( Aw, well if he's going to wave at her then Nico can't really just text him back, can she? Her face flickers into view a moment later, her expression one of pinched concern, although if it reads more like a pout ...

Well, that's just Nico for you. )

Wait, wait - what do you mean they weren't gonna resurrect you?

( Sure, he might not exactly be flesh and blood, but even the most damaged machines are worth trying to fix if they mean something to someone. Mettaton is apparently very lucky that his Bonded was able to make their case for him! )

The least they could've done was try an' see if anyone could fix you before writin' you off - even if they didn't quite understand it, I'm sure plenty of us more mechanic types would've tried to help!

( And no, she doesn't yet realise that 'fix' and 'resurrect' are actually two different things, because her lack of experience with, y'know, necromancy, means she's assuming Mettaton means the former. )
