[it is still not decepticon to admit weakness so this post sounds hella jovial]

Next time it looks like I want an all-expenses paid vacation to Cybertron-knows-where, I'm not going to risk it. I'll just book a few days off from whatever it is stressing my processor and do the mountain retreat thing. Or drink.

So. Giving due credit to the planet for an overdue and pretty decent assassination attempt - I think, still a little fuzzy on that, I'll get back to you - what else have I missed? Vandal, how's your flimsy excuse for a house, any stiff breezes take it down yet? Blurr, are you still overworking yourself? Miko, Knock Out, your friends ever turn up? Soundwave, I'm thinking Sinatra? It's human, but nobody's perfect, right?

Megatron--...

...Still here?

... [Oh.] Good point.

[Blurr would be raising his eyebrows if he had those.] You WANT ME to hug you again?

[ex_dishonestly997]

Ha, I knew it. You're scared. [if he's got Blurr read right, he's not going to back down from a challenge.]

1/2

[raceme]

WHY would I be scared of THAT?

2/2

[raceme]

[See you are getting that damn hug >8[

...and Blurr's secretly not so annoyed, because ey he's really glad to have you back.]

[ex_dishonestly997]

[this time he's ready for it, and wrapping his arms around the lithe little racer in return, he talks right into his audial] You sure showed me.

[raceme]

[He tenses in surprise for a secodn but it doesn't last more.] I t-told you I was not scared.

[ex_dishonestly997]

[He doesn't attribute the tension to anything serious, like claustrophobia--it doesn't occur to him yet, all the little clues together, including the sleeping outside. He just thinks maybe Blurr isn't comfortable around him yet, since he's a Decepticon, since he disappeared, since his name is Starscream and in some circles that's a byword for treachery.

He lets Blurr go again, quirking a smile.]

I know I'm a pain in the aft sometimes. Thanks for putting up with me.

[Soundwave got the same reaction when he hugged Blurr for the first time. hugs are at least something he can get used to quickly. Enclosed rooms, not so much. It's nothing personal.

He smiles back.] Someone needs to do it. [His voice is softer, clearly joking.] I'm happy to have you back.

[raceme]

I eh..I mean...SOUNDWAVE was missing you a lot.

[ex_dishonestly997]

'Course he was. [Starscream wasn't going to bust Blurr's bubble, if he wanted to pretend he believed that.]

I'm happy to be back.

Are you still sleeping outside?

[raceme]

[Ey it wasn't totally a lie.]

Good good...

I change ^{my location} every night. [But that would be a yes.]

[ex_dishonestly997]

...Look, I meant it when I said you could stay over with me.

[raceme]

Really?

Hm...the problem is not you... [Is all the the crazy people in your temple also THE TEMPLE itself.] ..it's _me really but I AM fine sleeping outside and I really appreciate the offer.

[ex_dishonestly997]

Okay, okay.

If I wanted to ambush you, though, I can think of half a dozen better ways.

--I know that's kind of an obstacle, to our being friends. The Decepticon thing.

[raceme]

I just told you it's not you. [Not just him, at least.]

I got some really bad experiences with your ex-faction back home. [Blurr fidgets nervously.]

[ex_dishonestly997]

Blurr, listen. [he puts a hand on one of those shoulders, running his thumb down the headlight, slowly] You don't have to explain yourself to me. I understand. You need time, and when you're ready, we can talk about all of it.

I already told you I fumbled it with my world's Blurr. I feel a little better about you... and for a fast guy, you don't rush into trust.

[raceme]

[That makes him shiver slightly, no one usually does that. He gives Starscream a grateful smile for his worlds.]

Thank you. This _means a lot to me.
