[Because of this. Jetfire is patient enough to have dragged it out this long, both because he would rather either Starscream did the right thing, or he managed to get out himself, but as he hasn't...

Well.

Have Jetfire looking impressively blank as he leans against the workbench in his lab, arms folded over his chest.]

... If someone [since the mech who should be doing it isn't doing it] could help me unlock the door to my lab, I'd be... grateful.

[Briefly, the thin line of his lips tighten slightly and then he just sighs, static loud, before rubbing a hand over his faceplates.]

If you can do it without destroying the door, that would be preferable, but if not, I'll deal with it then.

[Have some coordinates to a building on a terrace on Liege's mountain.]

[Yeah he'd be real impressed but, you know, that whole 'locked in the lab' thing.]

Eh. Why not go for the humiliating while you're at it? More fun that way.

[Here. Whirl will shove a cube into Jetfire's chassis. Service with a smile? Not so much.]

Yeah, well this tastes like delicious freedom.

[angleofscience]

[Yes, yes, rub it in why don't you Whirl.]

Perhaps if I wished to have him angry at me for longer than I'm already going to make him, that might have been a possibility-- Thank you.

[Despite his dry earlier tone, the thank you is perfectly sincere and Jetfire doesn't really waste any time drinking it. Not so much because he's perilously low on energy as it's nice to not be.]

Freedom I'm going to use and point out to Starscream I'd... prefer he not do this again.

[With a shake of his helm, Jetfire's flight systems fire up and he rises up in the air a bit.]

[Of course but he's Whirl.]

Hey. Any time you want advice, I'm here. [Because Whirl will give the best advice. And you can do the exact opposite if you're smart.]

You'd prefer? OooOOOOOooo. [Scary wave of claws.]

Sounds intimidating.

[action]

[angleofscience]

[But of course. How could he have forgotten!

And yes, Whirl's advice is absolutely stellar.]

I'll ask if I need to, and I don't know, Whirl... I'd think it depends on how I express my preference, doesn't it?

[There's definitely a slight amused twist to Jetfire's lips as he says that. Since his expression of preference will be rather... dramatic.]

[action]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[Look at how well Whirl's advice has worked for him! ]

Yeah well, you know. Us Autobots gotta look out for each other. [He says to the guy who's going to go buddy up with his Decepticon 'friend'.]

I...guess. [He's just bummed he won't see it.]

[action]

[angleofscience]

[Clearly Whirl should only hand out advice, not take his own.]

Quite so... Thank you, Whirl. And I can't quite stop you if you decide to follow me, now can I?

[Buddy up after he slams him into the ground, yes! And that comment about not being able to stop Whirl from following is as far as he'll go with that before he nods and then does fly off.]
