Lapis doesn't answer the question about Frisk any more than the others. Let Silver do it if they want. Better to be noticed as little as possible -- just an extra hand there to do a job rather than any form of threat. In the background, she's just a shadow, barely worth taking seriously.

Still, J may be able to feel the touch of her mental fingers on the bottle like fingers on a trigger. The water twitches just slightly, alive under her control.

It's the closest source of water she has. She's already pinpointed three other possibilities -- the pipes in the ceiling, leading up to the loan office, the rusting sink in the corner that likely doesn't even turn on . . . and the sewers far below, where, unbeknownst to all, she is already tugging up watery refuse and waste toward the surface. The faint scent of raw sewage mingles in with the other aromas in the basement, emanating from the half-blocked drain.
