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.]

It's a civic duty I don't mind doing. For everyone's sake.

[It's a bit tragic, Wing thinks, that for Starscream having others willing to protect or defend him is so novel.]

It's something friends do for each other. And though I have no illusions as to the depth of our friendship, I still wouldn't want to see you hurt.

[Hey, well. It's Starscream. The only ones he expects anything like that from are Jetfire. And some of the Autobots. Because they are Autobots and that's what they do.

Also, here Wing have an honest question with no snark attached.]

... Why?

[Video]

[winged_knight]

[One might wonder what motives people to do such things. Obviously it's not just faction...but the allies behind it.]

Because I value life and yours is no exception. Because I think you have redeeming qualities. [He gives a soft chuckle.] And because we have a camaraderie I enjoy, despite it's...unconventional nature.

Ugh, you aren't getting all squishy on me, are you?

I think I might get sick.

[Video]

[winged_knight]

No, that's something organics do. I'm just expressing sparkfelt values.

Glad I'm not in the same room with you then, though I might switch to text if you're going to purge.

[Video]

[aerospacecommander]

Repulsive values.

Do you think this about every Decepticon you meet, or am I just special?

[Video]

[winged_knight]

If they are so repulsive why so you want me as your bodyguard?

It has nothing to do with faction. And yes, I don't think I've had a relationship like the one we have. [Its strange in that it's full of conflict yet oddly companionable too.] So I suppose you are yes. [Though that makes everyone special, whoops.]

[Video]

[aerospacecommander]

I'd rather someone else get shot than myself. Contrary to popular belief, I do not have a death wish.

[Video]

[winged_knight]

Ahh, so those values that keep you alive then are the same ones you find repulsive.

[He nods, in that 'let's see how long that works out for you' kind of way.]

[Video]

[aerospacecommander]

I'd say it's more of my skills that keep me alive, but having a shield never hurts.

[Video]

[winged_knight]

Ah, well that's good to know. You never know when you won't have a shield to rely on.

[Video]

[aerospacecommander]

That's not a threat, is it?

[Video]

[winged_knight]

Starscream....really?

[That's patently absurd.]

People can't always be around to protect you. [And some might change their minds about wanting to.]

[Video]

[aerospacecommander]

Unless I annihilate all of the Autobots, I don't think I have to worry.

[Because those goody-goodys are supposed to protect everyone.]

[Video]

[winged_knight]

I...don't know about that. The Autobots of my universe, many of them anyway, would not have much issue leaving you to die.

[Yeah, it's a rough world, where he's from.]

No overly heroic, good-guy nonsense? Interesting.
