"Hm." "So be it then." Alchemist shuts the door after watching her drive off for a moment.

"He has a right to his own opinion, whether you like it or not." "It may help to understand where he comes from." "A fem as young as yourself could not possibly know what it was like for him and the rest of the Autobots."

". . ." Orion's other optic turns the same dark green as the other as he demeaner seems to change. Objects seemingly made of light form on what was Orion just moments ago. A pair of glasses and round shoulder pads the same color as his optics. -

He swallows his pride. "I can't let you do that." An optic of his glows green as he puts a servo out and shuts the door before she can exit. "You'll get yourself hurt." He holds the door there and approaches.

Orion stands after recovering for a moment from the slap. "You hit like your mother." Downing his drink before shattering the mug on the counter. "You barge into MY base, drink MY engex, and then have the nerve to hit ME?" "No wonder your mom sent you off to this place."

These kids nowadays- 💧 "I- I feel like I should be concerned, but I'm not." "I don't care who you love, all I'm saying is that humans are far less intelligent and evolved lifeforms than we are." "They're animals."

". . ." "Are you- like- messing with me? Or are you being serious?" She can't be, right?

"I mean I guess you could say that? We stop caring if humans knew about us once they figured out that we could practically tank anything they threw at us." "Though we do still hide just to make sure they can't hit us with any of the big stuff."

"I'm not blaming you." "Pour me another drink will ya? And one for yourself too."

". . ." "I see her in you. It makes me remember the time we spent together." "It brings up a scrap load of emotions I've been pushing down and holding in." "And don't call me sir, it's formal as hell and I don't frag with it."

"Your carrier also left me here without a single damn word." He snatches the glass and downs it, slamming it on the table. "Not even one! Just- POOF!" "I don't even know you besides what little I've heard from your mom."

He tosses a handful of Shanix on the counter. "No." He sits on a bar stool. "And no ice, I hate that stuff."

waitaminute "Hm-? Oh- uh- yeah sure." HIS Arcee had a kid, didn't she? He thought that name sounded familiar- Scrap- "I don't have too much so I'll just have whatever's cheapest." PLAY IT COOL ORION.

"Cool." Shaking her hand with the energy of a dead fish. "So who was your mom? I might know her."

". . ." "I-" "No." 💧 "I'm Orion Pax, Autobot second in command, yadda yadda look me up on the internet." Primus he's tired- 💧

"You're loud." Taking a looooooong sip from his '#1 Archivist' mug.

Orion's servo reach up, grab on her frame, and pull him up to her. He clings to her like a baby gorilla clings to it's mother.

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?" Orion flails in anger in her grasp.

Down he goes! Cherry red frame glittering in the sun as he quickly plummets. "AAAAHHHH!!!" Orion's limbs flail to no avail.

"No, I don't think so. What does it mean in this context?" Wow! If she loosened her grip more, he may just fall! But there's NO WAY she'll drop him, right?

"What?" "Is there a reason I shouldn't?" Orion wiggles a tad in her grip. He can't say being up this high like this isn't scary to him.

"Weeee!!!" Orion puts out his arms and starts swinging his pedes.

"Really? You'll do that with me?" He sits back up. "Thank you!"

"I didn't expect you to." Orion lays back. "The sky is pretty."

"Oh....Well I'll just stay down here then!" Orion plops down on the ground.

"Why? And would you mind if I joined you? I can't fly though so you'd have to come get me!"

"You're kind of high up!" "It's hard to tell! From down here, it looks like you're just floating there!"
