[When the vid feed pops up on the Link, it starts with Swerve looking pretty confused, but this isn't exactly new to anyone who knows him.
To those who don't, welcome to Swerve-ville! Population: This boxy motherfucker and a whole lotta mouth.
He does perk up pretty quickly though, which again, isn't all that surprising. Swerve is pretty ace when it comes to looking like he's perpetually in a good mood.]

You know, I kind of thought we'd crashed through some kind of portal at first, 'cause this looks a lot like Cybertron. So I was thinking maybe there was some kind of massive surprise twist on the way and the Knights of Cybertron were actually on Cybertron the whole time, but it was an alternate version of Cybertron and the quest was actually supposed to teach us a lesson about perseverance and friendship.

Buuuut then some mech who was with me when I came out of recharge explained most of the actual situation to me. Kind of a disappointment, really.

[Though, if he thinks about it, this is actually pretty good. If there was a test on how everyone on the Lost Light was best friends, they would have failed it pretty quick. Because they're them.]

But, uh, just a note here? Waking up to a mech who was watching you during recharge just to explain the whole situation? Actually pretty creepy. So... might wanna get management on that.

[The saddest half-smile. Functioning does not mean functioning well, and it's actually a little sad that Rung is at that now, not that Swerve expected him to be much better.]

I guess functioning is good. It's better, anyway. It's something. But yeah, no, I think that maybe we should talk? I mean obviously we're talking right now but I mean in private since I, uh, I kind of owe you an explanation. And a lot of other things, really.

I mean. If that's alright with you. If it's not I can just never, ever bring it up again, ever. [Which would work, sorta.]

[As much as Rung would love to just sweep it all under the rug and call it a day, he knows better than that. He knows that it will still haunt him no matter how hard he tries.]

I would be alright with that. It's..probably for the best, just so there isn't quite so much of this awkward air each time we interact...

[He says it with a faint, faint smile, glancing down thoughtfully for a second before focusing on Swerve again.]

As of right now I have quite a bit of free time so whenever you wish to meet up, we can.

[As much as Swerve would love to do the same, he tried that already and it didn't work. There is no way a place getting off the ground like this one is has enough engex to make him forget for brief periods of time.]

I wasn't gonna say anything if you weren't, but yeah, it really is. We're pretty set for free time anyway, but I need a bit to get my bearings. I'll comm you soon, if that works for you.

[This will give him time to figure out exactly what to say.]

Of course. Take all the time you need, Swerve.

[Because it will give Rung the time he needs to pull himself together and prepare, better than he did for his meeting with Fort Max.]

Same to you. Wouldn't want to rush you or anything. [Just the most awkward but well-meaning smile. He feels so bad and this is going to be so painfully awkward to talk about, but it's like tearing off a tire patch or something. Better to not drag it out too long.]
