Ah!Thisthingisfinallygettingasignal. [Blurr’s face shows up. It’s been weeks since he posted and he looks tired, scratched and in need of a good rest, but he’s smiling.

Because he's in the wastelands the communication is filled with static and sometimes it might fail completely.]

Greetings! I hope everyone's^{doing well. It's been}some time and now I'm afraid I need your help. [He moves to show rusty old trailer next to him, on its side.]

I replaced the tires of the trailer and tried to the fix the broken _{axels but there}was just so much I could do with something so old and rusted. I’ve been trying to flip it to the right position for hours but I do not process the necessary strength to do that. And in case you are wondering why I ^{want to take this} old thing to the Haven…

[Blurr opens the back of the trailer and sure it’s filled with wheels. Long lasting and highly durable, so durable they survived to this day untouched by time.

Merry belated Christmas, people.]

'Cade! You are still here. I was afraid I would be too late.

[He missed you too~! So much.]

It's really old but that would be great. And that way I can see you sooner.

You got lucky; I decided to wait until Christmas was over to leave. Besides, I had to stay to make sure you get what I've got got you~

Heh. I will then. I'll bring my tools and we'll see what I can do.

I don't really get why some people here like Chr-i-st-mas so much. Bad things always happens during that human holiday. Last year was awful.

[He makes a long face and then smiles again.] I would tell you 'you didn't had too' but we had this conversation before. I feel bad for not getting you anything, I will have to imp^provise.

I always enjoy seeing you work.

Just 'cause something awful happened last year don't mean it'll be awful all the time. It was pretty mild this year, all things considered.

[Aside from everyone trying to convince him to stay. That part was rough.]

Well. I would tell you didn't have to either... but instead I'll tell you I like 'me spur of the moment and personalized.
[If it happened to be 'Blurr and him in bed for a week' he certainly wouldn't complain.]

In that case I'll put on a good show~

I guess you are right. [Then again you are leaving Barricade, so he considers it still an awful time of the year.

Blurr knows better than force him to do something he doesn't want. The racer wants Barricade happy, whether that's next to him or away.]

Most of what I did this month has been exploring, running around and practicing my new flying abilities. I'm a lot more flexible now. [Make of that what you want. He will just smirk innocently.] You are not leaving tomorrow, right? We have...time.

My hero.

And I know I am. And if it tries to be completely awful... you make it so it ain't. No matter what. [If only Barricade had put that into practice sooner than he had.]

Flexible, huh? I'd be very interest to see you prove that. And I'm gonna be here until next week or so. We absolutely have time~

Aw, you know me. Always showin' off.

I'll try to do that. It's a good way to see things.

[Blurr gives him a tired smile but a smile nonetheless.] Are you doubting my word, good sir? We can't have that, for my _{honor of} Elite Guard. A whole week uh? let's make good use of that.

What are we going to do with you? [He fakes a very dramatic sigh.]

Good. Means at least someone is learning from my mistakes.

[Barricade gives him a cat-like grin, practically purring.] Oh I just like seein' folks out their money where their mouth is. From a medical standpoint of course~ Mm, but I ought to give you at least a day to rest; you've been gone so long.

[He chuckles.] Hope that complimenting me once is enough to sate my insatiable appetite f'r attention, of course~

It's not always easy to learn.

I talk a _{lot but}you know I can always back up my words with facts. Of course, a medical standpoint. [He's silent for a moment, wondering if they can spare a day.] I think that^{will be for}the best. I really need to recharge first if I want to give you a proper goodbye present later.

Why do it only once? I have a week.

It's not. Which is why I'm always happy t'help someone with it.

I know you do. But teasin' you is just too much fun, Jaybird. [Barricade hums and nods.] I figured it would be. And it'll give me a little time to get your stuff together, too. And I have a couple more things t'drop off. Grab a cube or two and some recharge. [He grins.] I don't plan on lettin' you get much once I've got my claws on you~

Mm, very good point.

[Blurr smiles fondly. This is why he likes you so much, silly mech.]

That _{is a great} plan and the best way to say goodbye. I'll miss you. You know that is not just for all the fun we have together, right?

On you haven't seen anything yet, Cade.

Edited 2014-01-03 22:13 (UTC)

Exactly what I thought, myself. And I know. I'll miss you too. Y'know, you are the first person I've L-worded that I'll leave, and that feeling sucks.

[The fact that he is even saying "L-word" without there being dire circumstances is a miracle.]

You've been holdin' out on me, Blurr?

[Blurr wasn't expecting that and he blinks a few times before to actually answer.]

I am honored to be that person. And I'm...I..it's the same for me too. [Barricade you are Blurr's first relationship that didn't end in disaster. He can't thank you enough for that.]

Perhaps~ Fastest engine in the planet plus the bon I got from miss Solus...I have a few new things to show you about what I can do with just my revving.

[Barricade waves one clawed hand.]

Shouldn't be honored, you should be slapping me about the face and neck 'cause I'm leaving. Primus knows I would have done that to the ones that left if I could have. ... But thanks for not. [Barricade, even if he's kind of awful at commitment, is not too bad at relationships from time to time.]

Solus's boons are handy in more ways than she might have expected, really~ Mm, and I am very much looking forward to that.

Maybe I should but _{what's the} point of forcing you to stay? You wouldn't be happy. [And that's why he's trying not to make a fuss over this. It's hard, though.]

Vector's boons are useful too if you want to try something more risky. [Blurr is not sure is flying could make things worse or better, though.] Soon, soon...

I wouldn't be. And I'm grateful you understand. That is something that I don't think I'll ever be able to repay you for, you know. [He doesn't think he'd be able to just let Blurr go without making a few complaints if their positions were reversed.]

That would be interesting. But I confess... I'm afraid of flying under my own speed. [The ship was different, but he has shrieked while bumming a ride on his jet friends more than once.] I can hardly wait that long~

You don't have too. This is what boyfriends are for. [He might not complain but he will still wait for Barricade to come back one day.]

Then we will leave that for another occasion. No need to break one of your legs when you are about to leave. [Poor poor Cade.] It will be worth it, I promise.
