[ Have an extremely pissy looking red and yellow robot. He's got a pretty impressive scowl at the moment, and points directly at the video feed accusingly. He's still standing in the junk pile, his armor a bit scratched up from his landing. Not his most pristine moment and he's pretty aware of it. ]

Hey, what's up with all this? Do you know who I am? I'm Rodimus! Rodimus Prime! You can't just take me away from my crew without my permission and dump me in a heap of garbage. This is kidnapping.

[ His optics narrow and he crosses his arms. ]

I'll give whoever is responsible one chance to come forward and tell me where I am or else there's going to be bigger problems.

[That grin alone is enough to dazzle Wing.]

I guess he'll just have to speak for himself then.

[Wing's not certain what's gotten into you Drift but whatever it is, it's fabulous. He's just going to smile and bite his lip and look just a little bit bashful. What does he even say to that?] I...thank you.

I'm sure he will.

[An almost twinge of jealousy. What if...what if Wing likes Rodimus a little too much? ]

Thank you. For giving me a chance. And for ^{being you}.

[Now he's really ducking his head bashfully. It's not as if he's never received compliments before, but it's different when they come from this mech.]

Driiift... [It comes out in a bit of a playful whine.] _{You aren't supposed to say things like that when I'm not around to kiss you for it.}

[To be honest, Drift's 'compliments' are delivered with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. And that little duck of the head fires up his gallantry.]

You'll have to owe me one, then. And maybe it'll collect interest.

[Oh wait, were they talking about Rodimus? Oops. ]

[winged_knight]

[Well no wonder they leave Wing so stunned. Wing bites his lower lipplate again.]

I think I owe you more than that. And yes, it accrues pretty fast too.

[Rodimus who?]

.....

[Wing wins again: rendering Drift speechless.]

[Oh, right! Conversation. Now...how does Drift do that again...?]

I, uh. So, how are you feeling?

[video] Locked

[winged_knight]

[Drift, you are making all kinds of faces during this conversation and Wing wants to kiss every last one.]

I...um, well... A little tired, but... [he smiles] ...better now. [You're a good distraction.]

[Drift's systems are probably grateful they can't hear that thought or else Drift might risk overheating.]

Am I going to have to come over there and sit on you till you fall into recharge?

[video] Locked

[winged_knight]

[Drift might need a cooling system overhaul then if he's going to date this mech. Wing would be perfectly content to sit around all day just kissing.]

Ah--what, no... [A little embarrassed laugh, like he's been caught out. ] I mean..._maybe.

[video] Locked

[sword_redemption]

[He might at that. Drift can fight all day without overheating but Wing can sent him into the red with one kiss. ]

I'll do it, you know.

Please, Wing. It's important to get rest.

[video] Locked

[winged_knight]

[That's because kissing is definitely better than fighting.]

[A gentle laugh, because he's flattered by the care you're taking.]

I'm sure you would. [And he'd hate it, just, so very, very much. Meaning, not really.] I just need to get some information on the newcomers first...

But you know Drift. [A little smirk and his voice lowers.] There are better ways to get me into recharge...

[sword_redemption]

You can delegate, Wing. You don't have to do everything yourself.

[Drift, Blurr, others.]

[His engines purr, almost in spite of himself.] I'll do that too, if I need to.

[Or, even if he doesn't need to.]

[video] Locked

[winged_knight]

[He huffs softly, resigned, because Drift is right.] Yes, I'll see who I can find. Can you keep an optic on things though? Make sure no one gets out of line?

[Wing knows that purr, and smiles despite of himself.] You...might. [He gives a little mock shrug.] Just to be sure I stay in recharge you know...

[video] Locked

[sword_redemption]

You can find...me. [Hint. Trust him, Wing. He'll keep the world from imploding long enough for you to take a nap.]

Oh, if I have to do that? You'll definitely need a recharge. [So would Drift, though.]

[video] Locked

[winged_knight]

Well, I wasn't going to ask you to do both, but... [But he still smiles, because it's a bit like you're coming to his rescue.]

[And there's a little grin on his face that can't decide if it wants to be coy or mischievous. The idle of his own engines seems to have gone up a notch.] O-oh... Hm, maybe I'll just keep working then...

[video] Locked

[sword_redemption]

I volunteered. [He grins.]

[And then the grin turns a bit coy itself. But he knows that right now what's best for Wing is sleep, as much as he'd rather it be interfacing.]

Better idea: How about I wake you up that way.

[video] Locked

[winged_knight]

Thank you. [A flash of a smile, with some sudden, intense emotion behind it.] ...for everything. Sometimes I don't know what I'd do here without you.

[Even if he wasn't alone or friendless, he'd still feel very, very lonely.]

[And that, sounds like a wonderful idea. One much better suited to the enjoyment of both.] I think that's perfect.

[Well done Drift, now he's actually kind of eager to find his berth with that to look forward to. Except that he should at least make an appearance at the meet-and-greet first, being one of the hosts...]
