[Video] feeling the Call

[Drift has looked better. His armor's dented and stained, but nothing looks obviously fatal. More than that, he looks...tired. And twitchy. Which is not a good combination in anyone, least of all him.]

Going back out to the Badlands.

Don't follow.

((OOC: because of his canon (D-Void) and having been into the Badlands twice already, he's feeling the effects of the Calling sooner than anyone else. BUT feel free to comm him or stop him or whatever! ))

...and what if I hurt someone?

I believe you're stronger than that. If you're worried, lock yourself in a room if you-

Ah. If you have to. Until... yeah.

[He cycles a breath.]

I can stop myself. If I have to. [He did before.] But maybe there's a way I can stop it. What if others are feeling it?

[ See this look? This is the 'I'm so tired of bad shit happening to people I love' face, Drift. It may also be interpreted as the 'sad-human-face'. ]

Just. This once. It's not your responsibility. Please. I- [ Right. No. That's selfish. ]

Perceptor needs you. Here.

[This look is the 'guilty bunny' look which is his response to your look.]

Vandal--

[A hesitation, and a curse he really hopes she doesn't hear. ]

...all right.

[ Man this is some powerful pout going on here. But she sounds relieved when he finally relents. Even manages a tired half-smile. ]

Thank you, Drift.

[ And just for you, she holds up the can of tuna and pulls the lid off. ]

Promise is a promise.

[He's already having misgivings, but Vandal and Wing are just inexorable, reminding him that they'd be hurt. In a way, his life was much simpler with the Autobots, where no one cared if he lived or died.]

Good. [He's going to watch her eat. Not in a creepy way, though. But he is going to make sure Vandal keeps her end of the bargain.]

And thank you. For all that work you've been doing.

[ Love complicates things, without a doubt. ]

Ah. S'the least I can do for. Everyone.

[ Mmm attractive, eating tuna with her hands, covered in all sorts of dirty motor oil and other various fluids you can only get at by slicing a mech open. This is the picture of sexy right here. ]

[He is no good at complications.]

That doesn't mean it's not important work or that I can't express thanks for all of us for it.

[Sexy or not, the sight of her taking a break and getting some nutrients is a good thing, as far as Drift is concerned.]
