Z'verse 3. Dalla's garden. Search for Swindle

[swindle-blitz.livejournal.com]

Blitzwing had never been this frantic before in his life.

Check that.. the Icy persona thought to himself as he appeared in what seemed to be a garden of some sort, I haven't been this frantic since I became a Decepticon. He refused to let either Hothead or Random out at this time, calming himself down. He was doing something, he couldn't be faulted for that.

But why the slag was he getting so worried about that fragging glitch-rat anyway?

Because it's my fault he was taken out of the Dream in the first place, Icy responded to the thought, unsure from which of the three of them it came from. If he hadn't dragged him out with him that one time, Swindle would probably be home, safe, not Spark-Knows-Where.

Smoke is asleep, and the middle brother's well on his way to joining him. But Night is still awake and asking the occasional quiet and very intelligent question about things when Swindle and Zoe arrive.

Hothead had given control to Icy to answer one of those questions. Probably a good thing...

[random_xtras]

"Blitzwing!" Zoe smiles at him, her hand giving Swindle's another comforting squeeze.

-Blitzi!- comes the silent cheer that makes the two wakeful Lu boys startle and look around.

"Zoe, Silver," Icy said cheerfully, then eyed Swindle, "Swindle...seems your holo-emitter is working..."

"Yah.." Swindle tries not to sound nervous. He doesn't do a very good job of it.

-Don't yell?- asks Silver softly, sending the mental equivalent of puppy eyes. -Silver steal Swindle. Silver keep Swindle.-

Zoe blinks and looks down at her cockpit, thinking that all of this is news to her. "No you didn't."

-Did.-

"...No."

No matter who, telling Hothead not to yell was a really good way to make him do just that. Icy gritted his teeth as he kept Hothead from taking control, leaving his irate sibling to rant on inside the head.

I don't care whose slagging fault is is, he SHOULD HAVE TOLD US! Hothead raged unseen, Does that slagging glitch-rat care how worried we've been? I'm going to slagging punch him in the slagging FACE!

Yah, we were worried! Random echoed Hothead, though without all the threats.

Icy said nothing, at least until Hothead quieted down again, "I'm not going to yell.." Icy said finally.

Zoe blinks at a sudden flurry of upset cheeping from her cockpit, and gives in to Silver's pleading by swiftly taking her out and offering her to Blitzwing. "...No, she is." >_<.

"Huh?" Icy was confused, but takes the cheeping dragonling anyway, "Why?"

Swindle was looking a little more worried now--why was Silver suddenly upset?

[random_xtras]

"I'm no sure... she's not making any sense." Zoe frowns with confusion.

"Hey, Swindle." Dalla comes walking in. "There are Nroo setting things up in my garden, and I want to buy that plant."

[swindle-blitz.livejournal.com]

"That plant's sold, to a Jon Weaver..." Swindle says, "I do have some seeds of the same plant, though...and Nroo...Oh!"

Blitzwing would suddenly find himself being pushed by an excited Swindle towards the garden. "What are you doing?" Icy asked.

[random_xtras]

"I'll buy those too," says Dalla, scooping up her boys as she follows. "But Jon came to me for a loan to get it, and I told him I'd buy it and hire him to weave."

And Silver stops cheeping and radiates excitement of her own.

Swindle considers, then nods at Dalla as he's pushing at Blitzwing. "I can do that," he says.

Blitzwing has no choice but to be herded out to the garden. "Vhy am I needed out here?" Icy asks.

"Because this is for you," Swindle preens. There's still a bit of nervousness to him, but his excitement is overshadowing it.

Nroo are scurrying everywhere, as is Starka's young human servant. One pauses and asks the approaching beings to please not step beyond a carefully chalked line. Another rolls up and offers Blitzwing a small thing on a stick, taking him to be the guest of honor.

Blitzwing is blinking at the thing on stick, but he's staying behind the chalked line. Swindle stays right behind him, grinning.
