[Even in such little time, Mettaton manages to tie the trash bag closed and take a seat on the floor, his head bowed. Once the other ex-monster shows up with napkins, he cleans himself up a little, then lets out a tired sigh.]

Sorry to have worried you, darling. I'm a little better now. I didn't realize such an unpleasant experience could actually end in feeling even marginally less ill.

[He tries to smile, but it's a little awkward.]

And...I am sorry for being overdramatic. I shouldn't have texted you that way. You were just the first person I could think to trust.

[pleasereset]

You really feel better? You're not getting sicker?

[Asriel still looks a little upset, but mostly he just looks worried. And maybe somewhat unconvinced that Mettaton is okay.]

Mm... I'm sorry... I couldn't help at all.

[mttbrandlegs]

No, honey. I'm not getting sicker. I think all the sick got out of me just now.

[He'd laugh, but it wasn't funny. Not unless someone was into that sort of thing.]

And don't go on like that, you helped me plenty. You came when I asked, and you've done everything you could thus far. I'd say that's plenty helpful.

I suppose if you wish to contribute further, you might let me help you make some tea. For the both of us! Besides, it isn't as if I have had any before, you know.

[pleasereset]

... Humans who get sick like that, they usually get a lot sicker and then... they kind of "fall down" like monsters do.

[Sorry Mettaton, it just hits a little too close to home. But with his reassurance, Asriel starts to calm down.]

O-okay. Let's make some tea.

[Mettaton has thus far been trying to avoid hugging Asriel, mostly because he doesn't want to gross the kid out, but...it wasn't as if his clothes were dirty, and it's impossible to avoid it in this situation anyway. So he gets himself up, brushes his pants off like nothing awful had just happened, then moves forward and pulls Asriel into a brief hug, ruffling his hair.]

I won't fall down, sweetheart. I wouldn't ever disappoint you like that if I could help it, alright? Besides, aren't humans much tougher than monsters? It's going to be much harder to hurt me now!

[He knows that's not entirely true, but...what's a little white lie when it comes to trying to comfort Asriel?]

[pleasereset]

[Asriel doesn't think that's true either, but humans don't die as easily as monsters do. It'll be all right, won't it? Still, Asriel finds himself hugging back.]

Y-yeah, humans are a lot stronger than monsters.

[Asriel reaches for his hand. Tea would help here now more than ever, if not to help Mettaton feel a little better and to calm Asriel's nerves.]

Do you think we're going to stay like this...?
