Rung's optics flickered before he suddenly looked extremely embarrassed with himself, ducking his head a bit.
"I--yes, sorry I didn't mean it like that. I just--of course," he said quickly, feeling like an awkward fool again. He really just couldn't break away from his work could he? Lack of social interaction over the millenia had really started to take its toll on him it seemed.
Attempting to collect himself, Rung focused on the foot Drift had in the water, resisting the urge to reach out and touch the water for the moment--as intriguing as it was.
"You are a better mech to give advice than you realize, Drift. At least in my opinion...you have a good view of things," he said softly, flashing the other a faint smile before it faded just as quickly. His gaze fell back to the water and he finally reached out to touch it, brushing his fingers over the surface some.
"No....it....was someone else. A member of the crew actually," Rung said in an almost whisper.
