[Closed] Just a little conversation

[invisiblepinkboat]

WHO: Optimus and Elita
WHERE: Optimus' room in Prima's temple.
WHEN: Around now/perhaps backdated a little to last night.
WHAT: Talking about people who are gone and perhaps some sparring.
WARNINGS: None.

It was time to admit Grimlock was most probably gone. Either completely, or into the Badlands. In any case, the result at present was the same; the mech was no longer in the Haven. She wasn't... sure what to think. Or feel about it either.

He was "just" an alternate, and he hadn't been in the Haven for too long, but still, Grimlock had been... Very, very similar to the one she knew and counted as one of her most important people. She needed to clear her processor, and naturally, here the first two that came to mind was Optimus or Ambulon...

And since Optimus was the one who seemed to have a more similar experience, it was in front of his door she stood at the moment. Earlier than they'd decided on, but she didn't think Optimus would mind, really.

So after a brief moment of standing in front of the door and gathering her thoughts, Elita sent out a ping to alert the Prime that she was there.

Technically he was even the senior commander, giving that it was his idea, his ship, and his crew. Nowadays, though, especially with Grimlock having left (temporarily) to help Optimus on Earth, Magnus was as much the commander as him.

"Doesn't surprise me. Is he similar to the one that was here?" She pauses, and can't help a little grin as she uses the single greatest understatement in the history of everything: "A little... brash?"

Leaning back in her seat, rolling up the cable and then slotting it back in its place, the glow of Elita's optics softened in thought and longing both.

"He does rather well. At least well enough to not mind the nickname too much," she said with a dry chuckle, shaking her helm slowly. She missed them.

"'Brash' is a...suitable description." Optimus laughed, leaning close enough to give Elita a joking nudge, just as aware of the polite understatement.

"I imagine it wouldn't end well, if you Magnus couldn't handle a little immature nicknaming on Grimlock's part."

Especially given how many other, worse things the 'brash' Dynobot could do.

Despite her briefly dimming mood, laughter slips out of her at that, edging close to something like a giggle before she snorts, collecting herself. There's still a slight smile on her faceplates, however.

"As suitable as calling the Decepticons merely 'cruel', but it will do." Her grin briefly widens and she shakes her helm, amused, leaning in slightly towards Optimus again. It's mostly an unconscious move, though for that probably all the more honest.

"Probably not. I think it's kind of cute. I'm not sure if he even is the younger one of the two of them, however."
