[Having no meaningful reputation in this strange world, Mettaton felt it was about time to change that and earn some much needed brownie points with the denizens of Domina. After hearing about the problem a "Miss Yuka" was having with some of her residents, the robot took it upon himself to help the chicken monster.

... Hopefully there would be a reward.

However, he hasn't expected to be partnered up with someone else for this task. As Miss Yuka introduces them to each other, Mettaton looks dooownnn at both the dog and the human male, hands planted firmly on his hips.

They were obviously going to cramp his style. Hiding his distaste for this turn if events, the robot offers one of his (self) award winning smiles.]

Mettaton. An absolute pleasure to make your acquaintances.

[Yuka further instructs them of what rooms and what the residents names. There are a number of them but the ones that catch Mettaton's attention are Valerie and David, a Sproutling, and Mr. Eduardo.

"You can divid and conquer or work together. I don't care how you do it, just get them out of here!"

The glambot turns towards the others and raises an eyebrow.]

I'm fine with either choice.

[Not really.]

But I'll allow you two to pick.

[Don't -- come on, Mettaton, you were doing really well. Dust folds his arms, possibly now the least approachable person in the world with that body language and hidden beneath his hat.]

[But, nevertheless, he speaks up, in that quiet and intense voice of his.]

I think you're both eager to argue and get upset... because you both mean a lot to each other. This whole thing has hurt you, so maybe your first question should be if you can forgive, and put the hurt aside. Stop being angry and just talk.

It would be a shame to lose something that meant a lot to you both over one misunderstanding.

[Maybe it's more how Dust speaks than what he's saying, but either way, David and Val stop arguing long enough to give him thoughtful looks. Of course, they might just be gearing up to turn all their insults on him.]

[While Mettaton and the penguins sit down, Sam leans back against the door and shoves his hands in his pockets, shoulders slightly hunched as he watches and listens intently. He doesn't appear to mind at all the robot taking the lead here.

When it comes to the point about them both being pirates, Sam has to fight to keep his face neutral though his lips twitch in amusement anyway. Everything here is just so... surreal. The people especially. Somehow this couple's conflict is both exactly like and nothing like those of humans in his own world.

At the exasperated look Mettaton gives him, Sam just lifts an eyebrow, then turns to look at Dust as he begins speaking to the pirates, and finally he just lets the smile settle onto his face as he nods and redirects his own gaze to the couple on the couch.]

He's right. I don't think either of you had the intention to hurt the other, but you're busy focusing on your own pain and not thinking about how the other might be feeling. And you've both got options, you just have to sit down like this and discuss them with one another to decide what's going to work best for you.

...Except you can't stay here unless you're paying. That's pretty much the only option that's off the table.
