[For his part, Mettaton doesn't seem to care about Kaworu standing over him. He's still not so down on himself as to feel condescended to just because he's lower than someone by height. Especially not since he's seven foot standing.]

Something will have to change, because we outnumber the captains.

[He's not just saying that because he's low charge either. It's honest. They may have been under contract, but if things got uncomfortable, he knew a lot of choice people on the crew that would not handle the oppression well.]

I certainly won't let anyone make my time even more uncomfortable than it already is. But then again, maybe the new path these captains are charting will be safer. That would be nice, don't you think?
