First, let me just remind all of you that whatever is being said about me is probably not true.

Jetfire is making stuff up again.

Don't listen to him.

Ever.

Anyway --

Also I'm on the law committee now. Isn't that great?

[He's totally smirking with that last part.]

So in other words: you can't prove that I did anything.

Come on, Jetfire, admit that you could be wrong.

I technically can't, no, but given the situation and the most likely course of events to have happened, and the fact that I haven't reacted like that to the energon previously or since makes it unlikely--

[Jetfire pauses and drags a hand down his faceplates.]

... But yes, you could be right. It's... possible the... ah, improbable option is correct.

[Happy now, Starscream?]

It's really difficult for you to admit that you could be wrong, huh?

I just want to hear you say it once.

Properly.

No, Starscream.

It's not.

But I'm not convinced you're correct, even if you certainly could be.

[Jetfire just shakes his helm and crosses his arms.]

There's really not enough evidence either way, and to truly test your suggestion if that's really how the high grade here affects my frame with the modifications, I'd have to get overcharged again in a more controlled fashion.

[There's no pause anywhere, but Jetfire's optics narrow slightly. Perhaps that is a good idea... If only so he can be sure of all possible reactions...]

Is it really that difficult to say "Yes, Starscream. I am wrong."?

Because it certainly seems that way.

Also, do you leave your room unlocked or will I have to break in?

Like I said, no it's not, but I'm going to need more evidence in that direction to agree that I'm wrong. I could be, but so could you.

[...]

And this matters how? I don't usually leave it unlocked while I'm not there, if that's what you're wondering. Any other time, it's not.

[Helmtilt. Breaking in, Starscream?]

Because if I'm going to stay over, I wanted to know if I'd have to find my own way in or not.

I like to be prepared for things.

Ah... Er, well. I'll see what I can, ah... do to make sure you can get in. Without any undue force needed.

[Earlier irritation soothed by honestly pleased surprise - not that this was overly strange by now, but they'd usually just stayed over during a night or so, not requiring access while the other might not be present, Jetfire nodded.

He'd... just make sure anything too interesting wasn't present in his room. And especially not any high grade he might be creating.]

You could have asked, though. Without going to the "do I need to break in" angle immediately.

[Or did Starscream just want to feel a bit "bad" by necessitating breaking in?]

But then I wouldn't be me if I just asked.

Besides, you enjoy the mental stimulation of arguing with me.

... Admittedly not.

[He shouldn't agree, really. He shouldn't agree it all, but...]

A little, yes.

[Jetfire can't really keep the small smile from escaping his control, but since he's already admitted it, it's not doing any damage really.]

I knew it.

What would you ever do without me? Wait, don't answer that.

[He doesn't want to hear about whatever science experiment you would do.]

[Jetfire's even opened his mouth to respon, because he has done a lot of time without Starscream. They both have. But he closes it at the same time as Starscream says "don't answer that", both because of what Starscream said, and because he realises that might not be the best thing to say.]

... A lot of things, I'm sure, but you do lend a certain... er, edge to things. As well as ready arguments.

[That smile hasn't gone anywhere, but there's a tilt to his helm and a somewhat dry amusement in the look. Starscream nearly always had to argue anything and everything with him.

... Not that, he supposed, the same couldn't be said of him. Which was part of the charm of course.]

Of course I do.

I'm just that good.

[He's serious about that.]

Of course.

[He somehow managed to say that straight and without laughing.]

When were you planning on, ah... moving in?

Soon. Why? Did you want to help me move?

[He can make you carry things for him.]

Would I need to? I'm doubtful you could have amassed enough not to be able to move it by yourself.

[Not that he... hadn't gathered up quite a a bit by now, samples of energon, rocks... things like that.]

And anyway, wouldn't it be easier to keep at least some of it in your room, unless you weren't planning on going back there at all?

You don't know what I have. I could have amassed quite a bit of stuff.

[Not that he really had a lot of belongings aside from science equipment that he borrowed ~~stole~~.]

I suppose so. If you have, do you need any help with this hypothetical... "stuff"?

[He didn't really believe Starscream had gotten that much together yet, though.]

No, probably not.

[He was just being difficult.]

[As to be expected.]

You're welcome whenever you decide to settle in, then, Starscream. I should have the lock situation figured out soon.

[Despite Starscream being difficult... Jetfire smiles.]
