The reaction is more familiar to him now than it would have been prior to the arrival of the glyphless. Ultra Magnus is silent for a moment as he digests this response, the ridges to his optics narrowed and fixed together.

He'd be able to react with detachment before. It is harder now.

"I see," he replies finally. "I apologize; I did not intend to remind you of something painful."

There are many questions he'd like to ask. Though perhaps now isn't an appropriate time, not when Vector Prime has much to recover from. Magnus had come to apologize, to see if he could do anything for the Firstforged; here he is asking questions. Looking for answers.

Because he hates complications. He dislikes how his own situation has become difficult like this.

"I won't take anymore of your time. Thank you."
