Swoop was hardly going to keep quiet about it, really. Slag had been insulting him... and this was his first real chance to prove to Wheeljack that giving him a chance with the Wreckers wasn't a mistake. That he did the right thing. Swoop really just wanted a flock again, for all his protests about not caring.

Given how most of their talks go, the flier hadn't expected to see Slag here at all. He wasn't Dinobot enough for the other bot after all, so why would he show up in the medbay? They could snipe at each other easily enough over the Link.

"Not dead, though. Helped save day, just like me said."

At least, he thinks he did. He'd distracted Tarn from killing Wheeljack and that was enough for him. Agonizing cannon wound to the gut or no.
