She's great. [he tilts his head over at wasp, having crouched to flip around on the hull, legs floating back behind him, arms crossed in front of him. like he's laying on a bed, but upright. space!] Have you met a Decepticon before?
Wasp met a Sound-bot, and talked to Autobot Mega-bot. Both were nice to Wasp...
Better than Spider-bot before Wasp got here. [ He nods, and then tries to go floating too. Pushes himself off experimentally and tries 'swimming' over to Riptide. ]
Oh. I'm glad you're okay. [he trusts that tailgate would at least tell him if he was injured.] I-- yeah, maybe. I know death isn't permanent here... but it would really mess up Cyclonus if that happened. And you! I mean, it's a horrible feeling.
And... you deserve to treat yourself better, you know? You owe it to yourself.
Oh, my god, Megatron is so weirdly nice now, right? [he says, shifting to give the two space, though clearly ready to grab them should something go awry.] You can't push too hard, though! You don't really slow down in space. It takes some getting used to.
...But I guess it wouldn't hurt to be a bit more careful from now on. I know already cause Cyclonus so much grief already. Sometimes it feels like I'm the source of all his troubles. At the same time though, I feel like if I just sat down and behaved, life would be super boring, yeah?
You literally just did a shenanigan that almost got you killed! Imagine how poor Acid Storm would've felt!
[he huffs, mulling this over for a bit.]
I'm sure he loves you the way you are, but it definitely wouldn't hurt not to almost die every now and then. We don't even know if you will come out the space bridge. Maybe everyone only gets one freebie? I hope we don't get to find out.
I guess I'm saying... don't behave all the time, but don't jump into a pit of fire for entertainment either?
It's better you learn this lesson with a near miss than by... you know. Doing something really bad. [not that... he has experience with that part of it, or anything.]
Did I not tell you when I died I went home and lived like a couple thousand years or so? I guess when we're not on adventures and have to take responsibility for ourselves it just... sinks in.
Ugh.
Lame.
I'm gonna see if I can set myself on fire underwater.
[Given how news spreads around at Maccadam's, even though Grimlock can't read Cybertronian, he knows that there's going to be a dance, and it involves dates.]
