( they’re easy to miss. mettaton actually has to do a double take, simply because no one ever expects to see somebody huddled up in an alley.

he approaches them to give them a once over— they’re alive, aren’t they? )

You don’t look very good, dear.

( kneeling next to them. breaking off a little piece of cookie. )

It’s chocolate chip…

Oh, dear… thank GOODNESS I always have a MTT-Brand cookie or candy on me.

WELL, I do have my nightly oil baths.

I don’t have skin, darling.

Awww. Aww 🥰 One molecule big!

Cool!

( carrying him off. )

A walk! ✨

( it’s not necessarily a compliment, but if he wants to take it that way, then great! tucking him under his arm like a loaf of bread. )

Go on, darling, use your words.

You’re a funny little thing, aren’t you!

( picks him up by the back of the poncho like a little kitten. )

It seems like you forgot about them while you were wearing one, too.

You’re just a little hater.

( grown ass woman. luckily, mettaton finds this incredibly endearing. )

Well, you’re certainly not human, are you?

That’s— 💢

YES. Precisely.

… Riiiight.

You’re funny! But no.

That’s RIGHT you little genius. You’re so good at this!

THANK you for sharing, my diminutive little friend.

Well! Don’t do that either.

Oh… how sweet. 💫

( he scritches under her chin lightly. )

You’re an interesting little thing yourself. I’ve never seen a monster quite like you before. So little, and so… green!

Your CHEST, darling. You can’t all possibly be binding in other ways to cause this much confusion.

…… Okay, lovely. 🙂

I’ll pencil you in, beautiffff ( pausing ) ( grimacing a bit ) Um, you 😇

I, personally, find it joyous and riveting.

Why the fuck does he look like me

Okay, darling. 😇 Whatever you say.

Well, it’s certainly not mine. How interesting!

You can’t be talking like that, organic baby.

I think there’s been some sort of base-level miscommunication, here, beautiful.

Oh, darling, you flatter me.

( picking her up under the arms like a cat. )
