Take Initiative.

[trustharder]

It seems things have been resolved - peacefully, if more than a little awkwardly for most parties involved. However, there's still work to do here, isn't there? Ryuunosuke shrugs after a long moment; tips his head up a bit. "Hey, Glory? Let everyone up." And apparently that's all it takes, though what that actually does isn't something that happens all at once - rather, panels slide out from the wall, forming a staircase up to that balcony they've been standing on. Mettaton doesn't really wait for the others to join them; he just leaves back through that section of wall they entered from, calling something back over his shoulder. "We've got another room to work from back here, darlings, this shouldn't take too long to work out." >Follow?

[... She's beaming.]

Perfectly fine! Better than ever! I have never felt more alive!

[Really, honestly, even if she is sitting on the ground.]

[penduli]

[ you sure?? coz you looked like you ate A WHOLE LOT OF SHI oh

oh he can understand her, that's nice, this is gonna be super lovely when he gets around to talking to everyone else! ]

I'm glad to hear your energy's still boundless. [ ...you know what, he's gonna join her on the ground. SIIGRUNNNNNN.... Leaning against her. ] We, uh. We did it? That's really nice.

[captainobnoxious]

[Honey, if you weren't expecting her to not just hug you the moment you sat down, you're wrong. So much hugging.]

We did it. [Ah... she's gonna cuddle him. He's still so cuddleable.] I knew we would. And now I've got a big responsibility, too, but I...

[... She's gonna cuddle him a little harder.]

Honestly, I don't know what to say to Mettaton. Am I still dating him since he's not actually dead or anything? Do I have to break up with him because he's a bad person? Like, what's the procedure here?

[penduli]

[ ...oh my god HE JUST GOT OUT BEING ASLEEP FOR TWO MONTHS

HE HAS RELATIONSHIP DRAMA TO DEAL WITH ON HIS OWN END WHEN HE GETS AROUND TO IT

HE DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE CARE OF YOURS TOO— ]

That's up to you, Miss Sigrun. [ HE'S NOT GETTING IN OVER HIS HEAD ANYMORE. HE LEARNED HIS LESSON. HE'S NOT HERE FOR THIS, ESPECIALLY NOT RIGHT NOW. ] It's something the two of you need to talk about and decide for yourselves. No one else can.

[captainobnoxious]

[AUUUUUGH]

But you're so good at it!

[penduli]

[ NNNNNNNNNNNOPE!!!!!!!!!!! ]

Sorry. I... [ ...god look at that fake ginger mess over yonder. ] I have my own things to deal with, you know.

My advice is to just talk it out. That's it.

[captainobnoxious]

[...]

As advice to you, I say kiss him. There's nothing else to lose.

[penduli]

[ WHY YOU GOTTA ]

I think it'd be better if I talked to him instead of just kissing him out of nowhere? You know?

[captainobnoxious]

... Maybe.

[But for now, can she just. Can they just. You know. Do this?]

Think yours will goes better than mine probably will. Everything I wanted to say I wrote down and put into that masterpiece of mine and, well... it's gone, so.

[So she doesn't know what to say. How to really start it out. Maybe she should just write him a letter instead sometime.]

[penduli]

[ ...yeah, they can just. Do this. It's fine. ]

You can make another one. And all those hearts, too. [ It'll be fine. ] Everything's better the second time around, anyway.

[captainobnoxious]

[Good.]

I don't know if he'd like it. I mean, it was kind of much. And now it'd be a lot too. Especially the hearts part.

[... not that Black really knows why especially that.]

[penduli]

[ ...well. ]

No one says you have to do it immediately. When things are less what they are between the two of you you can, but hold off until then?

[captainobnoxious]

There's not glitter in my world, but I'll make due somehow.

[... Okay, she'll let go though.]

Thanks for standing with me. Sorry I made things for difficult for you and made you spy on people again, even if they knew.

[And now he's getting a noogie.]

But did you really have to tell him that secret in particular, kitten?

[penduli]

[ HE DESERVES THIS, HE'LL TAKE IT ]

You said anything, Miss Sigrun!

[captainobnoxious]

I thought it'd be clear that that one in particular was off limits, William.

[penduli]

[ HIS REAL, ACTUAL NAME. ]

Ryuunosuke's the only one who knows, don't worry! I promise!

[captainobnoxious]

[YES, IT IS.]

That's bad! What if he tells Mettaton? I don't need him thinking anything funny about it!

[penduli]

He won't tell! ...probably! Maybe Mettaton would think it's sweet or—something? I don't know, you two were always so weird.

[captainobnoxious]

I don't see what was so weird about us.

[sigrun

sigrun there was not a single thing that wasn't weird about you two]

[penduli]

Everything was weird, Miss Sigrun.

Everything.

[captainobnoxious]

Name three things.

[penduli]

[ YOU KNOW HE'S NO GOOD AT ON-THE-SPOT THINGS. ]

You're a human and a robot, you two were at each other's throats one day and then buddies the next, and you considered yourselves dating because you talked to him, gave him gifts, and liked hanging out with him. And he accepted that as perfectly legitimate reasoning, apparently.

[captainobnoxious]

[...]

Is all of that really weird?

[penduli]

...it certainly isn't normal.

[captainobnoxious]

... You have a point. Never thought I'd be dating the biggest asshole I'd ever met, either.

[Robots aren't normal in her world. But the everything else is pretty normal tbh.]

That was the only weird thing though. Us being a robot and a human.

[technically a ghost turned robot and a human but you know what

secret she's taking to the grave]
