[ Oh look! It's the lady in the suit. She sounds pissed. ]

Can someone tell me what the fuck is going on? Something heavy fell on my head in the medbay storage room, knocked me the hell out and I don't know how fucking long I've even been passed out under a pile of boxes.

The hell is even going on here?!

Yeah, definitely liking the safety in here.

[ She walks over, examining the mechanism quietly. ]

Incident...?

An incident that may or may not have involved using my grappling hook to.

Um.

Ride a monster off a cliff.

[It had been possibly the most awesome thing he had ever done.]

[He holds still while she looks at his grapple-hand, though, hoping he didn't jam it too badly when the centipede-in-question had tried to throw him.]

Christ, Skids.

That's fucking awesome.

[ Casually she starts to get to work, tinkering around, with a multitool from her belt. ]

You always pull shit like that off?

It might have been.

[It totally was. He's very serious about his adventures.]

Sometimes its a little more--ow--a little more planned than that. Other times, you find yourself alone facing off against a superior force, and the only way out is to light something on fire and hope for the best.

[Something like a cube of energon.]

You ever been in a fight?

Yeah I kinda know what you mean actually. Though with my luck the thing on fire would be me.

[ She just continues her work, yanking something free. ]

Me? Oh way more than I'd like. I am not an enjoyer of fights, let me tell you that right now.

Remind me not to let you near flammable substances if we're ever in a tight spot--unless its important that something explodes.

[He winces, trying to hold still but rocking a little nonetheless.]

Sorry...

[Why does this have to jam from time to time? It's always inconvenient.]

So not a warrior like Saber, then? Just someone who manages to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?

Yeah, I'll try to remind you-

Ah hold on hun, we're almost done.

[ She takes a very different tone when she works, like she's trying to talk to a car that won't start. Engineer thing, really. ]

More like gullible dipshit who's easily coerced into unfortunate things, but yeah, close enough. I get by though.

[He peers closer at her work, catching the different tone and wondering if she's talking to him or to his grappling hook.]

Ohh I'll have to remember that if I ever need someone to do something unpleasant for me.

You gained a lot of skills just getting by.

Yeah, just tell me some crock of shit and I'm your girl.

Hm? Just engineering. I'm useless at anything else.

[ There's a loud click and she removes her hands. ]

Try it now.

I'll start by telling you you're an artist with a crowbar.

[Especially because when he goes to retract his hook, it starts smoothly sliding back in.]

And I'll finish by saying you're my new best friend. A pocket-sized medic could come in handy out on the field.

You're sure you like it in the closet?

Ah, shucks. You sure do know how to flatter a lady.

[ She puffs up a bit proudly at that. ]

You probably want to grease that fresh when you get the chance.

Aha- well thank you. I'm just happy to be useful here, you know?

And yeah, when there's giant bugs around? Closet is great.

I'm trying to learn as fast as I can.

[There haven't been too many 'ladies' to flatter before, but he was finding they weren't so different than anyone else. Its why he likes them, really.]

You've already taught me plenty about humans, so its only the little things I still need to pick up.

In other words--you do make a difference.

Especially with grappling hooks.

[He holds his up.] I'll catch you later for that grease.

Well, heh. Glad to be of service in any way.

[ She grins at him, giving him a wave. ]

Thanks, Skids. Take it easy. Kill some bugs for me, got it?

I'll write your name on one.

[He throws a mock-salute, and is out the door!]
