When he flung them loose, the ice chunks rapidly darted all about the room with little to no direction, swarming haphazardly around Frisk like crystalline insects.

The new attack was a predictable switch up from the current pattern. The ice bullets shattering mid-flight to spread all over the area in trying to strike it's target. Thankfully, Frisk knew exactly how to keep ahead of them rushing away from the bullets and then dodging between the splinters as they flew past. Which they did, easily moving around the splinters. One splinter managed to graze past their face, but the damage didn't show that much.

Virtually unphased by the attack, you decide to take a step back and properly examine your opponent and what to do.
Frisk did as such, carefully watching Roman's actions. "So I gotta know! What's the big idea with picking a fight with me anyway?"

"For years, I have been seeking the ultimate challenge!" Roman boldly explained as he readied another attack. "A worthy opponent against which I can truly hone my skills and prove myself!"
He once again launched icicles at Frisk, this time sending one wave at a time from different angles.

*ROMAN is having fun with this.

.... What was it with Monsters and not picking fights with something a bit closer to their ability to actually HANDLE? Undyne practically dogged them for minutes during the chase into Hotland back in the Underground, Papyrus stubbornly refused to let Frisk by unless they bested him, and now here was THIS cub. Regardless, when the attacks swung at them at fast speeds, the child ducked several of the attacks, jumping over a majority, and dancing past others with a twirl.
Okay, thus far his patterns were pretty standard faire for other monsters... Now Frisk just needed to figure out how best to approach this cub....
Wait a minute....
CUB!

In the heat of the moment, Roman's adrenaline was high and his excitement was overflowing. He was practically a white and silver fluff ball on his highest possible energy setting. Every little bit of stimuli sent him on high alert.
So when Frisk pulled out a stick, he quickly jumped to the conclusion that Frisk was about to attack, fight or flight kicking in as he prepared to move. As soon as Frisk threw the stick, Roman bolted into action, instinctively leaping at the stick and swiping it up off the floor like an overexcited puppy.
...Whoops. Did he just waste his turn?
Roman's ears flattened with embarrassment, but he quickly shook it off and fumbled to recover. "A-Aha...! Clever distraction! W-Well... I have your weapon now! What, uh... Whatcha gonna do about it?"

*You proceed to get closer as quickly as possible. You already knew that Roman would react negatively regardless of what you did. So let's make this careful.*
Roman likely went wide eyed in surprise at Frisk's sudden move forward and quickly jumped to get out of the way. Instantly Frisk could see a green energy shine around Roman, signifying the sudden effectiveness of the coming ACT. "Here Doggy doggy~!"
Roman jumped out of the way, but Frisk moved in his path, grazing into the green glow-
And as opposed to getting punched or the like, Roman was likely surprised by a hand stroking down his fur as he flew past. Another jump ended similarly, with Frisk managing to jump directly into Roman's landing place and quickly petting him on the head. "Who's a good wolf~? That's right~! You are~!" The child was quick to jump out of the way as Roman jumped.
