[They would be an unstoppable pair when they collectively want something beyond a passing want or an idle curiosity. They've demonstrated it again and again for one another; this is just an external use of that force...
How useful mind control magic could be. Even Mettaton idly considers it, comparing it to the use of an enchantment that managed to get theater banned. Mind control would, no doubt, be worse. A mental note not to fall prey to the desire to use it for any reasons related to stardom, even though Mettaton, once again, doesn't see the big deal in mind controlling an audience... save for the fact that he imagines he could do it without magic.
Not quite like what Soren requires, however. Not only does Soren seem to dislike him (ugh), but no persuasion could make him lose a memory, unless it's persuasion with a blunt object and a gamble for amnesia.]
Anything careless... No, nothing like that. I asserted that I would give him anything I had as compensation. No matter what I offered, he kept telling me that no trade or promise would placate me. Maybe he was right.
[In reality, Soren was being practical-minded: why would Mettaton believe a promise from a mere stranger? Unfortunately, he would have at first. All it would take for Mettaton is an authentic display of complete reassurance, which obviously didn't happen. It's too late for that. Mettaton can't see his position. In retrospect, he almost thinks it's silly that he trusted Soren so readily, that he would have accepted a promise from him.]
I had no options at the time but to accept that he had this on me, otherwise.
