Of course I'm back, I asked you to wait for me, didn't I? So I wouldn't dare keep you waiting for long.

[Mettaton would address the spider encounter later. For now, he was going to let Asriel attempt to hug him all he likes. Unfortunately, he's very intangible, so unless Asriel uses his own magical influence, he won't be touching much.

Mettaton, for his part, is still getting used to this...again...]

I'm sorry I didn't say anything, I've been following you for a little while, but...

[Haha. What does he even say?]
