[This feed was probably meant to be private, but the right buttons either weren't pressed, or he just isn't thinking clearly enough to make it so. The ninja-bot is in the air, big surprise there, but looks rather resigned, despite it.]
Soundwave -- I'm sorry. There isn't any sign of Starscream... anywhere.
[He sounds pretty tired, though. He's been looking a while.]
Heading back in now, I...
[There's a sound like an engine rattling, a choked-off sound of gears and mechanisms grinding. His thrusters die, and his wings spasm to a standstill. That's what you get for not watching your fuel/energy levels. The briefest expression of surprise registers before... well.]
[Kagerou is abruptly falling.]
[Thankfully, there's a nice, smooth lake conveniently under him. So instead of smashing into the ground, he just turns into a ninja-cannonball as the feed cuts out.]

... a ride to the medbay would be appreciated.

TO ACTION...?
I know, dude. It'll be okay. I'll get you back to the medbay ASAP.
TO ACTION!
[HAHAH the irony of that.]
thank you
ACTION;
Doin' okay, dude?
ACTION;
I dislike water.
[Yes, he's all right. In need of the generator and full of water, but otherwise unharmed.]
ACTION;
Here. [He'll just carry you in kind of a half-cuddle.] I got you.
ACTION;
[He makes a surprised little noise when he's picked up, but otherwise doesn't protest.]
[This is... sort of nice. Sort of really nice.]
Thank you.
ACTION;
[Soundwave certainly has no problem cuddling you along the way!]
No problemo, Kagerou. Just glad yer okay.
ACTION;
[Once more, he doesn't protest. That's... really nice. He even leans into it a bit.]
I don't know how to return the favor.
ACTION;
You don't gotta return a darn thing, okay?
ACTION;
I'm trying to remember that. But... what if I want to repay you?
ACTION;
[He's pretty bad at the selfish thing.]
ACTION;
[He's just going to lay his head on Soundwave's shoulder, or whichever part of him is nearest. That's okay to do, right?]
You don't have to know now.
ACTION;
Fair enough.
Anythin' else I can do before I drop you off?
ACTION;
... You won't stay?
ACTION;
[He might as well. Starscream isn't coming back, and he doesn't have the bearings to talk about that just yet.]
ACTION;
[Then why are you hiding in a corner of the medbay, Kagerou.]
ACTION;
[Poor guy. Lightly, he nuzzles his forehead to Kagerou's; a gesture he did often with is Recordicons.]
ACTION;
[He really did miss contact more than he thought.]
I would like that. I'd like it... a lot, I think.
ACTION;
ACTION;
[He nods. And... shifts one hand. Just to touch the side of Soundwave's face, briefly, before he lets it drop.]
... even though I'm not like you. Or anyone here...
[And he pretty much lacks the words to say how much that means.]
ACTION;
[His mask splits and he smiles at Kagerou.]
I accept you for who an' what you are. It's what makes you you, y'know? Even if we're totally different. That just makes it more interestin'.
ACTION; wordvomits at
[And he can only stare up at him. He's been told he can't be like them, that he won't understand them. His 'own kind' either don't trust him, or probably want his 'other half'. He's never felt so completely alone since he came online.]
[But... then Soundwave throws this at him. Comes for him.]
[His head bows. He leans against him again.]
... I'm nothing but a shadow.
Is it really something you find that worthwhile?
[He certainly does. Shadowmaru had. But someone who isn't either one of them?]
ACTION; b-booo, kagerou ;;
Well, yer the most interestin' shadow I ever met, then.
But for serious? Of course I do. Yer young, so you got a lot of growing to do! I'm sure you'll find your own value soon. But when I look at you, y'know what I see?
I see a loyal friend. A strong, real living person. Sure, he's a little lost, but I think he'll find a good place for himself sometime.
He just needs a helpin' hand, yeah?
ACTION; AUGH FEELINGS
['Interesting shadow'? Is that even possible?]
[He starts to refute all that, but, belatedly, remembers he'd allowed the other robot access to his memories. That sort of gives Soundwave a unique perspective. Doesn't it?]
He... is more than a 'little lost'. He doesn't know where he fits. Or... how to find it.
[He grips a bit of plating, for something solid to hold onto.]
... the only help he has ever known... he promised he'd leave behind. And I'm not sure how to rely on another.
ACTION;
Still, he shrugs the best he can. Not to get rid of the hands, but to show his calm approach to the subject.]
Sometimes, it's hard. Especially now; I think with you an' some others, it's rough. This is an alien planet, with totally new folks. Doesn't help that yer stuck in medbay on a generator. ... I'm sure you must feel a little helpless. Maybe even a little scared.
But that's, like, totally okay. And if you dunno how to rely on another dude, you just need to look at your friends and say, "Please, help me."
I'll always say yes.
