Track 5 [Action]

[Miko slipped away from the hustle and bustle of the party at the bar, finally having hit a point where she couldn't hide her upset feelings. She made her way over to the junk pile and hid behind a few of the mounds where they were tall enough to hide her from anyone just walking by.

There she sat down and curled in on herself, starting to cry quietly. There were many things for her to be happy about, but all the stresses, of being away from home, having such a hard time with food, everything about Bulkhead's injury and losing Wheeljack had piled on top of itself and she couldn't keep it all in.

She tried to keep quiet but there was little chance that she would be able to stop crying now that she had started. There were tears running down her face and she knew anyone who just looked at her would know..]

(OOC: Feel free to have your character notice her leaving the party or wandering across her after a little while. Action is open to all (we can fudge time lines a little xD)

[He hick-up slightly, still crying but more stunned and flustered then all out sobbing right now.]

B-but it's yours, I don't want to ruin it.

[Sissel doesn't know what to do...he's never had anyone full out cry before...

Let's see, what does instinct say?

His arms wrap around her gingerly, allowing her to break free should she want to. It's a shame though, because he can't offer warmth or anything. Miko, you have an ice cold body putting his arms around you for comfort.]

It's okay. I can get another one.

[He doesn't know if he can, but he won't tell her that. Besides, it's not like he needs it.]

[That wasn't what she expected to get and she stiffens in the hug, her thoughts less on how cold he is. For all that she is shocked by it she slowly leans into it, because it feels good to be comforted, even by this stranger.]

[Feeling her lean into it was...surprising. He's never felt anything like it before...or at least that he remembers. She was...warm. Something he didn't feel very often.

But this wasn't about him. He keeps his embrace, glad to see she's reacting positively to it.]

What's got you down, little lady?

Just... everything. I... I miss home, my best friend is hurt and even though he's recovering it's slow and really hard...

It's tough, being separated from everything you know.

[Or he assumes that.]

But you're not in it alone.

I know, Bulkhead and Wheeljack are here, even Raf... and they are all being so good and strong about it. It just makes me feel stupid for being so upset.

Who says they don't? You went and found a corner to cry in. Maybe they do the same.

[He takes that tie from her and dabs an eye gently.]

Did you have family?

Raf probably does, poor guy probably misses his home a ton, but Bulkhead and Wheeljack... They are super strong. And they come from Cybertron, this place is close to home for them.

[She doesn't resist the help, and for the moment it seems to help a bit.]

I do, but I haven't seen them in a while... I was an exchange student.

[He listens, nodding when she finishes a particular statement or explanation. Sure, it was easier for Cybertronians to adjust...but humans...]

...Exchange student? What's that?

I am going to school in America for some time, but I'm from Japan, my parents are back there.

[Ending up in a place like Jasper meant she found herself explaining what a foreign exchange student was often.]

Japan...that's the place that man was from.

[He never did quite catch his name.]

America's another country, right?

[He's learning so much!]

Yeah.

[She doesn't seem all that confused by his lack of knowledge, she isn't sure if he is just from an Earth where countries don't have those names or what, but she isn't exactly up for asking at the moment.]

Don't worry, little lady. Things will get sorted out soon.

Until then, try to enjoy what you have here. You never know when it all might disappear. All the friends you've made and everything.

[She hiccups softly.]

I'm trying to... but sometimes it's just a little hard.

[He nods, but offers a little smile.]

You're strong though, I can tell.

[That makes her sit up a little straighter.]

I... I am. I'm a Wrecker after all.

[There is clear pride in the way she announces the title, as if she were proclaiming herself a leader or warrior.]

A Wrecker?

[He tilts his head slightly.]

And what's a Wrecker? Seems pretty important.

Wreckers are like... the best of the best when it comes to fighting the C... the bad guys.

[She isn't quite sure she should call the cons the bad guys, so she tries not to make a big deal of changing her word.]

They are super strong, and really brave. Both Bulkhead and Wheeljack are Wreckers, and they've made me one too.

[Best of the best, huh. He'll have to remember that.]

So you're heroes. What an honour for me to meet you then, huh?

Well yeah, in a way.

[Even though she is still sniffing softly she giggles slightly.]

Thank you.

Any time, little lady...

[She smiles, and though she is still a little sad she isn't at the all out bawling stage she had been before.]

Your a really good person. Thank you for helping me.

Let's not go that far. We don't know that.

[Not that he's trying to sound threatening, but...he really can't call himself good if he doesn't know.]

I'd like to think I am, though.

You're welcome...

Well they say what you do determines who you are... and you did something good here, so I think you are a good guy.

[She hesitates for a moment before giving him a hug.]
