i am what i am, a natural disaster

[tilallisoverused]

( There are a lot of things Rodimus finds himself thinking about once the day's been won. He knows what Prime is going to ask of him once everyone gives the other bot some space and he thinks-- he thinks he's going to say yes. It means leaving and he doesn't want to because this is his quest and his ship but he can't turn down the offer that Optimus is going to make.

Even if it means going back to Earth. Ugh.

But that's not the point, because Magnus didn't request a meeting to talk about what comes next. Or at least he doesn't think he did - he went through the memo and found it surprisingly lacking on the details of what he wished to discuss. Which was-- odd, for Magnus. Maybe it was a Minimus thing.

Whatever it was, Rodimus looks up from where he'd been drawing on his desk when Magnus enters - gesturing at the seat across from him. )

So? What's up?

[ He just frowns. ]

Expressions. Like facial expressions.

[ Do you see the problem here, Rodimus. ]

[tilallisoverused]

( Oh boy does he ever. )

No. ( Except he drags out the word, grinning at the end of it. ) Let's just start with-- 'it's a small world'.

( That should be simple enough, right? )

[matryoshkabot]

[ He can give it a shot. ]

'It's a small world.' [ And never has that phrase been said so gravely. ]

[tilallisoverused]

Close enough. 'Know someone inside and out'?

( He's quickly running out of ones he can come up with off the top of his head. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. )

Did Rung give you a list?

[matryoshkabot]

'To know someone inside and out.'

[ He grimaces. ]

No. He said I should try consulting media and my peers to attempt to make the transition more natural.

Well it's not as if you don't know any. It's just a matter of using them.

( And he can tell this is going to be a work in progress. So he gets up and moves to sit on the edge of his desk, feet on the empty chair next to Magnus. )

'Costs an arm and a leg'.
