this world is not meant for you

( When his systems first kick back online he's disoriented - he remembers… he doesn't remember anything, which triggers the first wave of fleeting panic. It's offset by the background recognition of the hum of the Lost Light around him: deep, low, and constant. Home, he's home.

That's a start, and he relaxes and onlines his optics because wherever he is isn't his quarters. The area is dark and calming, quiet beyond the background sound of his ship with subtle lighting that he can just hear Drift say is suppose to encourage the spirit to heal along with the body. Medbay.

Cool, that's cool. And when he slides off the berth he's found himself on it's to go look for and reclaim his quarters, at the very least. Not that Rodimus wants to think about taking orders from Megatron on his ship for his quest.

But every thought of yelling at Megatron vanishes the moment he trips over something - a coffin - and then catches a glimpse of what's inside. No. Absolutely not. He isn't-- he wouldn't-- he'd know if he was dead. It's hard to miss losing half your head and oh Primus he really doesn't want to be here right now.

Which means that he starts running towards the Medbay doors with every intention of finding Ratchet and asking for an explanation. Preferably an explanation that doesn't involve his corpse. What he doesn't expect is running straight into another mech. )

What---?

[ Ratchet had of course promised that he would inform Magnus the moment Rodimus woke up. It's not that Magnus doesn't trust and believe that promise, but Ratchet is a busy mech and Magnus is off shift for the moment and... He just. Wants to see. For himself.

He isn't expecting the body that collides with his own when he steps into the Medbay, but it takes only a moment for recognition to slam into him before he's picking Rodimus up (gently, very gently) and kissing him. It was not the appropriate response, nor was pulling back just enough to cradle Rodimus' helm in one of his hands, but it was never the less what was happening. ]
