[For whatever the reason, Ironhide has decided being outdoors in December is preferable to staying inside. You know, where it's warm.]

[He's... back on the beach. Bundled up in his big, black coat, and throwing a piece of driftwood for his Growlithe. Dog seems totally unfazed by the cold, running around and barking as if it were a summer day out.]

What is one meant to do, when stationed somewhere? Hmn? There is nothing to fight. Little to train for, and I cannot work these creatures constantly.

[He scowls, watching Dog scamper around.]

Not fair to them.

So... what is it I am meant to do here, if I am required to stay?

There's a lot of difference! Humid cold is way different than dry cold.

[show_my_cannons]

Cold is cold.

[You're not going to change his mind, kiddo.]

[Huffy]

You're older. That doesn't mean you're right. You're gonna get sick or chilled and I'm gonna say I told you so.

[show_my_cannons]

[GRUNT.]

You really think saying that, if I get sick, would be smart?

[You know. When he'd be more cranky?]

[video]

[machinamonkey]

After you're better.

[video]

[show_my_cannons]

That is still not wise.

[video]

[machinamonkey]

And neither is arguing with the human girl over human sickness.

[show_my_cannons]

My medic studied it enough.

[Yeah, and you tuned him out the entire time, old man.]

[video]

[machinamonkey]

You're not your medic.

[video]

[show_my_cannons]

Does not mean I did not overhear him babbling.

[video]

[machinamonkey]

Doesn't mean you actually absorbed any information, either. I bet you didn't, since it didn't really concern you. I know I don't pay attention to Paine's babbling about using weapons I don't use and don't want to use.

[show_my_cannons]

He is important to me. I would not ignore him.

Do not assume you know anything about us.

[video]

[machinamonkey]

I'm not saying you ignored him. I'm saying you didn't actually take any information away because you were a giant grumpy robot and not a giant grumpy human so it didn't really matter to you if we get the flu and how we get it.

[video]

[show_my_cannons]

You still assume too much.

[There should be a big sign in neon letters over his head reading: "TOUCHY SUBJECT".]

[video]

[machinamonkey]

[Hint taken]

I didn't mean to accuse you of not listening.

[video]

[show_my_cannons]

Fine then. Leave it at that.

[video]

[machinamonkey]

[A pause]

You should still come inside.

[video]

[show_my_cannons]

Eventually.

When Dog is bored.
