[Voice] Trying Too Hard

So that's it then. Everything is back to "normal". As normal as this place gets and we're all left a little more fucked up than when we started.

Let's talk, humans, bears, Autobots, Decepticons. We're all people stuck here. Some of us want to be here, some of us don't...

But.

I just want to hear something good.

It doesn't matter if we're friends or not. But I'd like to hear from you.

Have you made friends here?

Would you rather go home or stay? If you want to go home, what is it there that you miss?

What makes you happy?

...be terrified of my driving? [It's a start. Donuts. *scoff*. He's got so much more in the 'reckless driving' category.]

They could but I'm, uh, no longer 'hug-sized.'

[Is it a good thing he's trying to make it a joke? ]

I will do my best to not be too delighted, then.

Heh- you know. I kind of prefer hugs from Robot-Drift. But Ill like you no matter what shape you're in.

...don't try too hard. [He'd rather have you happy. The more the better.]

Vandal....

[Yeah, he's got nothing. He'll just sort of squirm awkwardly.]

What? Did I embarrass you?

No. No. Of course not.

[He's such a good liar, yes?]

No, no. I think you're getting bashful on me.

[Seriously, Drift.]

No. Just. I'll try harder to be better.

For you.

[Cough.]

You are the sweetest. You don't need to try harder, you're great just the way you are.

... Also nice try, Mister Bashful.

Don't worry, it's cute.

I don't feel very great. [Like, ever.]

And I'm not cute. [Them's fighting words.]

Well you are. Maybe someday you'll believe me.

Ohhhh yes you are. Don't worry, you can be cute and still be manly as hell.

I'd rather be useful. But thank you. [Added hastily because she's right there and he's ticklish.]

I'm sorry for, you know, being difficult. [Drift = terrible human.]

You're useful, too. [Damn right she is, and no, she is not above exploiting his weakness.]

Ahh hey, you know? If you didn't have at least a little trouble with it, I would have been even more worried. Being a human isn't easy. I would know. Especially here, when everyone is bigger than you and frankly sometimes pretty damn scary.

[He doesn't consider it 'exploiting.']

It was...yes. I suppose I should be concentrating on what I got from the experience. You know, reflect on what I can learn.

Yeah. S'all you can do with a bad experience, right? Or y'know. Dwell on it forever.

...you're making fun of me, aren't you? [A grin. He needs to work on that. ]

Teasing. Teasing, Drift. You're a big doof, y'know.
