[ mettaton doesn't notice her departure, without the same capacity for sensory bouquet that eren possesses, but it's just as well. he'd have to catch her some other time. eren's his company now, and he says much that remains cryptic. so many humans speak in such short words, and mettaton isn't sure if it's because they feel fundamentally misunderstood, beyond hope of being understood, or if they simply don't trust. why not come clean? if it were him, if he had some hesitation...
... no, he'd avoid it. he can't be hypocritical in this moment, though he could during others, at his whimsy. but how often is it that a human guesses at his own insecurities and problems? never. no human here has done as much, thankfully. the only person who has this robot figured out is an ascian, perhaps better equipped for the discovery. maybe it gives mettaton some respect for eren's space when he says "let's leave it at that" to think of his own reservations. even mettaton has the capacity to draw the line. ]
..... VERY WELL. WE WILL LEAVE IT AT THAT. THAT YOU WISH YOU COULD REUNITE WITH HER... BUT YOU'RE CONVINCED SHE WOULD NEVER RECIPROCATE.
I STILL THINK SHE'LL FIGURE OUT, HOWEVER! SHE'S VERY DETERMINED. I DOUBT ANYTHING COULD STOP HER... CERTAINLY NOT ME. IF SHE WISHED TO CLOSE IN ON YOU, FOR WHATEVER REASON... EVEN A SHOW-STOPPING STAR SUCH AS MYSELF COULDN'T GET IN HER WAY.
[ eren did you SEE how she rescued/kidnapped those kids??? (and how mettaton helped but that's besides the point??) he can't even distract her with his obvious sex appeal! jokes aside, he gets that sense from her. and whatever she wanted to do, he feels he'd be wrapped up in her designs rather than opposed to them. he is, after all, a monster-monster — he completely lacks determination. a sad truth. ]
