Nexus. Blue's Bar. First meeting with someone you know.

((continued from here))

Blackout looks around the little hole in the wall bar as she leads Skywarp in, ignoring Blue's warning look from where the femme was talking to a table full of Minibots. Said Minibots are the only other customers right now except for that crazy girl that hangs out with the crazy little Decepticon that turns into a boat with wheels.

"Booth in the back?" she asks her companion, turning to look down at him.

There's a little over a third left. "Hmm. It's still strange. More than half the people here seem to be from Earth."

[random_xtras]

"Directly or indirectly." An absent nod as she reaches over to gently prod a dent.

"What is with that planet?" He swats at her hand idly.

[random_xtras]

"No idea." The hand goes up to rub his shoulder.

Hey, Scorponok, he's getting your scritches.

[agent-skywarp.livejournal.com]

Scorponok is motivated to chitter enquiringly. What is going on? Blackout, your hand is scritching but it is scritching the wrong person!

Skywarp seems almost as surprised, but he relaxes after a second and watches Blackout. He's still undecided on what he thinks of her, but that doesn't mean he can't enjoy himself.

Even if he might end up killing her. No-one ever accused him of being too upright and honest.

Blackout loves Scorponok... but Skywarp is fascinating.

And now she's not sure what to say. Talking about what she knows will only make him uneasy, she knows. Her hand continues moving as she thinks.

"Tactile, aren't you?" he remarks suddenly, as though he's only just thought to observe it. It seems odd in a high-ranking Decepticon, but then perhaps he wouldn't see it.

"No," she says absently, unaware of whether or not she's lying, though she'd go to battle to support the claim. She's never cared to touch anyone but Scorponok... and he really only since he became tiny.

[agent-skywarp.livejournal.com]

"You could have fooled me." Well, he's known her a short time and has her interactions with him, the scorpion and the rookies to go on.

[random_xtras]

"Maybe I didn't have anything worth touching before," she muses, her hand moving away from him to poke at Scorponok.

[agent-skywarp.livejournal.com]

Scorponok clicks disapprovingly and bats at her finger. He knows very well what his partner's saying isn't true. Blackout has always had him!

Unless Blackout doesn't mean the other 'bot to know that, in which case it is fine. But Scorponok sees through the lies!

"What, never?" Skywarp sounds disbelieving, slightly amused. "You had a whole planet to choose from, once."
