Transformers' verse: Nellis AFB - The Workshop

[go-endeavour.livejournal.com]

She's not sure how she got the energon warm, but it was delightfully satisfying as she sipped it on this cold late morning.

Someone really should have told Endeavour that deserts can get cold, because she certainly wasn't expecting to wake up to a frosted-over compound - not to mention the fact that she had to use lock de-icer on the Workshop outer door earlier today. It was substantially warmer now that the sun was up, but it was still a little chilly.

Didn't stop the kids from going outdoors and having Ratchet explain more of the mysteries of the planet to them, though. She wonders just how he's keeping track of all four of the younglings out there, and shakes her head in wonder. Changing her position slightly in her chair, she stares down at her companion, who has likewise chosen to partake in warm drinks.

"It's quiet."

"She's strong," is Ratchet's quiet rejoinder. "Not physically, now, but the same strength of character and hope that got her here will pull her through this too."

"Hm."

Dev says nothing, but she wonders if she is strong enough to watch this cycle of hurt-and-repair happen time and time again.

He rubs her back comfortingly, then kisses her gently on the forehead. //It'll work out. Just watch.//

-Please, Sparkmaker?-

Another sigh. //Yes. I know.//

Ratchet sighs himself and puts his arms around her, hating to see her down and praying fervently that he never has to be separated from her as long as Elita's been away from Optimus.

She returns the hug, feeling suddenly apologetic.

//I'm sorry,// she says. //The past few days have been... You know.//

//I know.// His voice is soft as he slips his hand into hers and gives a gentle tug. //Your work can wait. Come play with the sparklings. Bumblebee will be back with Honey soon.//

She smiles slightly and lets him haul her to her feet. //Alright.//
