"Kup, even before Prowl's tampering, was never an easy individual to get to open about his feelings. He liked to play the cold sparked individual, barking orders and being the tough guy, but he cared in his own way. He just had a horrible way of showing it," Rung said with a faint, fond note to his voice that was gone just as quickly as it had surfaced as he continued.

"I can't speak about every instance though, because after awhile Kup even stopped talking to me about the more personal things. But I don't think he meant to hurt you, Perceptor. War does horrible things to individuals and sometimes we forget how to interact with others and show them that they are important to us."
