Nexus and Auspex's reality. Park by the sign and the sanctuary. Enter Bob

[gentle_seekers]

There's a flash and an explosion over the Nexus... and very few people look up other than to ascertain that whatever just went boom isn't coming down on their heads. It's not, so they go about their business as though nothing has happened.

Whatever it is streaks toward the park and leaves a smoking crater as it hits.

And a soft, wordless alarm call sounds in a certain priestess's spark.

He lifts his head to look at her as she pats his cheek, his optics focused on hers as he listens to what she says.

Then they flick toward the little Chiproach as he thinks he hears his name before going back to Auspex.

"Yes." He nods hesitantly, trusting and yet fearful.

*she smiles slightly at the chiproach* I think she'll watch over you, too.

*Auspex shifts slightly, for more comfortable long-term sitting. She hands Bob the corner of the carpet she'd peeled back* I will be right here; try to get some rest. *she pats his hand*

[gentle_seekers]

He settles back on the berth, his hand closed around the edge of the carpet as he looks at the little insectoid femme, his optics blinking wearily. At the pat he cycles air in a quiet sigh, and then moves so that he's snuggled against Auspex. "Alright."

Tired affection and gratefulness directed at both she and Primus touches her, and then he's asleep.

*Auspex nods silently in approval, reaching to absently scritch the chiproach, murmuring softly* I seriously question this method Starscream is using to clone himself, and the ill-effects on the clones' personalities...

*she looks back down at Bob, with a little concerned frown* He doesn't deserve this.

The Chiproach's cheery babble stills momentarily as Primus replies to Auspex with comfort and reassurance, then chirps a gleeful greeting and settles down to tell everyone present a very interesting story. The soft sound sooths the weary mech on the berth and combines with Auspex's presence to bring him the rest that he needs, and the rest of his recharge cycle is uneventful.
