"Starscream." Briefly glancing down at the finger being jabbed in his direction, Jetfire then looked up at Starscream again and shook the container. "It's an empty container. You only need to put things in it."

He then held up the... arachnid, which had stopped shifting between datapad and spider form and was instead trying to keep both Starscream and Jetfire in its line of sight, twisting around in Jetfire's grip.

"You don't even need to touch this if you don't want to..." trailing off, he eyed the arachnid, "not that I'm sure how safe it is to handle given Liege found it safer to give it to us in the container, but kepeing it in there will not lead to any knowledge. And you're not a tool," the last he said nearly distractedly, eyeing the spider and really, why did he bother to protest the point?

It wasn't as if Starscream didn't use him as much and often as he thought he could. But then, that was the difference in point of view and attitude. Sometimes Jetfire just didn't understand Starscream's thought process and how he ended up being important enough to listen to all the while Starscream could in the next moment (try to) use him.
