too busy working out to

WHO: Kagerou & OPEN
WHERE: ALL AROUND HAVEN || Police Station || Trion's Temple
WHEN: From TFP!Ratchet's attack -- to now!
WHAT: After his outburst on the Network, Kagerou is rather desperate to prove himself as a capable police officer, hunting nonstop for a fugitive he probably has no hope of locating. It goes about as well as you can expect.
WARNINGS: None now.
Note: If you could put the date and location in the subject, that would be awesome!

[He's probably become a familiar sight around the Haven skies of late. A shadow ghosting across the stars, or lurking in the darker places behind buildings. Scans are running constantly. No part of the ground goes unseen. Guilt is driving him, mostly. He wants to make things right. Wants to make amends.]

[Make it up to the bot he thinks he's failed.]

[But there are some areas he won't visit. Some places etched in his mind as too terrible to return to. He won't be seen near Liege's temple. Nor Megatronus'. Everywhere else, he is a near-constant presence. Look up. You might see him!]

~

[Even so, he can't be everywhere. Every so often, he'll return to the police station. Make reports, they said. Check in, they said. And so, in between sweeps of the Haven, he'll stop at the station. Even if no one is inside, or present, he'll offer up his report via datapad, leaving it on a desk.]

[Nothing, it usually says. Nothing unusual reported.]

[And he treats every report of that nature, like a failure. His shoulders slump a little more, and he leaves the station looking more dejected, though his expression remains as closed and neutral as possible. If someone is present in the station, he'll stop to speak with them, of course. But otherwise, he's in and out in a matter of minutes.]

~

[Rarer still, he returns to Trion's temple. To the room he and Kay and now... now another... are sharing. It's usually late when he does drag himself back. He's always low on fuel, low on rest. He'll all but stumble through the temple, nodding to passersby, or whoever happens to be on his way.]

[He will return to the room for only as long as it takes for him to refuel. To make certain Kay is all right. To make certain nothing terrible has happened.]

[And then he's gone again. Weary, frustrated, and wracked with too much guilt. But pushing onward all the same.]

You kidding? I don't mind in the least--as long as you don't like...step on me or anything. Then we might have a slight problem.

[She giggles, immediately throwing her arms around Shadowmaru's leg armor and squeezing as tight as she can.]

Welcome to Cybertron, Mr. Shadowmaru.

[It's the least she can do for him, and somehow...everything seems complete. She only just met Shadowmaru now, but there's a weird...comforting feeling about all of this.

The feeling's mutual, Kagerou. It's family.]
loborobo: (All smiles.)

[Shadowmaru is taken aback by he embrace from the human. He almost looks over to Kagerou, as if asking for permission.

Was it right for him to even touch her? To embrace back? He does kneel down before Kay and smiles gently with a small laugh. He owes her a lot. Keeping Kagerou safe, and being just a friend towards him, while he was 'away'.]


Just 'Shadowmaru' is alright, Kay. No need to be so formal. [But man was that endearing.]

[There was a difference in Kagerou. Kay wouldn't comment on it--some things were best left unsaid--but she could see his confidence soaring. Like he's trying to get praise from this one.

Kagerou really did adore this robot.

If that was the case, then she'd do just the same.]


Okay, Shadowmaru. Sorry, it's just a habit! And you said you're staying here with us right? I'll have to move some stuff around, but we definitely have the room. See that?

[Her finger points past them, to a beanbag chair.]

That's my bed, but I'll move it so you guys and sleep together!
loborobo: (Doge perk.)

[Shadowmaru's faceplate hurt, from smiling so much. This human was so nice. It was refreshing, and it make his AI flutter with happiness. And she seemed to be pretty conditioned around large robots. Probably thanks to kagerou. He does offer his partner a aider smile before he blinks owlishly.

Shadowmaru glances over to the bean bag and back to Kagerou.]


Sleep... together. [He shakes his head and looks back at Kay, waving his hands dismissively.]

No no! It's okay! You can stay there. I'll ah--

[He thinks before he snaps his fingers. With a small hop, he transforms into his canine form, standing tall.]

This form will be more accomidating for us all.
