[Video] [Originating from Trionic Temple]

[The feed opens to show everyone's favourite crow girl, who...in all honesty has been in better spirits. In fact, she's nothing like how she usually is. Instead of bouncing around, she's taken to remaining curled in a beanbag chair in her room, holding the link as if it could disappear at any moment. Her eyes are red and puffy, her cheeks are tear streaked, it's...it's a mess. When she realizes the feed is on, those eyes harden for a moment.]

I want to see everyone right now. Bad things happen when people leave.

[She's rather short on words right now.]

Private to Soundwave

Soundwave...I need to see you. Please.

Private to Cliffjumper (Prime)

Thank you for picking me up...

...yeah.

That sounds like a plan.

Thank you...

[She bundles up more in the beanbag, curling into a ball. It felt safer that way.]

I'll be over soon, okay? Are you in your room?

I...I am. The door's open.

[Not that she can really...shut it.]

I'll be there soon. [and he will be - he was never really good at PE, but Raf's gotten used to covering ground since coming here. he'll never be a marathon runner or a sprinter - but he gets there quickly enough, knocking on the door anyway to announce himself as he steps in]

Kay...?

[Kay sees him walk in, and pats the spot on her beanbag chair to sit next to her. He'd made it...it was okay.

He was okay.]

Over here...

[aha]

Hey.

[this is Raf heading over, and taking that seat after shrugging off his backpack next to the beanbag

he's...not good at this, but hey. company?]

[Don't worry, she'll be good at this for you. Her arms wrap around him, pulling him close to her as she rests her head on his shoulder. Just...to be near someone. Raf was like a little brother to her by now, and...

She needed that family.]

[-oh well okay then. usually when he's pulled in like this it's either his mom or someone about to give him a noogie-

-but he's okay with this.

he sighs a little, shifts a but, and maybe not-so-awkwardly tries to return the hug.]

Things...

Things'll be okay.

[There's a slight squeeze as she holds on tighter, hiccuping slightly.

She's been crying, okay.]

Heh...you think so...?

...sure.

[he's not used to being the cheering up one, but he can at least try. that's a small smile if nothing else, and at least it's honest.]

My papa...sometimes he'd say that if things couldn't get much worse, they'd have to get better sooner or later.

[so that counts, right?]

That's...that's true...

[And usually she's the one cheering up. It's kind of weird and topsy turvy.]

We can only go up, right?

Mhm. Besides...at least we don't have to worry about homework.

[this is his attempt at a joke...]

[You know, it helped. She smiles, closing her eyes a bit.]

Mr. Ratchet doesn't see it that way. He seems like an old school teacher.

He's not a bad one. He can get a little excited at times, and he doesn't know as much as he thinks he does about Earth, but...

[what can he say?]

He's like family, now.

I know that feeling...

[She gives him a soft squeeze, at least smiling a bit now.]

I have a few bots who are like that.

[heh. he leans in to her, a little bit]

So as long as we have them...

[and, well. each other.]
