"..I was king. My word was law. And those who carried my will were also the law. There were other influences.." Saber trailed off gently, as she mainly thought of the church and other noble families, "but I was ultimately the king."

Absolute monarchy. Arturia Pendragon had ruled in such a position for ten years, with her knights and others advising her.

"Of course, there is the high chance of corruption in a monarchy. I never allowed that to happen. Others sometimes did act outside of my wishes. They were dealt with."

The knight pauses for another few moments before speaking again.

"During my reign, there were few major concerns with the state of the country when it came to the king and the law. We were in constant battles, and the main concern was food, shelter, and the threat of constant attacks."

"Cybetronians had never thought about that sort of order, not in a way that didn't end in totalitarianism. Megatron wanted to be the supreme ruler, but he never called himself King. He corrupted the idea of a fair system and justice too, killing millions to accomplish his will. But your way..."

Blurr sped up a bit more as he thought about what he wanted to say, the Haven was already hard to spot in the distance. "It seems like you need a special sort of people to be King. I think that's what Optimus Prime seems to be for some of my people_{. In mine, we had the Autobot High Council that's ultimately} leaded by Ultra Magnus. It's sad to see how wars are such a common thing among all universes."

How did they end talking about such distressing subject? Blurr shouldn't have asked her, 30 minutes and he was already ruining their date. "T-that's why we should take advantage of peaceful moments like this one, right?!

"It does take a certain type of person to rule. Even if that person is the law, is his people are unhappy with him.. then they will revolt and he will no longer be king."

Saber didn't find discussing politics to be depressing. But if the conversation became anymore personal about her particular rule, she may become disheartened.

"..Truth be told, it's hard to not speak of something distressing at the moment. Vandal and Wing are missing, and .. Sissel has been gone for quite some time. I am glad that I had the work on the storehouse to keep me busy.."

"Youareright. Soundwave disappeared too and^{Whirl's nowhere}to be found. I used to teach Sissel how to read, he was a really nice ghost."

He knew it was hard for her, she had mentioned that before and that was why Blurr tried to change the subject. Talking about missing friend was something that worried him as well.

"How is it going? There's still so much to do. IF you need any sort of help you know you'll always have me around to give you a hand."

He meant that almost in a literal way. Blurr was one of those few who wanted to stay in this Cybertron. Not because he didn't miss his homeworld, but because there was nothing there for him.

To empathize his words, he let his engine rumble and the car seat vibrated. He knew that some humans enjoyed the vibrations, or found them funny, and Blurr wanted to make Saber smile a bit.

"I haven't been successful in my search for someone to handle security yet-"

As she felt the vibrations of the seat beneath her, she went quiet and her eyes went wide. Oh?

"Oh, I see," she hummed softly, realizing he was attempting to lighten up the mood. "I apologize for being a downer. How are you enjoying working in the police force, but no longer being in charge?"

This was a more positive conversation, or so she thought. At least, Blurr wouldn't be so stressed anymore.

"You could ask someone in the Brave Police team? They are used to both robotic organisms and organics, since they're from Earth."

So, she didn't mind those? Good, Blurr was worried that it would irritate her instead of amuse her. "Oh no no NO no no you are not. Do not worry Saber."

It took Blurr a moment to reply the question, he was thinking it over.

"I miss it, sometimes. Mostly when I want to take care of some trouble but I find myself limited. _{At the same time} now I feel much more comfortable in my new position. In my world Magnus was the one in charge and he made us all feel safe. He was stoic too but a fair leader."

"The Brave Police," she repeated gently, and then nodded her head. Another recommendation to keep in mind..

"I'm glad you like your new position. You seem happier."

Saber hadn't known Blurr long, but she had known him somewhat when he lead the Police Force. And compared to then, he seemed much more spirited now.

Looking out the side window, Saber began to wonder where they were going. They were quite far from the Haven. The knight had been told about the Badlands by Wing, and had also seen it when answering Megatronus' call for help.

The reminder of Wing made her grimace a bit awkwardly as she hung her head for a moment, but then it disappeared.

"They are good bots." Even if Blurr was in conflict with a few of them when they first met. Gunmax and Power Joe mostly, but they managed to reach a friendly territory. McCrane being the one person they all liked and respected equally helped a lot.

"The first months in this new planet were a bit hard to deal with, specially with all the_{pain and death}Prism and Overlord caused." Blurr still held himself responsible for most of those event, feeling he could have done more to protect people. "But know I'm learning to enjoy myself more and also enjoy the little things...like going out for a ride with a good friend."

They were getting closer and closer to a giant mountain, but Blurr knew exactly how far they were from the Haven, how much time it will take them to get back. It was an ability that he gained one day, suddenly, not much after his glyph became brighter.

"Only 3 minutes and 45 seconds more and we will be there, I promise."

Ah, yes, McCrane. Saber knew him somewhat.

The knight remained quiet as Blurr spoke of Prism and Overlord. She had heard Overlord several times, and was wondering if she should be glad she was not here for the events that went on when he was on Cybertron.

"I'm glad; you deserve to enjoy even if just the small things for the work you do."

3 minutes and 45 seconds? Saber didn't mind terribly. Just.. riding while being able to relax was pleasant.

Blurr trusted him a lot, and cared deeply for the younger bot. McCrane had a good heart and a great sense of justice and what was fair. He was also less sure of himself as people thought and Blurr worried about him.

"Thanks, Saber." The car engine rumbled again, as if to show he would be smiling if he were in his robot mode. Blurr slowed down eventually until he stopped by a rocky terrain, right in front of the mountain, and opened the passenger's door.

"We are almost there but we still have to walk for a bit. Not for too long I PROMISE."

"That's quite alright."

Undoing her seat-belt, the knight lifted herself out of the vehicle and stepped away somewhat to give Blurr room for when he transformed back. A quick turn of her hips caused her dress to sway around her, straightening it out in the process.

"I've always been one to enjoy a walk."

He appreciates the room because Blurr intermediately changes

"Ahhh it feels good to transform. " He hoped Saber didn't mind him stretching for a second, hands going to his shins as he leaned down. He needed his joins loose.

Blur got an interesting view of Saber's dress from that position."I'm actually a fan of _anything that involves movement". He replied, looking at her between his legs before straightening up. "We need to go that way, to the left, until we find the entrance of a cave."

"A.. cave?" Saber asked, that not being quite what she expected. Looking up to Blurr as he stood, Saber gave him a curious look and then lowered her head again as she began to walk towards the direction he recommended.

She wasn't disappointed, not by far, as the knight was easily made curious by such things. Maybe Blurr was just the type of person to appreciate caves?

"A cave, yes." He did expect disappointment or some complain but he revealed no more. Instead, Blurr just waked behind her until they found the entrance.

It wasn't just a simple cave. It was a yet to be exploit energon mine and it was filled with blue and pink-ish crystals; and shiny minerals that covered the walls and part of the ceiling. That couldn't be seen immediately, on entering they had to walk down a dark corridor leading to a gallery, huge even for Cybertronian's standards.

At the far end of the gallery, sunlight could be seen coming from a wide hole in the rock. The light was refracted on the crystals, spreading colors everywhere and making the place shine.

Saber remained quiet while they walked down the large corridor. For some reason, the cave seemed important. She kept her 'complaints' for now.

And the knight would be glad she did. When they came to the stream and she was able to finally notice the light coming from around the bend, Saber paused. And then she could see down the other direction and see the wide, open room. This was obviously made from the rock by someone, and Saber couldn't help but be curious.

"Do you know.. what this is?" she asked, beginning to tread across the stream carefully as she lifted her dress to do so. The water wasn't moving quickly, but it made a pleasant sound against her armored boots.

The natural lighting and the rock formations were quite breath-taking.

[ooc. sorry for the slow replies. i got my wisdom teeth removed and I'm not feeling so well.]

Blurr fidgeted being her as he followed Saber. He hopes that the girl would like the patters the light created on the cave's walls and didn't find it boring instead.

"It's a mine, probably one of the many that are scattered all around the planet. _{I found it} while I was looking for possible organic food. Butheresmortosee."

"I see. It's quite fascinating," the knight admitted. The lighting was spectacular. She hadn't seen anything quite like this.

When they were across the water and further in, Saber hung back a few moments to allow Blurr to take the lead.

"Please, lead the way, then."

Saber simply hoped he'd walk a bit slower not only for her smaller stature, but also so she could look around.

The racer smiled brightly, pleased with her reaction. "As you wish."

She really seemed to enjoy the cave and, while it was unnatural for him, Blurr had no problems with walking at slower pace. "Most of the cry-s-tals are raw energon but not all of them. _{I can identify} a few that are carbon based."

If Saber looked at the crystals closely she could be able to see a few gemstones and perhaps diamond-like pieces. Blurr didn't think those were as important as the energon crystals because they couldn't be turned into a source of energy for Cybertronian, but he liked the way they shinned under the light.

Saber would stop more often for gemstones and diamonds than the energon itself, but that was because it was familiar. Diamonds and rubies and jades.. they were both stones that she associated with her family and her rule.

Even when the knight did stop, it wasn't for more than a few seconds. She wished not to hold back Blurr at a slower pace than necessary.

"You say there is more to see; what else could there possibly be?"

Normally Saber was the patient type, so her even bothering to ask showed all the more she was enjoying herself and maybe even quite excited about the idea that there was something maybe even more impressive to see.

Looking over his shoulder from time to time, Blurr studied Saber's reactions to know what interested her more, trying to figure out the reasons.

"It's just a few meters away, I promise." True to his word, after some more walking they reached the wider gallery of the cave. The timing was almost perfect and they arrived when the sun was setting in the horizon.

The rays of light that entered the cave and hit the crystals were reflected or distorted all around them, filling it with lights of different colors.

"Which.. Firstforged's sector are we closest to?"

Admittedly, Saber had lost track of their location when they were traveling so quickly. It didn't help that she had been focusing on their conversation instead of her surroundings, which was a rare occurrence.

Saber wanted to document this in her mind, as she was thankful for both the sights and Blurr's thoughtfulness about bringing her here.

Moving in front of Blurr, the knight put her hand to the tip of a crystal that was a part of a cluster. As she touched it, there was a gentle hum in response from the vibrations she had created. Withdrawing her hand in concern of harming the cluster, she continued to look around.

The only complaint she could possibly have was that since it was dim and wet, it was a bit chilly in there. Even then, that was a small price to pay for such a treat for the eyes.

"Near the _{westernmost edges} of Solus's Quadrant. I can send you a proper map through the comm link if you ever want to visit again."

Blurr had the advantage of his glyph. It got brighter a few months ago and since then he's been always aware of where he is and how much time it would take him to arrive to a different location. He never got lost, not anymore.

He looked at the girl with a soft smile adoring his features. "I know is nothing too impressive but I thought that perhaps you would like to see this."

"Oh, no. I appreciate this much more than other options we would have had."

Saber wasn't much of a socializing person, so simply going somewhere like the Haven's Hub bar wouldn't have done much for her.

Lifting her dress as they made their way along the stream, Saber remained quiet. The King of Knights kind of wished she had more to say, but there was little to say in response to the sights. It was best just to absorb them.

"I do feel a bit regretful this is not your first time experiencing this.."

It seemed she was getting more out of it.

Blurr is at the bar when he's working or when he needs to cheer up someone, drinking for the sake of it doesn't do much for him either and he wanted this to be special.

"Sorryaboutthedirt." Blurr followed her and leaned over, stopping before he grabbed the back of her dress between his fingers and lifted it. He remembered the time he did that to Quorra and she yelled at him. Blurr immediately moved his hand away and straightened.

"Eh...Sorry. It's not my first time_{here but}it's the first time ^{I did something like}this, going out with someone. WellnoIwentoutwithpeopelbut..not like this...as in..you know...asinadate.."

Saber had stopped momentarily to look over her shoulder when he picked up her dress, but since he hadn't lifted it beyond seeing the bottom of her bloomers beneath.. she thought little of it. Especially since Blurr had corrected himself so quickly.

That's right, Blurr had been kind of confused about clothing. It seemed all Cybertronians were. So, Saber didn't mention the dress or show any anger towards the movement. He apparently knew he had done something inappropriate.

When he began to talk quickly, Saber recognized he may be slightly anxious about something and matched his pace to walk beside him again.

"A date?" she asked, sounding a bit surprised. Not.. shocked, but as if she was unaware. No, this.. could very well seem like a date. Saber wasn't ignorant to the idea of courting, but she had simply never done it. "When I asked you if you wanted to go for a drive one night.."

The knight tilts her head and smiles softly. Perhaps, with other people, she may be slightly offended they would feel this was a date. Reason had no reason to feel this way towards Blurr. After all.. it could very well had been taken she was asking 'him out' from her wording.

"It wasn't meant to be a date, but rather, be spending time together. However.. if you want to see this as a date, I would not be opposed. I'd like to mutually agree, is all."

So, to Saber, this could very well be a date. If.. both of them agreed it was. Saber was very matter-of-fact when it came to near anything, and her relationships were no different. If this was a date, she wanted both of them to see it that way.

"That does sound better than simply two friends going out to enjoy themselves, does it not..?" she pondered. Saber was more whimsical tonight than she usually was, content with the work that had been done on the storehouse and her regained motorcycle.
