Really, they should have realized that when Chara first told them, but Frisk had been very rattled by that first conversation. By the time they'd realized it was far too late to even try to figure out where Chara had gotten to. So they take a leaf out of Papyrus' book and start by...checking every barracks deck.
First they start with the rooms labeled seven on each floor, trusting that Chara had at least been right about that much. Having already checked Nomo and Moro, they've come up to Mero certain that they have it right this time! Smiling and squaring their shoulders, they give the door a few knocks.
Asriel's second night was a lot quieter, and much less emotionally exhausted. But he hadn't really left his room much, only when he was hungry or wanted some time alone to explore the ship. Everything was still so overwhelming, so many unanswered questions and worries...
The knock wakes him up out of a nap, and the young monster untangles himself out of the mess of blankets he piled up in his new egg bed. He wraps one of the blankets around himself like a cape before he groggily answers the door.
"Hello...?"
He blinks, looking a little confused when he recognizes the child in front of him. How did Frisk find him?
Frisk holds up their hands and shakes their head frantically, trying to come up with a way out of this that isn't just literally fleeing down the hall. Frisk doesn't want Asriel to think they're just being a jerk, but--!
Well...they're bound to run into each other on the ship eventually. And Frisk doesn't have to say that they knew Chara before coming here.
"I...I met them when I was getting dinner yesterday."
Frisk wouldn't be the type to lie, Asriel thinks. Especially not when it involves something like that. But it just doesn't make any sense. There's no way that Chara could be here.
"That's impossible, Frisk. Chara's... Chara's been gone for a really long time. What would they be doing here?"
"I...I don't know. But they're alive here." Frisk isn't sure how Chara was given a body of their own, what the Ingress did to separate the two of them in the first place. But that's a mystery to worry about another time. "...they were really upset about something, too. They wouldn't tell me what."
Backdated to the second night, action!

Why were they asking about Chara? They already knew what happened to Chara. Was it a joke that Asriel didn't understand?
"... That's not very funny."
