[Audio - locked] Somebody stepped in it

[angleofscience]

... Starscream. [There's audible reluctance in Jetfire's voice.] Could you, er... come here. [Have some coordinates to a location outside Haven, which probably answers why there's a slight fuzz of static under the audio.]

[It might be odd to call on Starscream when something... ahem... goes wrong, especially as he's doing it because he wants to keep some sort of dignity.

And Starscream has seen him at his worst. Otherwise he'd have called Skyfire for help, really.

... He's aware that he might end up having to do that anyway, but for now...]

[He should just go. Right now.


Rght now.]

... are you two sure you'll be okay?



[Yeah.]

[action]

[angleofscience]

[Yes, Skyfire, save yourself from the lovers' spat. Unless you want to sacrifice yourself and offer a ride.]

Don't worry about us, Skyfire. [Have a lopsided smile.] While it'll take a while to walk back, it's hardly impossible.

[And then he sort of snaps around, optics narrowing.]

And if you had just put your personal entertainment aside for a moment I wouldn't have had to resort to using my hands to distract you!

[action]

[aerospacecommander]

[Oh, no you don't Skyfire. Starscream stomps right on over to the large shuttle.]

I'm going with you.

[And then he points directly at Jetfire.]

He can walk back all by himself.

[action]

[wherenobotsgone]

[... yes, he really should have left some time ago. Ah well.]

How about I just take you both?

[action]

[angleofscience]

[Sorry for having to request your help, Skyfire.]

If you would, I'm sure we'd both be grateful. [That's a brief narrow stare at the back of Starscream's helm as he walks up behind Starscream and puts a hand on his shoulder.]

If you'd rather leave without having to deal with this... ah, mess, that's understandable however.

[action]

[aerospacecommander]

No, it is not understandable. You better take me or I will not rest until I get some sort of revenge.

[He slinks out of Jetfire's touch because don't he dare try to hold him back.]

[action]

[wherenobotsgone]

[. . .] Let's just go, all right?

[And then he transforms. Can he go home yet.]

[action]

[angleofscience]

[Don't make him lift you up and tuck you under one arm, Starscream.]

All right. [Jetfire sighs a little, pausing right before going inside and resting a hand against Skyfire's armour. He'd actually forgotten Skyfire was large enough to take them both.] Thank you.

[action]

[aerospacecommander]

[Starscream follows inside and pokes at Skyfire's plating in a few places on the inner walls.]

I hope you're not as slow as Jetfire.

[action]

[wherenobotsgone]

That's actually pretty rude to both.

[But he takes off, and he's very fast indeed.]

[action]

[angleofscience]

And he knows it's not true either.

[Not looking at or talking to Starscream, no. Jetfire is definitely looking forward to getting clean soon.]

[action]

[aerospacecommander]

It's completely tru--ARGUH!

[He was about to ramble on more about their slowness but then Skyfire had to take off, so Starscream's sentence ended in a loud clang instead.]

[action]

[wherenobotsgone]

[He's not going to say it aloud because he's too nice, but yeeeeah, you deserved that.]
