As Random finishes his Sunrise, deciding what exactly to do next, he takes a look around the bar . . .

...Just in time to see the cute little pink and grey jet buzz the cute little dark blue and green one. Who yelps and cusses again as the pink one giggles like a little girl.

"Okay." Blue gives him a slight smile and steps out of his way.

Which makes Random have a 'O_o?' expression on his face before he returns to the task at hand.

Random gives her a slight nod before walking over, knealing just enough to reach, and gently, slowly and cautiously pulling Arcee into his arms. He doesn't lift her up out of the bed until he's sure he's got her and she's still okay.

The elderly femme continues limp and offline, her engine giving the soft sounds of standby. One arm slips from her chest to swing as he lifts her.

And Blue watches, her expression blanking to cover her feelings.

Any engine sounds are encouraging. It meant she was living. However, he still directs his mind to the task of being careful so he doesn't have to think about who this was for and why was doing this.

He lifts her out of the bed carefully and turns to start walking cautiously towards the bar . . .

Keg transforms to walk behind him, and Blue hurries ahead to unlock and open the door, then lead him toward the stairs. The bar is still and empty, and echoes their footsteps slightly.

Random feels some relief knowing that Keg and not one of the 'Cons is behind him. He doesn't know what he would have done if a 'Con had followed him> Also, despite the fact that it may be more than large enough, Random checks to make sure he and his passenger can fit through the door before attempting to do so and follows Blue inside.

The stillness and emptiness of the bar give off a creepy feeling, but his devotion to getting this task done right and carefully miraculously prevents him from being affected by it.
