[His personal space being invaded further was probably the least aggravating part of Mettaton's presence. If anything, it allows him to lean slightly against him in turn; the Ascian's leg still wasn't completely well, and standing for any length of time was uncomfortable. So, if Mettaton insisted on being there, he might as well be used for a small degree of support.
But it was true, he had convinced Mettaton to be quiet for a time. Once. In a torture basement. And as much as Emet-Selch would appreciate silence from him again, getting it was not quite worth reenacting those circumstances.
And so he opens his mouth to protest that silence would be the opposite of bad news, it'd be very good news, worthy of celebration, perhaps- he stops himself as he thinks about it more, brows knit in small consternation.]
...No, you're right. It would be quite disturbing.
[And he already looks disturbed, at this realization. Raising his own arm, he taps Mettaton on the center of his chest, for emphasis. His expression makes it clear that he's blaming the puca already for this, somehow.]
To know you were there, but not saying anything? Unnerving.
[It would clearly mean he had something worse planned. And that would be concerning... if not exactly for Mettaton's welfare.]
