[Mettaton's smile grows. He likes it. It's clear as day. He's an affectionate sort, and close proximity, invading the space of others... He doesn't mind it in the slightest.]
Of course. You understand after all. Yes... Let this be our image of Bonding. They couldn't bother you as thoroughly now!
[Or what, Mettaton? You'll flirt with them? Anyway, it's a good thing he has such flexible, plentiful arm for her to hook into. He's rather tall, and for most it might be an awkward fit. His ears pull back into a satisfied neutrality, and he raises a finger of his other hand.
He's back on an emotional key that is satisfactory, all ills wrapped up nicely and stowed away. No more thoughts of what he just tried to do to Mira, no more thoughts of the reason for his tension that spurred him toward that behavior in the first place. The Puca is placated by contact and company.]
There are so many things they offer that I can't do. Things related to water... I'm sure you understand. [He doesn't tell Mira that he could, if he could shapeshift. Mostly because he doesn't want to have that discussion about why he can't shapeshift.] Instead, how about I take you to get something to eat? Or do you have something else you'd like to do, for fun?
[Not that going to her office and writing couldn't be fun... Just that he'd hoped to interrupt her routine a little. Mettaton, personally, loves to change things up. He doesn't see the harm. He's always wrangled his introverted friends and family into Doing New Things with him.]
