[Mettaton felt just as useless being transported as he had when he'd initially fallen down, but he's happy that help came at all for him and Asriel.
The more time that passes, the more he realizes he...may not ever move again, at least not until he dies and revives...if he's afforded that benefit this time. Thankfully, the Savrii that collect them both are kind enough (must be hard, choking down all those nasty thoughts about people like them) to help settle him near a plug, and they even help make him comfortable in Rinzler's home. Or at least...as comfortable as one could get in such a place.
He's just a dumb, dying robot though, so he has no complaints.
Just fears.
Once the Savrii are gone, Mettaton pointedly tries to avoid Asriel's gaze, because he feels...shame? Fear? Anxiety?
Maybe all of those. He's...not going to be the one that starts the conversation here. He can't. All those emotions make him feel as if he doesn't deserve to speak to Asriel, whether that's the only thing he can do or not.]
