It's true, the Ringmaster's on the other side of the portal; she made it so everybody else could go back for comfort and supplies, and said something about about her needing to stay over there. Makes sense, keeping a foothold would require her feet being on that side.

Of course, Papyrus is the protagonist here, obviously. But that makes it all the more important he not fall for any tricks. Especially with... his brother involved.
"It's true she's over there... and she freed you?" he asks Tyki, then plows ahead without letting an answer go through. "Why didn't you say so! We should get him to the Ringmaster right away."
