[open/semi-closed] Pot calling kettle black

[angleofscience]

WHO: Jetfire, DW!Starscream, anyone who visits him
WHERE: Jetfire's (and Starscream's)room in Liege's temple
WHEN: backdated to Wednesday and forwards a few days
WHAT: Starscream whining because he's injured. Jetfire being long-suffering about the same. Anyone else being whined at by injured Starscream. Do you dare enter?
WARNINGS: None except for excessive drama from injured!Starscream



When the group that had gone towards the Badlands had started to trickle in, Jetfire had gone on alert, which paid off when Starscream's call didn't make him drop anything and he could just put it down and leave.

He'd managed, barely, not to say anything when he landed. He also managed to say nothing while taking Starscream back to their room, but putting him down on the berth after getting inside and his control was pretty much lost.

"How come you said nothing about leaving?" Briefly, one hand curled around Starscream's shoulder, a shade too tight, before he let go and straightened up, already having made sure any lingering injuries were simply those Starscream's self-repair would have to take care of themselves.

At least he'd had a medic see to him. That didn't make anything else better.

((OOC: if you want to tag Starscream alone, just make a new thread. c:))

Great. So now he had managed to get himself in the middle of a quarrel. That's what he got from trying to be helpful. Skyfire was sure that he wasn't getting the complete story, here, but he definitely didn't want to get even more involved either.

"I wasn't trying to lecture you," he said.

Skyfire was involved whether he wanted to be or not, simply because he is "the other Jetfire." So this was like speaking to Jetfire. Only not Jetfire.

But still like Jetfire.

"Then what are you doing?"

He eyed Skyfire suspiciously, figuring he changed the subject slightly because the two giant scientists were secretly working together in some sort of scheme.

[wherenobotsgone]

"... well. I meant to help." And it obviously wasn't working. He frowned a little, and couldn't hold back a sigh.

"Look, it isn't about what I think you should or shouldn't do." Not only about that, at least. "But there are practical reasons to let someone know when you're going off to do something like this. What if you hadn't been able to come back? We wouldn't even know where to start looking."

With Skyfire's exasperation, Starscream only seemed to smirk as though he suddenly became amused by what the large shuttle said.

"Oh, so you would miss me if I suddenly went missing. It's good to know my effect on others is cross-dimensional."

That, in turn, just got Skyfire to stare at him in disbelief for a few moments. Was that really what he'd understood from his words? Really?

"That's not what I-" He stopped in mid-sentence, sighed, and resisted the urge to run a hand over his face. "Never mind."
