[Emet-Selch doesn't reiterate that yes, he did mean three days. Three whole days of None Mettaton. Longer than he'd ever taken to recharge, even from an entirely dead battery. Longer than he'd ever been in his company while simultaneously been without him. Three days that felt longer than they were, that passed in a dull haze of unease.
But they had passed all the same.]

[Translation: fret. But smaller frets, or else he would've been more serious in his reply. It was difficult to type and walk, so during his replies, he pauses to write them out.]
I've now witnessed a robot heal as though he were made of flesh. 'Tis a sight I will not forget, no matter how I wish it were otherwise. I think it will take another Crystal-inspired miracle to erase those visions from my already crowded memory.

He's moving at his normal pace when he isn't typing, and while that could never be described as 'hurried', it's intent, and he's not that far besides. ...Ugh, maybe it would be worth his pride to plead for having teleportation back, if nothing else, sooner rather than later.]
