[While Asriel cries against him, Mettaton finds himself feeling angered. Is that all he felt anymore? Anger and sadness? He couldn't help himself though. Anytime Asriel is reduced to this state over something new and traumatic, he wants to hurt whoever had done it.
It's not entirely like he reacts when Napstablook is treated badly. It's weird...feeling so strongly protective of someone that wasn't his cousin.
And when Asriel says he doesn't want to leave the ship again, Mettaton immediately latches onto that.]
Don't. Stay here. You can even stay with me in my ro-room!
[Augh, damn it. He's got to stay calm...he doesn't want to stutter at a time like this!]
I mean--for now though...why don't we sit? Let's, ah. Let's talk about something else?
[He speaks softly this time; he doesn't want to stress his body out, it's still not at optimum performance, though it's far better than it had been earlier in the month.]
