Cliffjumper, to be honest, probably has only come partway for such a realisation, but he's also learned when to put things aside and not say anything more. Even if you want to. The confrontation with Rick when he wanted to go after Sephie was a prime example, and he'd been more honestly and uncomplicatedly annoyed then, at the implication that what he didn't know didn't match up, when it did.

"Nah, that's just what you do." Cliffjumper huffed and looked away, trying to take the teasing for what it was since any of the negative polarity Decepticons would do the same. It was just that he didn't particularly see it as dedication beyond and above what was needed, just... what you should do.

"So, uh... Should I stay--" Cliffjumper nods at a chair nearby, shifting awkwardly on his feet and actually pausing there for a moment or two before continuing. "-- or leave? May wanna power down some and slag."

If he didn't say something, even if they had capable medics all over the place around here, Hook and Scrapper would probably be very disappointed.
