[ For being a masked mech, he's radiating his confusion pretty well. His optics are wide, shoulders tense, and by his hesitant stance it's clear he's approaching the Link with the same amount of caution as someone would a dud bomb. ]

...Hello?

[ He pauses. Nothing happens. Some of the tension melts out of his posture. ]

Oh, good. I'm First Aid and I'm a nurse. I'm not supposed to be here. I'll try and help out where I can, but I'm not sure how I can help the... situation at least.

[ He fidgets his hands. ]

I'm looking for two medics by the name of Ambulon and Pharma. They're my bosses. They're about this tall--
[ He raises his hand to two different heights. He's not the biggest of mechs, so he's making it obvious they're taller than him. ]
-- and both are painted, ah, well they both have red and white. Pharma has quite a bit of blue.

[ He rubs the back of his helm where it connects to his neck, pressing hard into tense servos. ]

[ Cool, thanks for that vote of confidence and really laying the burden on. But this is First Aid. He just takes it in stride. No anxiety here. ]

We'll do our best.

[ He lays a hand over his chest, directly over where his spark chamber would be. ]

Pharma already asked to examine me. I'm sure he'll be thorough.

[...sorry? Sometimes Drift's motivational speeches go awry.]

You brought Fortress Maximus back. Don't underestimate yourself. No one else could have done that.

[You will accept his compliment or else!]

[He nods.] Pharma is good. He already made a cure for the Red Rust. Without hands!

[lifepersists]

[ !!!! .///. First Aid doesn't know how to take compliments, okay. Not that he has bad self esteem but still. ]

I just did what I thought I should do.

[ Speaking of Pharma... ]

About that. Pharma would really like it if you went to see him so he can check on you.

[Drift is awful at it, too, but that's no excuse.]

Sometimes you need to trust your instincts. [He smiles. Oh you can't evade the compliments, medic. You're 75% less scary than Ratchet and that deserves recognition.]

[And Drift droops.] I'll. Yes. I should go. I'm just really not good with medbays.

[video]

[lifepersists]

[ Oh, poor Drift. First Aid visibly softens a bit. ]

If it'll help, I can go with you?

[video]

[sword_redemption]

[Is his wussitude that obvious?]

You don't need to. I can handle it.

[Sort of.] Besides you have other important things to do.

[Than to make sure Drift keeps his appointments.]

[video]

[lifepersists]

[ Nah. 'Not good with medbays' just gets a kneejerk comfort reaction from him. ]

Are you sure? I really don't have anything I need to do after the surgery.

[video]

[sword_redemption]

[Which is embarrassing enough, really.]

I...could show you around Liege's place, if you haven't been, I guess.

[video]

[lifepersists]

[ Ah, oh. I see. ]

I could probably use the tour, especially since I figure Pharma might need me nearby.

[video]

[sword_redemption]

[Drift doesn't fear the DJD, you think he's going to be afraid of a little invasive medical check up?]

At least till he gets hands again, you're right.

He's...really down about that.

[And by down, Drift means, kind of mean.]

[video]

[lifepersists]

I can imagine.

[ He nods. ]

Just let me know when you want to give me that tour.
