re_alignment | [Video] - transmission from... is that one of the moons??

[Have a view of Jetfire sitting on the ground... on what's probably not Cybertron, because the sky above and beyond the large jet is the stark black of a planetary body without an atmosphere... or a neglient such.

Which means when he starts speaking, it's actually his comm patched to the Link. The thing is...]

[WELL THAT SURE WASN'T TRANSLATED, GUYS. Apparently someone forgot they're out of easy reach for the link to work perfectly, and the transmission is actually cut...

Until a while later, when it pops back again, and this time Jetfire, looking slightly exasperated, is apparently close enough to Haven, because...]

It seems I... ah, forgot the Link doesn't have infinite reach. As I had intended to ask... A question for anyone who is human or has been to Earth and have reasonable understanding of human culture... What does it mean if you give someone a heart?

((ooc: Translated from what's in the image there; "A question... for anyone that's a human or has been to Earth. What is the particular meaning of gifting someone a heart?" So basically the same.))

[Stare. And then...]

Well, if that's true, he might have had better luck if he asked with a cultural reference I would have understood.

[So bland, as he says it, though there's a tiny quirk to the corner of his lips.]

Perhaps he thought you would like something exotic. Who gave you a hear?

[Knock Out is amused too, even if trying to maintain a poker face.]

It wouldn't surprise me, but no. It was because he gave it in connection to that human holiday recently.

[Jetfire just shook his helm, tiny smile still in place.]

It doesn't really matter for the conversation, but I doubt it'd be too hard to figure out, Knock Out.

[Given that you came wandering down to the energon pools and all.]

Ah, I see.

Starscream, uh? I didn't ping him as the romantic type.

[Oh he knows~And he's both surprised and amused.]

Ah, not really, no. I doubt he had the full context of this particular gift. Starscream isn't very laid towards overly... sentimental gestures.

[The gift itself he obviously meant, but the romance? Not really.]

I don't think any Starscream in any reality is particularly romantic. What did you do in return?

[Understandable with Decepticons.]

[Have a slightly arch, dry stare.]

I thanked him, of course.

[Pause.]

I couldn't quite return a gift since I wasn't aware he'd put importance on that date, so I didn't have any [Well, he could've let Starscream had the piece of metal, but he wanted to look that over.] but there are other ways to thank someone.

[One that he will ignore, thank you so much.

No, better, he's going to reply with a a stare.]

Not, that's romantic.

There are. However, I don't need to know about your private life. Just a warning.

[That stare just turns slightly amused, but very bland.]

Not that I was talking about the present situation, but I wouldn't divulge that even if you were interested, Knock Out.

... Thank you for the... ah, information, however.

[Even if he knows perfectly well it was just an attempt at teasing.]

I would be more interested if Starscream weren't involved, to be honest.

You are very welcome. [He's going to look at Jetfire up and down, smiling as he always does.] Do you need anything else?[

[He's just... going to briefly lay a hand over his faceplates at that.]

I'm not sure I needed to know that... Knock Out. [And he's lowering his hand in time to see Knock Out looking up him and down like that and his wings give a visible twitch.]

No, I... ah, don't.

[Then you can't see him chuckling.]

Jetfire, come on. Relax.

Suuuure?

[Relaxing? When you're doing that? Not really. Jetfire frowns a little and shakes his helm. Do ignore the slightly too-bright optics.]

The topic isn't exactly made for relaxing, and yes, I don't. Thank you.

[Have a brief look Knock Out and then he's just going to cut this discussion short by disconnecting.]
