[show_my_cannons]

Here.

Made it.

[He sounds... groggy almost. Like he's just witnessed something horrible and terrifying and loathsome all rolled into one.]

[There's a pause, before he thinks to mention where it is he's even ended up.]

... Mahogany. Made it to Mahogany.

[Ironhide, you'd better sit down. You don't sound so good.]

Where is the Mason girl.

[ Talim reaches up and gingerly places a hand on his arm ]

How are you doing, Ironhide?

voice;

[heartdive]

Everything okay?

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

[he just grunts and waves at her.]

Fine. Perfectly fine.

voice;

[show_my_cannons]

Yeah. Fine.

... Made it to town.

voice;

[heartdive]

I'd go take a nap or something.

voice;

[show_my_cannons]

Nah. Got to check in with the kid, first.

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

[ By now she's learned not to press when Ironhide clearly Doesn't Want To Talk About It, so she just gives a little nod. ]

Well, I think I may as well stick around in town for a while since I'm already here. Do you know where your friend is?

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

[You're a smart girl, Talim.]

Not sure. Asked... on the device. Gear. Thing. We will see if she answers.

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

Well, I hope you hear from her soon.

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

Yeah. Same.

[He pauses, awkwardly.]

... Still need to thank you. For that.

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

It was no trouble, Ironhide. I'm always happy to help.

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

No, I...

Owe you. For all that.

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

Really, you don't have to repay me.

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

Just.

Let me do something.

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

Hm. All right. I am getting hungry, so... how do you feel about lunch?

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

Yeah. That will do.

... Where do... you go?

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

For lunch? There's a pretty good cafe by the Center.

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

Right.

That works. Lead on.

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

[ Lead she shall! May as well strike up some conversation as they walk ]

Hm. Would you mind telling me a little bit about yourself, Ironhide?

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

Hn. Like what?

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

Where are you from? What do you do? That sort of thing.

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

Cybertron.

... I am a soldier. Always was. Always will be.

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

Oh, is Cybertron a country? Or another world entirely?

[ The soldier bit gives her pause. Hm. ] What sort of things do you do as a soldier? Well, aside from fight, I mean.

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

Another world. Another... planet.

[He almost says "Kill things", but stops.] Advised Prime. Trained others. It was nothing more than any other soldier in our ranks.

[ action ]

[colorsofthewind]

... This may seem like a strange question out of the blue like this, but I do have a point. Do you know who Team Rocket is?
