[For a long moment, when the feed clicks on... there's nothing. Only static. Did the manic-seeming BP start fidgeting with his Link again?]

[Then, abruptly:]

I'm sorry.

[The words are soft, choked. They're rough around the edges, as if edged by jagged points. If he were human, he'd have sounded like he'd been crying.]

[Despite the tone, the plea, it's clear the old Kagerou is back in the driver's seat again.]

I'm --

I'm so sorry.

I'm not stupid. I never said it solved anything. But it's a break. A fragging needed one sometimes. I don't know about you, sparkling, but I get accused of thinking too much all the time as it is. [Actually, the wording Skywarp uses is 'brooding' but he's not going to admit to things /that/ far.] Even I need to get myself to stop thinking once in a while. Much as I hate to admit it sometimes, it does help clarify things at least a little, once you do finally start thinking about whatever again. Does for me, anyway.

Whatever. You want to hole up, hole up. You want to get out and do something, then do it. I'm going out. Follow my comm-sig if you want to join me. [And he'll shut off the link, though the comm itself does indeed remain active.]

[Why the Pit did he bother again? Oh, right…because he's gotten soft since arriving here the FIRST time, over a year ago now. Though, really? He'll take just about anything over the spark-crushed desolation and hardness that was . . . /that/.]
