re_alignment | [AUDIO TRANSMISSION: ALPHA TRION'S TEMPLE]

Did you want me to bring it to you? Or you could come get it if you'd prefer that.

[Avoiding questions sort of, go!]

...I just found a part of one.

I could come meet you. You're at the temple, yes?

[He stares for a second before his gaze softens a bit.]

I see. ......Are you sure that's all that's going on?

[Worry worry worry.]

Yes.

Someone died... That's all I know.

[Rung nods, smiling faintly at the other.]

Alright. I'll be there shortly.

[With that he ends the feed and heads out, leaving his office to make his way towards Alpha Trion's temple to find the other bot.]

[Dead End puts away the power core in his closet, before going to sit out front of the temple with Rung's box. He'll deal with someone possibly hunting him later.]

[Reaching his new destination, Rung spots Dead End easily and immediately, smiling warmly at him as he lifts a hand in a slight wave.]

Hello, Dead End.

[There's a musing, happy tone to the therapist's voice as he moves to sit beside the other, peering curiously at the box.]

Seems as though we've all been getting those--presents I mean.

Hello...

[He looks down at the box in his hand and nods.]

Yeah, someone is planning something. No other explanation for it.

[With that said he holds it out, it was Rung's after all.]

Maybe...or it could just be for the holidays.

[He reaches over to take the box, regarding it for a moment before slowly starting to unwrap it.

Talk about ungodly pink.

When he finally gets it unwrapped and opened, his optics flicker with a bit of surprise before he chuckles some, looking through the contents of the spa kit.]

Interesting choice of gift.

But we don't celebrate it.

[It's a human thing, why would they get presents too? Could be that Santa creature plotting something devious.]

...You should be careful with it. Could be a trap.

No, but I think it's a gesture of holiday spirit and good will for all of us.

[He smiles at the other before pulling out the bottle of polish, looking quite pleased.

He doesn't get to relax or pamper himself often after all. Though it's unlikely that he'll use it anytime soon.]

Hm? I don't think it's a trap..just a present. Did yo get something?

Good will isn't real.

[Not in this world or any other.]

... I uh.

I got a body part.

It is...it just seems so rare anymore.

[He says it a bit sadly as he puts the polish back in the box, pausing when the other tells him what he got. There's a moment of silence before he looks at Dead End, head tilting a bit.]

...A power core?

If it is real, I've never seen it before.

[His wings drop slightly when Rung makes the guess. Although Rung knows his diet, it probably wasn't too hard to figure out.]

Yeah, a power core... Someone's probably trying to frame me for killing whoever it belonged to.

I won't let anyone do anything to you.

[Its said without hesitation, Rung setting his box down so he can turn to face Dead End better, touching the others arm. Yeah, he means it, Dead End.]

It was given to you, I trust you when you say you didn't do anything to a bot here in Haven. So I'd anyone tries to say otherwise, I'll vouch for you.

[Not what he was expecting. Not at all.]

Don't ruin your reputation, I'm not worth that.

I've been doing this a long time. If someone is going to question my capabilities simply because I'm standing beside someone I trust, then they don't know me very well. I don't give trust blindly...just to those that desire it and that I care about.

I'm a Decepticon, you're the only one that trusts me.

In my opinion, here, factions don't really matter much.

[And he's going to hold to that. He had tried to help Megatron after all.]

[Dead End simply shakes his head.]

It matters to some bots around here. You'd ruing your reputation Rung, you really shouldn't.

I'm not worried about my reputation, Dead End.

[His tone was firm as he gazed at the other, hopefully making it clear just how serious it was.]

You have been nothing but kind to me and I want to help you.

Considering your profession you should be.

[Don't give him that stern look again.]

Rung... I uh, don't think using you as a snack is being kind.

I'm not though.

[He will if he wants!]

That's not what I--you've been kind to me in general, Dead End.

[Most others aren't.]

...How have I been kind?

And there isn't much point in going out of my way to upset you or anyone else.

[Rung smiles a bit.]

You've been nice to me...willing to spend time with me. That's more than most have done in the past. Actually, prior to coming here..most others couldn't even remember my name.

That isn't much...

[Rung he's barely done anything, you shouldn't want to stand up for him.]
