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.))

Probably a bit of both. [He does tend to wing things when necessary, after all.]

I did thank him for the gift, which was why I made this inquiry at all. I did ask him why the heart, but he refused to tell me. [The smile turns somewhat more into a smirk.]

I'm somewhat uncertain whether he thought I wouldn't do as he suggested and ask the humans or those here who have been to Earth, or if he was just his usual self.

[Difficult, that was. Probably a bit of both. And Starscream had probably not thought it'd have meant something as "deep" as this gift seemingly implied.]

Maybe the guy's trying to be... original. In a sense that is original to your species.

I'm sure if I brought home an oil pump or robot heart to the girl I liked, she'd consider that original. Though I'd more hope she'd be concerned...

I didn't think about that factor, to be honest. [He smiles a bit and then shrugs, before sobering up.]

Ah, well. Yes. I'd certainly understand worry in this case... I happen to know him well, however, and this... well. It's rather tame. He used pieces from the mechanoid centipedes.

[It could have been from actual mechs, if they'd had enough to fight.]
