[It was gone.

It was a quick glance at first, but a quick glance turned into a thorough search. Going through it back and forth. Mirage didn't have all the time in the world, but he needed that last bit of reassurance before he met up with Sideswipe. And it wasn't there.]

Rung's name is no longer on the Link's roster.

[This was not how this was supposed to go...]

Right, like the things on a ladder. You--

[Well. That catches him off-guard. There's silence.]

You didn't tell me you were... that you needed a doctor for it.

They are called 'steps'.

[Oh Mirage...]

...It was...spur-of-the-moment.

They're called rungs.

... Still. You didn't say a damn thing. Why not?

That is a rather unfortunate name.

I was hoping you would join me for this next appointment. I was going to ask you...and tell you then.

[The 'tell you' meaning more than one thing]

Blame the humans.

...

Tell me?

About him being my doctor.

And one other thing.

You can tell me now... right?

...

After our mission, I will tell you everything.

... Yeah, sure. All right.

You... still need help sleeping?

Every now and then.

[More like almost every night.]

...you aren't...worried, are you, argento?

You should have said something!

... no. I'm not.

I was going to when we arrived at his office.

That does not seem to be happening now.

Clearly.

... What do you need me to do?

...

Keep close to me during our mission. Do not leave my sight.

... Right. Sure thing.

But how am I supposed to do that if you go all "poof" on me?

Is that what we are calling it now? "Poof"?

[It was a good point, though.]

I will not do so unless absolutely necessary.

Yes. Yes we are.

... But that's what you're good at. Can you handle this without it?

...

Yes. I will not leave you. If you can keep up, that is.

Of course I can keep up. All Spark. I'm not Bumblebee here.

Then we shall have no problem, eh, pond skater?

Live up to your name~

Don't say that. You'll jinx us.
