[Mettaton's a good actor; he takes the introduction in stride, which no doubt makes it less awkward. Surreptitiously, he taps away on his MID, texting Toriel the situation while he answers to Asriel.]
It's good to meet you, dear prince! I'm Mettaton!!
[A smile catches the corner of his lips.]
I'm the star of the Underground, so you'll know me better soon enough~
[Mettaton's message left the boss monster worried if not a bit confused on just what was going on. Her son seemed younger? The boss monster doesn't dally in coming back to the room, calling to the pair as the door opens.]
Asriel-? Mettaton-?
[When she actually sees Asriel, the shock is clear enough on her face before its gone as she walks forward to where the pair are settled. Mettaton had not been kidding about younger.]
[A tinier Asriel is comfortably seated in Mettaton's lap, ready to ask him what he means by being a star. The all too familiar voice immediately grabs the boss monster's attention, and his eyes widen with both relief and delight.]
Mommy!
[He's gonna try climbing out of Mettaton's lap to go see his mother.]
[Asriel practically leaps into her arms, all to happy to cling to his mother.]
Mommy, mommy! I looked for you and daddy! But I got stuck, and then Mettaton helped me [He probably fumbled over your name a little, sorry Mettaton] an' he sat with me!
I still couldn't find daddy though, or my toys, or... our house.
[For his part, Mettaton is perfectly fine with Asriel mispronouncing his name. He's not the guy to judge a kid for trying. This whole situation is just weird enough to be normal anyway. Why rock the boat?
Getting to his feet, he makes a show of brushing off his legs. He looks down at Asriel fondly, then back up to Toriel.]
Now that you're here, I ought to take my leave, yes? I did intrude.

Today is proving to be... an odd sort of day.] You did message me, dear. I was already nearby thankfully.
[She really wants to ask 'what is going on' but there is a big chance of upsetting Asriel with that question now.]
