What?! So you won't collaborate with me, even for that...
[Even for their powers/body, he means, though it goes unsaid. Mettaton's lips part in surprise, as he felt it would be an obvious yes to work together to get something they both really wanted... as if he would change his mind half-way through due to distraction?! Freeing up his hand, he points an accusatory finger Emet-Selch's way.]
Just how little do you think I want all of the things... we've already gone over time and time again? You can't possibly forget just because I introduce a new idea to you. [Insulting! Did Emet-Selch think Mettaton had the attention span of a gnat?? (And so what if he did sometimes, the things he had little attention for warranted it. None of these three things were that!)] I'm just thinking ahead, about ways to earn more shards, faster! Work smarter. Not harder! My business plan is for the future, Hades, darling.
[Smarter, which was... with his own business! Then he'd be ROLLING in shards. But he would have to agree that the biggest priority, especially with Emet-Selch's help, would be getting the two things they want most—and then finding ways to gain riches. And fame, on the side.
Dropping his finger, Mettaton settles his hand on Emet-Selch's middle, at the base of the egg and gently upon his middle. Tempering, he blinks slowly at the mage.]
You should know. My priority is us. Your powers, and my body. Do you really think I can be distracted from that...? And what matters to you, matters to me.
